This review is based on Bully: Scholarship Edition being played day one of the new patch that was released on the Xbox 360, and a virgin copy of the game on the Wii. Prior to the patch, problems have been reported of small glitches in the game and other ones including freezing. Since, my time reviewing Bully: Scholarship Edition, I haven't experienced any problems with the game and can not verify any of the issues that gamers have been experiencing.
Rockstar Vancouver has created something special with Bully which continues to find a place in more homes with its re-release. This is my first time attending Bullworth Academy and now that I've spent some times in its endeared halls, I can see why so much hype surrounded the game when it was originally released on the Playstation 2. Bully is a unique experience that feels like that old familiar Rockstar patented gameplay set around a new relatively experience in gaming, high school. In this respect, Bully is like no other game. Its original approach, filled with standard gameplay elements is a real treat."
Rockstar appears to have updated the PC version of Bully: Scholarship Edition, but it wasn't the major improvement many speculated.
Bully: Scholarship Edition was an Xbox 360 & Wii re-release of the PS2 classic. Still playable on modern consoles, it'll make you long for a sequel.
A sequel? More likely a remake as is the current trend? No point, everyone wants GTA VI.
It's a shame that basically all of Rockstar's catalogue apart from GTA and Red Dead is now, well, dead.
The R☆ of today is extremely unlikely to put out any project that isn't GTA because of the gaming climate and because GTA is stupidly self sustaining.
Gone are the days of a mainline title and a portable tie-in/standalone title of the same name just like publishers putting out multiple fighters at once.
Costs are too high and mainline titles have become too gargantuan to allow for "risks" on lesser titles that may not take off or sell.
Take Capcom for example, and SF6. We are unlikely to ever see a new installment of their other fighters like Rival School or Darkstalkers because SF6 is more popular, recognized and costly. A new Darkstalkers in the RE Engine would look sick as f*ck, and would visually be unlike any other fighter if done right. Sadly though, it's not as recognizable as SF and Capcom is unlikely to put so much on the line for something that might not catch.
If there’s to be a sequel it should be at the college/university level. Otherwise its just going to be a rehash of the same progression and story.
Yes, at one point, people really were angry about Night Trap.
Can anyone that owns this on the 360 tell me if they fixed the game??
