Bully: Scholarship Edition Xbox 360 reviews


So, Bully: Scholarship Edition has been released, the 360 version of the PS2 title. If you would like to share your opinion on this game, and what you liked/disliked about it, please vote in the poll and comment below after you've had enough of a play to judge it.

A 10 should only be given for a landmark game that sets new rules, a 9 for a truly excellent game without a fundamental flaw, and an average game that does things right but nothing special should get a 5 (not a 7 like some reviews would have you believe).

Re: Bully: Scholarship Edition Xbox 360 reviews

Got this game and have been playing for a few days and I think this is quite good. Its a good teaser for the upcoming GTA4. I gave the game a 7/10 due to the occasional lockups that we encountered. Though saying that, the further you go in the game the less it seems to happen.

I have never played the older xbox or ps2 versions of this game so I cant comment on any content/mission differences but I would def recommend spending £29.99 on this if you have never played the older versions before.

Re: Bully: Scholarship Edition Xbox 360 reviews

Too early for me to confirm my vote, but I think I'm heading towards a 7. And I agree that for less than £30 it is definitely worth a purchase.

Re: Bully: Scholarship Edition Xbox 360 reviews

7 from me - it would be an 8 but the lock-ups are a pain and I've had a few now. Plus my Jimmy often turns up without any shoes on, I don't know quite what he does with them as I definitely remember giving him shoes!

This is timed perfectly for me, just whets the appetite for the proper game at the end of April

Re: Bully: Scholarship Edition Xbox 360 reviews

gave it an 8.

bad points are the slow and plentiful load times, really started to get grinding towards the end.

He usually loses his shoes when he falls asleep outside and gets robbed!

Re: Bully: Scholarship Edition Xbox 360 reviews

I gave this a 8/10.

Thought it was a cracking little game that made a nice change from the typical FPS that are being churned out.

Took the time to play this to 100%. When I initally read the review I thought what was the point of the game?
After reading some reviews and having some trade in credit I thought I'd give it a go and I'm glad I did.

Its a fun game to play through with lots of cool little side tasks from go-kart racing to boxing etc..

The key issues with the game for me are that its a little simple and not very challenging and the loading times are just too frequent.

Well worth a purchase particularly at £24.99 from GameStation, a great little build up to GTA IV

Re: Bully: Scholarship Edition Xbox 360 reviews

This game received a lot of bad press purely because of the title, when this game couldn’t be further from the controversy, wonderful game with some excellent ideas, and so different from the usual stuff being churned out deserves to have been amore of a hit, hopefully they will decide on a follow up.

8/10

Re: Bully: Scholarship Edition Xbox 360 reviews

an old game,

but only just finally got round to playing it.

Despite the few lockups that had me panicking thinking my 360 was about to rrod on me on restart, thoroughly enjoyed the game. One of those rare few games that make me actually want to try and find every single hidden extra

Must admit tho I was a Skool Daze/Back To School game worshipper back in the day, so a lot of the fun was just having the retro memories of going back to them
