Bully: Scholarship Edition
Rating T
Score 9.0/10
It’s time for another semester of the Bully series. Play as Jimmy Hopkins, a bad boy who has been kicked out of every school he’s ever attended, now making his way in Bullworth Academy. This game is available for the Nintendo Wii and Xbox 360.
School years may not be the best years for some people but the school years at Bullworth Academy can be! The environment is big. First, the players only need to know their way around the school and then they need to navigate through the whole city outside of the school. At first, this is much too big, but you’ll quickly learn your way around and discover shortcuts along the way.
In this game, you will make a host of choices along the way. Everything from what classes you’ll attend, what classes you’ll skip, who you’ll be mean to, who you’ll be nice to…the list goes on. Speaking of classes, you can attend math class, biology class, art class, music class, geography class and photography class. Attendance isn’t mandatory, but it’s recommended. Teachers will track down anyone who thinks they’re too important for class.
Players can hold a lot of different weapons, like a slingshot, firecrackers, stink bombs and even marbles. Players can also pick up and throw most anything, be it a soccer ball or an apple – even a textbook. If you have no weapons, you can always use your fist to defend yourself or your friends from bullies. You can also become a bully, but teachers will give you a hard time when they see you.
There are five groups: geeks, jocks, preps, greasers and bullies. Being a part of one group makes another group despise you.
You can have a better high school year, thanks to this game. Be whatever you want to be. To people who like, or hate, high school, Bully makes the grade!
