Rockstar Games is proud to announce that Bully: Scholarship Edition is coming to the Xbox 360 video game and entertainment system from Microsoft and the Wii home video game system from Nintendo this Winter.
Both the Wii and Xbox 360 versions will retain the wit and deep gameplay of the previously released PlayStation ®2 computer entertainment system title and will boast additional new content. Bully: Scholarship Edition takes place in the fictional New England boarding school of Bullworth Academy, and tells the story of 15-year-old Jimmy Hopkins as he experiences the highs and lows of adjusting to a new school. Capturing the hilarity and awkwardness of adolescence perfectly, Bully: Scholarship Edition pulls the player into its cinematic and engrossing world. Universally acclaimed upon first release, Bully: Scholarship Edition is a genre-crossing action game with a warmth and pathos that is unrivaled.
Bully received a perfect "10/10" from Electronic Gaming Monthly and 1up.com and was heralded as "a great, well-crafted action game that has one of the best senses of humor around" by IGN.com. USA Today called it "a fantastic debut title by Rockstar Vancouver." The San Francisco Chronicle wrote "Bully has no shortage of creative energy, offering an immersive boarding school experience that is imaginative, funny and filled with surprises."
Come and explore the zealous joy, mirth, and torment of youth with Jimmy Hopkins and Bully: Scholarship Edition when enrollment commences this fall.

Bully's Commendations Continue
EGM - GAME OF THE MONTH
"It's amazing how well Bully nails a huge assortment of activities. Everything, from midway games to English class, is fun. Hell, just goofing around town - skateboarding, egging cars, and tearing around corners in your go-kart - feels great."
G4 TV - 5/5 (PERFECT SCORE) "BECAUSE IT'S A HELL OF A LOTTA FUN TO PLAY"
"The mini-games on your syllabus are addictive and brimming with variety. Who doesn't wanna peg a jock in the face with a dodgeball? Plus Bully's student body is fully staffed with impeccable voice acting... The level of detail and attention to character is staggering."
OPM - "AN EXCELLENT ANTITOTE FOR THE BORED OF EDUCATION"
"One of my favorite things about the game is the dialogue, which is incredibly well written and funny... And all of the dialogue is strengthened by the excellent voice acting."

Bully - First Reviews Are In
The first round of press reaction is in and Bully has received glowing marks all around.
1UP.com - 10/10 Perfect Score - "Genius"
"there's a good chance Bully will still be enjoyable five or ten years from now. It might even achieve that most elusive of game descriptors: timeless... The best games, games like Bully... push headlong into new places and new ideas, leaving behind the ranks of unimaginative, spit-polished safe bets. Bully takes chances, and the gamble pays off big."
Gamespy.com - Editor's Choice - "One of The Year's Best"
"An elegantly-laid free-roaming title from one of the industry's best."
GamePro.com - Editor's Choice - "A Lesson You Can't Afford To Miss"
"As Bully progresses and Jimmy finds himself enmeshed in his struggle to survive, the game blossoms, and players will find themselves desperate to see what happens next... Ring the bell because Bully's ready to give you a lesson you can't afford to miss."
IGN.com - Editor's Choice - "One of the Best Plots of the Season"
"Bully is easily one of the funniest PlayStation 2 titles we've ever seen and is one of the few pieces of software out there than can legitimately be called a "comedy." ...a seriously poignant story with great dialogue and strong characters... a great, well-crafted action game... dozens and dozens of hours of fun... Rockstar has put together one of the best stories of the year, which works because of great characters and a biting sense of sarcastic humor that you won't find elsewhere."
