WELCOME TO BULLWORTH! Tired of playing Harry Potter, pick up your controller and play Bully. Bully takes gaming to a whole different level as you play as Jimmy Hopkins, a kid left at Bullworth Academy by his mother and step father. He soon realizes that upon his arrival, he sparked a chain of events that would lead him through the very strange town of Bullworth, New England (FICTIONAL). With an assortment of mini-games, such as classes, arcade games, and side missions that could earn you money or respect; missions that bring you through Bullworth Academy and the town of; and interactions with characters that could make you friends or enemies. You will be able to go through regular classes and get and interim report after every class. If you fail, you can do that assignment over again. Bully also includes many different weapons including, Slingshot, stink bombs, marbles used for tripping people, and itching powder which is fairly self explanatory. The game follows a storyline going from Jimmy's first day to last and the fights, riddles, and problems Jimmy may face. Bully also has a behavior system which includes a trouble meter. The trouble meter is separated into 4 to 5 lines, the first two lines are mild to medium trouble, the other two to three lines are High trouble. If you are in the first few lines, you will get caught by the prefects (hall monitors) or teachers, you will be able to get away. If you are in the higher trouble sections, it is troublesome to get away usually leading to inevitable capture and being taken to the principals office. Different infractions judge your the principal's action taken. You may get detention. Depending on the season, you will either have to Shovel snow or mow the lawn in front of "Harrington House." Besides the many different Age and style groups Bullworth has to offer, the adventure and side missions are what really make the game. Whether you want to go to the Billy Cranes travel-ling Circus and ride the rides, or just take a swim in the lake around Bullworth, the adventure, scenery and environment make this game worth every penny, no bull!
