    Bully a PS2 classic on Wii with extra stuff

    Bully finally made it's way to the Wii if you did play the PS2 version of this classic game Canim Canis Edit your getting the same game with extras added to the game with a whole different control system. You would of never thought that Nintendo would license a game like this to be on there system but they did which is just brilliant.

    Extras included in Bully Scholarship edition is eight new missions, four new school classes which are biology, music, math and geography, additional characters, new unlockable items and clothing there is also games for 2 players which i have not tried as i don't use my Wii for 2 players.

    Now you know the extras let me tell you about the story. You play as Jimmy Hopkins a boy which is rude and can be nasty. Jimmy's mother is getting sick of him and his step father not liking him send Jimmy to a boarding school called Bullworth Academy. Jimmy's mother and stepfather leave him there while they go on a holiday for a year. As soon as you enter the school you meet the head of the school who gives a Jimmy a good old talk.

    Bully has different people in the game you will meet and help Jocks they are sport type of guys cocky and will try and fight you, Nerds scared and most times will need Jimmy's help, Greasers they are a bit silly and full of themselves, Preppies these do boxing and are posh and will turn on you quickly, Townies you will meet these near the end of the game horrible people and scruffy and will start you for no reason oh yeah they don't go to school, Prefects these will try to send you to class and if you fight they will take you out which they send you to bed they spend there time looking around for people doing wrong stuff, Police these will send you back to school or send you to the police station for nicking off or if you hit any people they will come after you etc.

    The game features little games in bully you can go on arcade machines and play racing, you go in the carnival and play on some of the rides like the roller coaster, go karts, shooting targets there's a few more to and it has a freak show in the carnival too and a fun house which you will be only to play during one mission.

    The game has weapons as you will find baseball bats, eggs, slingshot you may find others. It has transportation a school bus, Scooters (though the cops will catch you without a helmet, bikes, skateboard.

    As for the map it's the same as the PS2 version and for the Wii this is fantastic and the game looks great on the system better graphics i recommend people to get the Wii version over the 360 version due to many faults. The Wii version plays good and not once had a problem with the game yet.

    Now let me talk about the new classes in the game Biology will see you cutting into a frog, fish and others. Music will see you making music of course. Math will see you adding, taking away, multiplying, objects on what is faster, slower. Geography which i hate you have to get the flags and put them in the right place if you mess up it will take 5 seconds off your time limit.  The added missions are really good as you see a drunk Santa and will help him this means stealing stuff from another Santa and you get Santa's little helpers chasing you along with dogs. 

    The Wii control system does work very well with this game and does a fantastic job when it comes to doing boxing because it works more better then Wii Sports boxing and it's more enjoyable. It is great that the Wii control system has been worked on so well I have not noticed anything bad about it even with the classes it does great and makes mini games much easier then the PS2 version.

    Bully is an easy game I finished the PS2 version in a few days but this game does keep you hooked to it and you will even come back to play it again because it is just that fun.

    Bully is just like Grand Theft Auto just without the guns and puts you in a kids position which is really fun to see. If you only own the Wii this is the closest game of Grand Theft Auto you will come across. Rockstar games is one of the best games company's there is which proves it with this game this is a pure classic gem. The Wii version is the best you will find of this game. I am not going to go to in depth of the story as i don't want to spoil it for the people who have not play the game but check it out and enjoy it.

      Imagine you are a thug, who gets expelled from nearly every school you went to,your Mother runs off and marries some random guy for his money and then ditches you at the lousiest boarding school on the face of Earth. Now you're in the shoes of the games protagonist, Jimmy Hopkins.Bully is a game that feels like a Grand Theft Auto game at heart, but it has a couple of things you may or may not like. The Wii controls take some time to learn, but when you do it comes so natural you don't even notic...

      Yet another excellent open-ended action title by Rockstar 0

      Rockstar is the king of the hill when it comes to the open-ended action game, and Bully is yet another jewel in that crown. It is an excellent game, and one of the few great third party games on the Wii. It isn't quite as ambitious or addictive as Rockstar's flagship Grand Theft Auto series, but it is every bit as inventive and funny. Bully deserves to be mentioned in the same vein as the PS2 era GTA games, but perhaps one notch below. Some issues such as subpar graphics, minor control issues, a...
