Welcome back to highschool, and who better too welcome you than Rockstar themselves.

Upon leaving for their honeymoon, your mother and new stepfather, drop you off at a little place called Bullworth Academy.

From here on out you'll be introduced to: cliques, prefects, classes, teachers, the police, girlfriends and Gary: the sinister, cynical friend of your's who, for some reason, always seems like he's helping you for another purpose.

The game of Bully itself, is a mix between The Warriors (fighting style, sanbox feel) and GTA (missions/objectives).

I was surprised when I noticed the Teen Rating, but was not let down. What you'll find here folk's, is not that of death, blood, stripclubs, or (very) foul language, but a great sandbox action/adventure title with (some) language, inventive weapons, inventive ways of transportation, hours of hilarious dialogue, TONS of clothing (?), tagging, kicking soccer balls, dribbling basketballs, throwing footballs, picking up snow wherever you see it, giving swirlies, stuffing kids into lockers/trash cans, saving photographs, and of course, TONS of mini-games.

Throughout the game, the walls of your room will be litered with different objects that you've achieved by completing certain tasks.

You'll unlock other areas for saving locations.

The world of Bully is split into several parts: Bullworth Academy (academy, girls and guys dorms, library, gym, football field, basketball courts, pool, preppy house), Downtown (stores, townies hangout, comic book shop), The Town (several stores, boxing gym, preppies hangout), The Neighborhoods (houses), The Slums (stores, greaser hangout), The Carnival (rides, freakshow, mini-games, go-kart race) and The Factories.

I would say that the concept of Bully is nothing new, but the style is. If you're a fan of Rockstar you would probably enjoy this game. If you're shunned by the controversy that follows Rockstar, then you should give this one a chance..... it may surprise you.
