It’s not about how school actually was it’s a slightly fantastical alternate reality where bullies always get their just desserts, or where posh kids get their houses egged for being dicks. It’s a charmingly subdued American town that feels to scale, although the academy itself looks oddly like a British boarding school.īully is a funny game. Unlike GTA, Bullworth isn’t a condensed replica of a real place. The game is set inside the school’s campus and the surrounding fictional town of Bullworth in New Hampshire. The academy’s crest says canis canem edit – basically, dog eat dog. You play young Jimmy Hopkins, abandoned at the gates of Bullworth Academy by his uninterested mother, and forced to fit into this school of clashing subcultures and total maniacs. It may not be Rockstar’s best game, but the choice of setting and array of characters makes it the most memorable. It’s a bit like GTA but set in a school, in the way that Red Dead is like GTA set in the Wild West: the basic principles of exploring an open-world and hitting mission markers are there, but Bully very much has its own tone. In Bully, which came to Xbox 360 in 2008 as an enhanced edition of the 2006 PS2 game, Rockstar finally got to show off how capable it was at making good-hearted underdogs.
