.Life at the academy
The story follows Jimmy Hopkins, a teenager who's been expelled
from every school he's ever attended. Left to fend for himself
after his mother abandons him at Bullworth to go on her fifth
honeymoon, Jimmy has a whole year at Bullworth ahead of him,
working his way up the social ladder of this demented institution
of supposed learning, standing up for what he thinks is right and
taking on the liars, cheats and snobs who are the most popular
members of the student body and faculty. If Jimmy can survive the
school year and outsmart his rivals, he could rule the school.
Using the "living sandbox" game style similar to Rockstar's
previous titles, players complete goals and experiment with items
in the game world. A rival may dare you to drop a firecracker
into a toilet or e some sense into the kid who took your
lunch money. Don't spend too much time roaming the halls,
however, as you may actually be punished for skipping out on
important classes. Choices you make outside of school will also
impact how friends and foes in the school view you after you buy
new clothes and sport a new haircut.
Mini games abound
Bullworth Academy pride themselves in rigidly sticking to the
curriculum at all times, to this end consistent truancy will
result in punishment. The esteemed staff of the Academy, though
occasionally questionable in their recreational habits, ensure
that the pupils have a firm grounding in the key academic
subjects. Alongside the strict principals of loyalty, trust and
ruthless ambition that are ingrained in every pupil in the
academy by the principal Dr Crabblesnitch, core subjects include
English, Gym, Shop Class, Photography, Art and Chemistry. Each
subject comprises a series of five tests to be passed with flying
colors. Of course on passing each test a due reward, in the form
of gameplay features will be earned by the player. Bullworth
Academy's educational system is provided through a host of
exciting and innovative mini games lovingly developed by Rockstar
Vancouver to accompany the main storyline of Bully.
Do a double clique
Just like any other crumbling prep school, Bullworth Academy has
its cliques. You'll have to choose whether to side with football
jocks, well-dressed preppies, or try to turn them against each
other while you laugh at the antics with your fellow greasers.
Clique membership becomes even more exciting as your clique rises
to the head of the class- making a name for themselves and
striking fear into the hearts of those who might cross you. Don't
be surprised if some cliques offer up some surprises, as those
bug-eyed nerds just may have the scientific know how to create
weaponry that can keep those bullies at bay.
Ready yourself for a hilarious return to campus living with
Bully, the outrageously funny debut title from Rockstar
Vancouver, available exclusively for PlayStation2 computer
entertainment system.
