“Bully" tells adolescent angst how it really is. And, that "Bully" isn't all about bullying, or even fighting.
The game's ending depends on how you, the player, pilot your 15-year old character, Jimmy, through his first year at the unfriendly Bullworth Academy prep school.
...unlike “Grand Theft Auto,” where you can mow down pedestrians in your stolen car, wedgies and baseball bats are the best ways to take down your enemies in “Bully.”
Will a 15 year-old who plays “Bully” act out what he sees onscreen?
Rockstar (Bully's manufacturer) changed the name of the game in Europe to “Canis Canem Edit,” or “Dog Eat Dog” in Latin. Despite this apparent attempt at appeasement, the game was given a 15 certificate, meant to ban its sale to minors under the age of 15. And British retailers Currys and PC World opted not to stock the game.
