Despite being announced many moons ago and with a barrage of controversy in the press, Rockstar has since been quietly getting on with the job at hand – so much so that the game is almost complete and scheduled for release in October.
“Finally Bully can speak for itself. People can look at the game and see what it is and what it’s not,” Rockstar spokesman Rodney Walker told Reuters.
The game stars Jimmy Hopkins, a fictional teenage student of Bullworth Academy. Rather than taking the role of the bully, you will play as Jimmy and must go about your daily school routine whilst defending yourself from the bullies using a range of weapons and pranks. Unlike Rockstar’s famously violent titles GTA and Manhunt, Bully’s fights won’t feature any blood or deaths. Other character stereotypes such as geeks and jocks will also appear.
Other news is that Bully has become a PlayStation 2 exclusive, the Xbox version seemingly unable to cope with the harsh words the PS2 was slinging its way.
