Bully: Scholarship Edition - Price and Release Date Confirmed

Bully: Scholarship Edition - Price and Release Date Confirmed
Written Friday, January 04, 2008 by Alan Pettit

Rockstar Games is best known for its Grand Theft Auto series, but Wii and Xbox 360 owners will soon discover another worthy title in its library. Bully: Scholarship Edition arrives on Wii and 360 on March 4 in the US and March 7 in the UK. Both version are priced at $49.99 and include the original game along with a bevy of extras.

Developed by Rockstar Vancouver, Bully puts you in the shoes of precocious Jimmy Hopkins. Stuck in Bullworth Academy, a stuffy private school for youths, Jimmy must deal with the common problems of youth. There are various cliques from jocks to geeks to socialize with (or avoid), girls to woo, classes to ditch, teachers to mock. This is a game of social networking and in that way a tongue-and-cheek attempt at simulating adolescent life in school.

Added to the original PS2 version are eight new missions, four new school classes (biology, music, math and geography), new unlockable items and clothing, new two-player offline minigames, new awards and, of course, Achievements.

Good i want this, but i only have enough for 6 games but i think Alan Wake and Resi Evil 5 are to be delayed so this could move in on there patch. Definatly want this may forget burnout paradise, so many choices!!!

I thought this was released on 360 when it was on PS2.

Shows how much I know. I'll probably get this after the price has settled to about $30-40.

Better then I thought it would be for PS2. I'll gladly buy it for 360...I cannot resist the call of achievements...

Good Game, Good News. Cant wait to play

Saturday, January 05, 2008 @ 06:47:44 AM

Damn, I was going to probably buy it anyway(which is rare for single-player games) but with a $10 price decrease that's a great deal. I almost got it for $10 on Black Friday for my PS2 but I had no idea if it still worked because it acts wonky now and then.

Sounds like there is no action in this game? Yes or No?

There is action, you beat up people!

I beat that game on the PS2, so I'll definetly get it.

Also, in the UK, this game was called Canis Canem Edit, as "Bully" sounded too violent for the goverment.

Comment #22 by prowlerdante
Saturday, January 05, 2008 @ 10:24:51 AM

Sounds awesome. Hopefully it won't get delayed like GTA IV did.

Comment #23 by LukeP91
Saturday, January 05, 2008 @ 11:51:32 AM

Yeah 'Bully' convinced children to bully others, according to the goverment. I still think Bully is a better name!

Comment #24 by M1KEIYAMAN
Saturday, January 05, 2008 @ 12:13:25 PM

Damn, thought this was going to be a completely different game, not just the first one re-done. Despite this, Bully was a quality game and with achievements, this will definitely be a game to buy.

I had this on PS2 and it was an awesome game, a little frustrating at times but I loved it. Can't wait for the experience again and getting achievements.

Sunday, January 06, 2008 @ 05:45:19 PM

Comment #54 by barbour99
Sunday, January 06, 2008 @ 07:21:17 PM

Achievements will likely be ace all classes, collect all rubber bands, tag all locations...

Will maybe give us some kind of idea how Rockstar will handle achievements for 'IV'...

I have this on PS2 and never though much of it, it reminds me of a kids version of GTA.

Poll

Downloadable content - achievements or no achievements - will you buy it with or without them?
If the content is good, or for a game I love, I'll buy it regardless of whether chievos are included
I'll still buy and play the downloadable content, but achievements would be nice.
Who the hell cares!?
No achievements, no sale ... and that goes for any game ... whether you're GTA or Halo!
Just stop with the DLC achievements full stop ... you're ruining my completion percentage dammit!
