The BULLY: SCHOLARSHIP Xbox 360 Game

Rockstar is one of the most important companies in the history of video xbox 360 games s. Just like ideas so influential with the first-person shooter, Rock star practically created the open-world  xbox 360 games  as we know it today when they released Grand Theft Auto 3. Now, over the years, Rockstar has tried out some very unique  xbox 360 games  ideas. They released Table Tennis, a  xbox 360 games  I reviewed while back, and it was amazing, but one  xbox 360 games  in particular seemed to attract more attention than any other, mainly due to its subject matter.

This  xbox 360 games  takes the open style of the GTA series, and puts you in it as a troubled kid named Jimmy. His Mom even refers to him as a monster. Well, I don’t know about that, but from the title, I think wean assume he’s at least a bully. This is Bully: Scholarship Edition for the Xbox 360.Bully’s story revolves around Jimmy being sent to the Bullworth Academy by his mother and new step-father, and she claims they’ll return from their honeymoon “next year”.

While the head of the school seems to think that Jimmy can be changed, other groups are immediately calling for his head. The  xbox 360 games  uses different social groups as factions, so you might want to be friends with the greasers and the nerds, but not so much with the jocks and preps. In addition, Jimmy is still a student, so there are more rules to follow than in a  xbox 360 games  like GTA. Ghetto class on time or you’ll get busted. The beauty of the  xbox 360 games ’s storyline is that it really lets you decide what kind of a person Jimmy is going to be.

Maybe he’ll stay bully, or maybe you’ll play him kinder and have him help out the outcasts.  xbox 360 games play in Bully is interesting in the way that it takes elements of Rockstar’s previous open  xbox 360 games s and fits them to a school setting. Instead of using guns and knives, you get firecrackers and a slingshot. You gain a notoriety meter that goes up when you break rules, and fistfights just end in someone on the ground, but no deaths, obviously.

As far as controls go, it feels wonderful, thanks in large part to a brilliant targeting system. The camera, however, can be a little bit off. It seems to sometimes lag behind the movements of Jimmy, especially when he’s inside buildings. In addition to the exploration and combat elements, Bully also features classroom segments that play out as mini- xbox 360 games s. You have a timed button  xbox 360 games  for chemistry, a word  xbox 360 games  for English, as well as a few others.

 These actually are pretty fun, although I think they could repetitive after a little while. Bully was hugely controversial before it even came out, and while it isn’t as bad as the protesters seemed to think it was, keep in mind that this is still a  xbox 360 games  where you candor anything you feel like, so beating up helpless kids in it could affect impressionable minds. It’s rated Teen, and in this case, I’d say it’s probably a good thing to not let people under 13 play it.

Visually, it’s pretty obvious that this was originally designed as a PS2  xbox 360 games . Textures, faces and character models all look pretty bad, and the animations look a little bit strange. The  xbox 360 games  also features HORRIBLY long loading times. I really don’t get why a 2006 PS2  xbox 360 games  ported to the 360 2 years later should take this long to load. Bully is a very interesting release by a company that always tries to do new things. While I don’t think it’s as much fun as theta series, it’s still one of the most unique  xbox 360 games s in the industry. You should definitely check this one out.
