Most of the odd jobs (missions given to you by NPCs) come down to simple fetch quests or brawls with NPCs. Missions come in the form of odd jobs, story events, and even classes (Jimmy is in school, after all). The gameplay primarily involves moving from point to point to complete tasks and mini-games.
It’s clever in a “high school” sort of way, and the situations Jimmy finds himself in are both amusing and fittingly immature. It isn't a narrative masterpiece by any stretch, but it works well enough however, the dialog and event writing is top notch. It does provide some twists in an attempt to the throw a curve ball at the player, but there’s nothing that’s too out there. The overall story is predicatably, and fittingly, juvenile. The ability to interact with characters, and watch them interact with each other, is one of Bully’s simple pleasures. The game's "respect" system, in which each clique's attitude towards Jimmy is shaped by the missions he has completed, gives each character the grounds to display their full range of emotion. The game takes place entirely within the confines of Bullworth Academy and its surrounding neighborhoods, as opposed to the sprawling cityscapes of the later GTA titles.įrom a story-telling standpoint this restricted perspective has a distinct advantage, allowing each background character to be given a unique personality. In a quest to bring order to the chaotic school, Jimmy completes various missions to bring Bullworth's cliques to heel.
Sent away to Bullworth Academy, the toughest school around, Jimmy is forced to put his troublemaking skills to good use in order to survive. In it you play Jimmy Hopkins, a troubled teenage boy who has been kicked out of every school in which he’s ever been enrolled. While Bully has a lot in common with the GTA franchise, it is much less ambitious in scale. I've never played any of the 3D Grand Theft Auto games, so I was excited to get my hands on Bully: Scholarship Edition for Wii. I don't have much experience with the free-roaming style of game that Rockstar is best known for.
