2006's Bully (or Canis Canem Edit if you got the renamed UK version) is arguably Rockstar's most underrated game to date. Despite the needless controversy surrounding its content (or what the mainstream press thought was in it, anyway), the house of GTA's schoolyard romp proved to be more Grange Hill than The Sopranos, and definitely one of Rockstar's most enjoyable and charming games of the last few years.

Scholarship Edition is somewhat of a director's cut for Bully, the game released as Canis Canem Edit in Europe in 2006. The new version keeps the soul of the original PlayStation 2 game and adds a next-gen polish to its body. It also adds new graphics, extra solo missions, and multiplayer games.

"If you’ve already taken Bully for a spin on PS2, Scholarship Edition isn’t going to be worth the extra $50 you’d plop down for motion control and new missions. For those that haven’t made the rounds at Bullworth Academy, you’re missing out, as Bully is a charming, entertaining experience, and far more lighthearted than it has been made out to be."

Oh Bully, how we've missed you. For those that had the privilege of kicking a little butt at Bullworth Academy a couple years back on PS2, you already know where my little opening anecdote (one of the best I've had in a while, don't you agree?) is gong. Bully, Rockstar's teen-oriented version of GTA, is all about taking over the school of Bullworth Academy, seeking revenge on all the would-be-baddies of the class.

"the Wii version gets some motion-specific mini-games that fit nicely with the subject matter...The Wii version handles the mini-games to near perfection"

Rockstar does edutainment. That's kind of a truism that can be applied to many of the company's higher profile releases; GTA provides commentary about society, trends and stereotypes; Bully: Scholarship Edition, similarly, takes the high school community and turns it into a Lord of the Flies-style microcosm, full of insights into being a teenager, hidden behind humour and gameplay.
