I can't believe it, I already played the game on the PS2 so I won't be getting it but that's one game I never thought would see PC harddrives.

It's a good game so those without a PS2, Wii or 360 should definitely be excited.

I can't wait, it's the Xbox 360 one with the extra content. I never played it on the PS2 but will be checking for this for sure. I wonder if The Warriors will ever make it to the PC? I heard that was a pretty decent game.

I ran into my sister the other day at the beach and she was describing the game to me. I had never heard of it before. I had no idea Rockstar made this. It looks crazy funny. Will buy. Should be on steam. Score.

I read the 360 version has some issues such as framerate drops and game freezes. Not sure if they were patched up but hopefully the pc version will be optimized and run at a high fps. Seems like a fun game.

Its like GTA but instead of a cold killer you are a highschool student and instead of a whole city theres a small town with a large boarding school present in it. Also like GTA theres missions and a good story to boot, the villian in the game is great its a shame he dosent get more screentime. You can beat up nerds/preppies/jocks/bullies/greasers/townies, the story takes you through all these groups anyways. All cliques have a leader and they all play parts in the storyline, the bullies leader is the first one you come across, RUSSEL LIKE SMASH!! Also theres classes to go to, these are optional mini games that you dont need to do but they can help out quite a lot, if a prefect catches you out of class you will be dragged to class assuming he catches you.

Funnily enough despite the title you arent actually a bully, or you can bully if you want its optional (and very satisfying) but the storyline says your a good guy. A lot like in GTA 4 where you can take down a few hundred police officers/civilians but in the end your portrayed as good guy who cares about his family.

So to summarize its GTA but in a different setting with tamer abilities, its easier too, although i found myself pausing the game and using google maps to pass some geography lessons :p and some other classes i totally fail at but whatever lol.

Yeah it's a great game but it's not really like a GTA game downscaled like Soviet's post make it seem to be, the gameplay is different, it's not GTA for dummies. Apart from that his description is fairly accurate, just don't expect GTA in a school setting :p I know some people who made a mistake in thinking Bully would play like GTA and ended not liking the game as a result.

Very surprised they are bringing this over. It came out in Oct 06 so 2 years between releases is quite a long time graphically speaking. You know what's next right? Since everyone with an xbox or PS2 played the game already, PC sales will be pretty low and they'll say it's all because of piracy and not because, oh, it's a 2 year old game already released on major consoles?

I don't think sales will be that bad, I'm sure they'll sell more than enough to make a profit and Rockstar is usually not one to bitch about piracy, I'm sure Rockstar knows Bully on PC won't sell a whole lot but they know it will sell enough to make it a viable release financially.

Just a bump..Bully is now on Steam for those who prefer that service. 30 bucks.

Now if only it could be credited to those Steam users who already bought the Rockstar game pack! :)

Cool. If abit late. I bought for PS2 but the load times were so horrible that I shelved it. When it came out for the 360 I bought it again, and finally finished it. Load times were still horrible but not nearly as bad as the PS2s.

Played great off a PS2 hard drive :)

Game is a fun GTA-type sandbox. Not sure if it's quite worth $30... $20 would be a bit more appropriate since it's an older title.
