Bully

[prog]

I've been enjoying the heck out of Bully: Scholarship Edition, the recent re-release of the 2006 Rockstar game for Wii and XBox. (I got the XBox one.) I picked it up after it dropped in price to $30, which I assume is a reaction to GTA IV's existence. Bully is basically a total conversion of the Grand Theft Auto engine, with a "high-school hijinx"

I was surprised by how much I enjoyed Bully. The narrative felt more cohesive than any of the Grand Theft Auto games, even now. The misogyny and homophobia... hmm... I'm sure it wasn't just MY school...

I wouldn't say it gets exactly nuanced later in the plot but it did redeem itself, at least for me.

Bully was a fun game but too short for me. I always feel cheated for getting these games before their eventual special editions come out. 'eh, this one couldn't be helped as with Resident Evil 4 though, since I neither own a Wii or an X-Box 360.
