Editorial Review:Amazon.co.uk Review::In a nutshell: The game previously known as Bully is Rockstar's most controversial title yet - despite the fact that almost everything that's been written about it in the tabloids is wrong. You play the bullied not the bully in a cleverly observed pastiche of school life.
The lowdown: Although this bares comparison to both Grand Theft Auto (in terms of the large freeform world and highly interactive environments) and The Warriors (the combat system is nearly identical) this is very different to Rockstar's other games. Although you are supposed to attended lessons each day (doing well gives you new abilities and items) you're free to explore Bulworth Academy at leisure with a wide range of missions from raiding the girl's dormitory and fetching transistors for the local tramp to protecting nerds from bullies. In fact that the whole game is about surviving the school experience and making friends and ironically has a far more moral point to make than any of Rockstar's previous titles.
Most exciting moment: Although you can get into fist fights with other students there's never any blood shed, just the odd pulled ear or Chinese burn. There are plenty of other school yard pranks you can pull of though with the judicious use of catapults, stink bombs and cherry bombs. You can also make out with girls (or boys if you so desire) if you can find a way to get on their good side.
Since you ask: There have been numerous calls for the game to be banned in both the U.S. and UK, although tellingly all such calls were made long before the game was even previewed and were based solely on the name. The final product is only rated 15+ and features only mild amounts of violence.
The bottom line:One of the most original games for years and far more wholesome than its reputation suggests.-

i bought got this game for my birthday and i can just put it one way! a+!! the idea of a grand theft auto like game but is set in a school is unique. the only downside to this game is the length. it features 6 chapters which i can say is not enough and they arnt that long but still five star game! i reccomend this game to everyone who likes the gta series

I adore this game, it keeps me totally entertained for hours on end. Regardless of whether you have or haven't played any Rockstar games before, you will most likely enjoy this, because as you can see the majority of reviews have given it three stars or above. This is certainly one of my favourite games on the ps2, brilliant.

Any older gamers who grew up playing the humble spectrum 48k will no doubt remember the classic Skool Daze. It was one of my faves and a game I still play thanks to PC emulation software.
If, like me, you were a fan of Skool Daze, then you will love this.
It's worth noting that the fuss generated by this game was the usual right wing press reaction to something they had only heard rumours about. Even the 15 cert is a bit harsh as there is no bad language and the violence ...
