The graphics appear to have been touched up somewhat since the PS2 version, and fit well on the Wii. On the other hand, the main missions are extremely varied, and stay entertaining right through to the end - something that happens all too rarely in video games. However, some of the gameplay mechanics get a little tiresome after a while, such as the series of boxing missions you do at one point, and can become a bit of a chore. You can fight people, intimidate them, beg them for mercy, or even - gasp - try and be friendly.ĭepending on your actions, and the missions you play, you'll oscillate in and out of favour with the various social groups. Even beyond the numerous and varied missions, it's easier to occupy yourself simply with running around the grounds of Bullworth academy. That's not to say the core gameplay isn't a lot of fun. These mini-games are good fun, and provide a welcome distraction from the core gameplay.
Music has you playing a simple rhythm of sorts, while biology has you carving up animal specimens. Each of the classes (including four new ones) involves playing through increasingly difficult mini-games that take advantage of the Wii's motion controls, generally to good effect.Ĭhemistry starts off with some easy onscreen prompts telling you to rotate the remote or shake the nunchuck, but quickly ramps up into something more difficult.
The gameplay aspects of Bully are almost as well presented, although a few aspects do undermine things a bit. The whole thing feels wonderfully thought out and cohesive, and is brought to life by a generally excellent script and voice actors. With its well-implemented time cycle (both day/night and seasonal), you'll need to juggle attending classes with navigating through the dense collection of stereotypical college groups, from nerds and greasers to jocks and prep boys. Very quickly, you'll be shown around the various locales, groups, and rules. Its setting is the most obvious one - you play the role of a troubled kid, dumped by ungrateful parents at the gates of Bullworth Academy, a school that's hardly an esteemed centre of learning. There are several major things going for this game. However, if you never finished it off, or haven't gotten round to trying it out at all, then Bully: Scholarship Edition on the Wii is one of the more fun games on the system, and definitely worth checking out.
