Disclaimer! I didn't finish Bully, or come to that, any Rockstar game until Red Dead Redemption. Playing Bully reminded me why; no checkpoints, quests available at certain times, curfews...failure in Bully can mean replaying a big chunk of game just to get the chance to restart the mission. And of course, it's a four year old port of a six year old game. And the voice acting seemed a bit cheesy when I started...
And yet, I enjoyed Bully. When I spent hours trying to describe what I enjoyed about it to a friend, he replied with the far more succinct "Yeah. It's fun". And that fun can go a long way to overlooking it's shortcomings. A bit of a curio rather than an essential purchase, but if the long mooted sequel materialises I'll be very interested.
6.5/10
