Bully: Scholarship Edition has a few new touches that add something extra for those who already played the PS2 version. But it's those who never played the original Bully who will likely benefit most from this new release. Bully: SE ships March 4.
On March 4 Xbox 360 owners are going back to school with the release of Rockstar Games' Bully: Scholarship Edition. A port of the critically acclaimed PlayStation 2 title, the Xbox 360 version of Bully adds eight new missions, a competitive multiplayer mode, new classes and clothes. And, of course, Bully: SE also has Achievements.
Bullying in General in the UK is majorly frowned upon. The fact this game is about bullying would be considered as trivialising.
I do not know if the game attempts to educated but I suspect not. I think you can pretty much expect more problems with this game if PC World and Currys are not stocking the game (Although I think they are in the same chain) you can bet your bottom dollor others will jump on the pr bandwagon.
@Joe80, It is ridiculous as this game is much less violent than other games that are on the market. I believe that part of the reason is that it is a Rockstar title and that alone makes it protest worthy - people just like having scapegoats in new forms of media for their problems (believe it or not, people called reading, movies, and music all evil at one point in time).
"British publication Telegraph.co.uk has published an article warning parents about the dangers of a "new" violent video game called Bully. Wait, haven't we heard all this before? Yes, we have. Two UK chains, PC World and Currys, have already refused to carry the game and if the protesters have their way, more will follow."
Seriously, who as a kid hasn’t been the victim of bullying at some point? Even if you yourself were predominantly a bully, the childhood food chain dictates that there’s an abuser for almost everyone, no matter how big you are.
Rockstar announced today that Bully: Scholarship Edition will be released on March 4 in the United States. Three days later, the game will arrive in the UK. Bully: Scholarship Edition takes place in the fictional New England boarding school of Bullworth Academy, and tells the story of 15-year-old Jimmy Hopkins as he experiences the highs and lows of adjusting to a new school.
Rockstar Games and Take-Two Interactive announce the development of a newly expanded edition of Bully, Bully: Scholarship Edition, for the Xbox 360 and Wii consoles.
