New York, NY - July 19, 2007 - Rockstar Games is proud to announce that Bully: Scholarship Edition is coming to the Xbox 360™ video game and entertainment system from Microsoft and the Wii™ home video game system from Nintendo this Winter.
Both the Wii and Xbox 360 versions will retain the wit and deep gameplay of the previously released PlayStation®2 computer entertainment system title and will boast additional new content. 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. Capturing the hilarity and awkwardness of adolescence perfectly, Bully: Scholarship Edition pulls the player into its cinematic and engrossing world. Universally acclaimed upon first release, Bully: Scholarship Edition is a genre-crossing action game with a warmth and pathos that is unrivaled.
Bully received a perfect “10/10? from Electronic Gaming Monthly and 1up.com and was heralded as “a great, well-crafted action game that has one of the best senses of humor around” by IGN.com. USA Today called it “a fantastic debut title by Rockstar Vancouver.” The San Francisco Chronicle wrote “Bully has no shortage of creative energy, offering an immersive boarding school experience that is imaginative, funny and filled with surprises.”
Come and explore the zealous joy, mirth, and torment of youth with Jimmy Hopkins and Bully: Scholarship Edition when enrollment commences this Winter.

Yet another example of all this poor 3rd party support for Wii, I guess Ian was right.

First Manhunt, then Table Tennis, now this?
Rockstar may port over GTA4 yet.

It'll probably come, Uncle Bob makes a good point that with Manhunt 2 on the shelf for the mo, they need to fill it with other stuff. Ports are the best way to do this in a short time. Since The Warriors is the only big one left after these besides GTA, I wouldn't be suprised if it shows up. Heck, I wouldn't be suprised if they try to port the ports of the PSP versions of the GTA games to make a little more money.

Based on the Manhunt and Table Tennis ports, I really doubt Rockstar is going about this half-assedly. We'll see though. I wouldn't be surprised if a GTA "Stories" game arrives on Wii. Personally, I don't want them to port GTA IV since it wouldn't play well, or would look terrible.

QuoteI was right!
In fact, my development tastes are actually closer to the things that they create instead of Nintendo, I'm more likely to design a Rockstar Game than a Miyamoto title
Also, GTA is begging for Wii control. From what little I've played of the franchise, the controls in general are just atrocious.

I think both versions should be 29.99 but because of the "current gen" mark up with the 360/PS3 39.99 for 360 version max.

The Wii version runs fine. I got it.
Impressions and review plz

Anyone pick this up? I hear the 360 version locks up frequently
I got it for the 360. Luckily I haven't experienced any lock-ups (i played through the "Halloween" missions yesterday, which seem to be an area of trouble for a lot of people and made it through without any freezes. BUT - there are plenty of audio drop-outs, framerate dips and stuttering. I hear the Wii version runs smoothly and glitch-free. If I had known that before opening the game, I would have taken it back to the store and exchanged it for the Wii version. I've trained myself to save frequently (every time I finish a mission), just in case.
How are the Wii controls?
Impressions and review plz
While I can't comment on the Wii version specifically (obviously), I will say that this game is very entertaining. The dialog is well written and most of the missions are quite fun. If you had never played Bully on the PS2 like me, I'd say it's definitely worth checking-out.

Am I the only nerd that's too riddled with grade school-induced neuroses to pick up this game?
Ah, but you can turn the tables and fight back in this game! Plus you can go around harassing and beating innocent students.

I got this and have been playing through. I don't normally like most Rockstars games but this has been decent so far. The controls seem overly complicated.
This game is great, all peoples should own.

I bought this game a long time ago, at your suggestion, but my plate was full with other games so i gave it (and boom blox!) to my gf for her to play. She enjoyed it, but she's not playing her wii much any more. There was one night where she brought it over and I got to play it, and i agree.. the controls do seem overly complicated. I think i still prefer Scarface over Godfather and Bully in the "sand-lot" games wii has so far. Maybe i should get Bully back and put more than a few hours into it though, that might change my opinion.
Oh who am i kidding, i don't have time for games! haha

Bully isn't really that much of a sandbox game. I played it linearly and just enjoyed the story line. However there is a great paper boy mini game. I don't recall overly complex controls as at all sorry. Scarface can suck my...
BALLS!? Tony got no problem saying the world BALLS man, no need to hide it.

I really like this persistent modern world. Part of me wishes that they had limited Bully to just the campus and made the game denser.
Isn't this game great? I loved this game. One that will give me a classic nostalgic feel.
