Bully: Scholarship Edtion -- Final Opinion.

Some thirty-seven hours later and the credits have rolled on Bully: Scholarship Edition. I have managed to earn all the achievements, including Perfectionist, which requires one-hundred percent completion of the game. That's something I've never bothered with in the Grand Theft Auto games. I can't really tell if it's because I enjoyed the game so, or it's because of the lure of the achievements guiding me through the game. It's probably a little of both. I really enjoyed the game. The game's story never strays from exactly where you're expecting it to go but it is handled greatly all the way through. Just about every teen movie in existence has some influence on Bully. Just as it should be. The music is decidedly playful and fits very well with the story and setting and events of the game. The graphics are decent enough. The Xbox 360 version is easily the best looking version of the bunch but as I said in a previous post it's definitely a port of a PlayStation 2 title and as such looks the part. The control issue remains throughout the game but you sort of get used to it. You don't quite reach the point of stopping it from happening but you can resolve it immediately. Bully is a packed title, if you want to do everything there is to do, that is. You'll definitely get your money's worth here. Bully is Grand Theft Auto Lite: Charming Edition. I'm giving Bully: Scholarship Edition for the Xbox 360 a 9. Bring on a sequel.
