Platform for Display:PC
Fun:
Recently I bought a Macbook, and I wanted to try out the graphics card. After hearing so much about Bully, the controversial Grand-Theft-Auto dopplegagher I decided to take the plunge, and I must say this is a brilliant game. It has a few bugs which can cause Windows 7 to crash, often before you've returned to your dorm to save but this doesn't happen too often. I've been on this game for about 4 hours over the weekend, and I'm only 4.5% of the way through!
As for gaming graphics, it depends on your system. Native resolution looks fantastic with Anti-Alias and Shadows on, smoothing the edges and casting pools of black light behind Jimmy and his other schoolmates. This game is more about helping those being bullied than being a bully yourself, so it's not as ethically off-key as people think.
Overall, a fantastic purchase. It arrived within 3 days in brand new condition.

Grand Theft Auto it isn't, but Bully does have a reasonably large map, good gameplay and a half-decent story. The PC port isn't as good as the console versions, but if you can get the controls mapped in a way that suits you, or have an xbox 360 contoller (which makes things A LOT easier) you shouldn't have a problem. It has dated a bit and there are many better sandbox games these days, but for this price I won't complain.

Ironically enough, I actually didn't experience any problems at all when I played this on my (rather old!) PC system.. so that's a plus point but I am therefore also unable to comment on or confirm any of the serious glitches that others have apparently encountered..
One thing that hasn't been mentioned elsewhere (unless I missed it) is that there's a printing / production cock-up on the front cover - in that (as you can see here on amazon) it clearly states "Includes Original Soundtrack".
Now, I suppose that *could* mean that the game itself has a soundtrack.. and an "original" one at that. However, surely it actually means that there should be a soundtrack _cd_ included inside?
That was my interpretation anyway - and if the case, then it's bobbins as there is NO Soundtrack CD included! (at all) - no slot for one and also no further reference of one in the manual etc. So, for me, the front cover is at the very least misleading (unlike, say, the PC version of Mirror's Edge - which had a similar claim on the cover, but actually DID include a soundtrack CD - nice). Sadly not the case here though.
The saddest part of all is that the Bully Soundtrack Score is nothing short of *fantastic!* - Wholly apt, good fun and actually very good music to listen to in it's own right. Fortunately it IS available as a stand-alone CD - try searching the "Music" channel here and typing "bully soundtrack" - highly recommended.

A great game when you can get it to run
I'm going to start this review by stating a few things. Firstly, I know that this game is quite old and obviously isn't going to run perfectly on modern machines. Read more

Great game!
As I'm not a great fan of Sony, I waited for the PC version to come out and here it is. I had no idea that there would be a PC version of Bully. Read more

Very bad quality PC port.
