Bully: Scholarship Edition, worth a buy?

[Korten12]

It's on sale on steam for like $4, and I was wondering if it's worth a buy.

 

[RhanathShadowhand]

It totally is. You'll have a blast! Just buy it! If you can, you can even gift one for me ;D Finished it around like 6 times or so.

From what I played of it way back when, it's a really fun game. I might even have to get it at that price.....

 

[jawakiller]

For 4 bucks, definitely worth it. The port is a little shitty but overall, not bad.

I, too, say that it is worth every dollar (or pound if you're me and British). It's great fun, nice and varied, and has some wonderful ideas spread around.

Also, hell, it's just $4. Seems worth the risk.

Is it any different from the original PS2 version? Any extras?

 

[RhanathShadowhand]

Lotsa extras. Extra missions, extra lessons, hell even extra outfits and characters!

EDIT: Also improved graphics.

I loved Bully. Good times. If Scholarship adds more of the same, then yeah $4 well spent.

 

[RhanathShadowhand]

$4? That's an absolute steal!
I'd recommend the original PS2 version but this works to, if you have ANY sense of humor you will love this game.

Why would you recommend the original edition? Trust me, Scholarship Edition doesn't take anything from the game, but adds more to it, therefore bring you more fun and a longer gameplay(without boring you).

Bully is easily Rockstar's most underrated IP (alright to be fair I don't know if I could name ALL their IP's)

$4 is easily worth it, I paid almost 10 times that when it first came out and still got my moneys worth out of it.

I didn't mean pre-Scholarship, i meant the console version.

Afaik, there's no "Scholarship Edition" for PS2. When it first came out, it was for PS2 and PS2 only. But then there came Scholarship Edition, for X360, PC and Wii. So yes, when you recommend "Original PS2 version", you recommend "pre-Scholarship".

But no reason to fight, unless one of us thinks Bully is a bad game.

 

[Roofstone]

Yes yes yes! Eternally yes! <3

I've had great fun with this game since it came out. It is great fun.

I can see why he would, Bully is a crappy port, I assume it wouldn't be so clunky on its native platform. It isn't a horrible port by anymeans it isn't Saints Row 2, or even Dead Space, but is sure isn't slick. You will want to remap most of the keys, but at least you can remap them (even if the UI isn't the most intuitive).

One can always play it with X360 controller (or with any generic usb gamepad with x360 gamepad emu like I did) and have no problems at all. I accept the fact that the keyboard binds are fucked up but hey, at least you can map them or use x360 controller!

 

[Scrustle]

The graphics may not stand up against other current gen games being a port of a PS2 game, but it's easily worth that price. It's easily worth double that price! Go for it!

Who's fighting? I had just assumed the "Scholarship Edition" had been for PS2 as well.

And I certainly do think Bully was an excellent game. Remember all that phony controversy over the title? It was a simpler time when we thought that turning our kids into Bullies was the worst video-games could do.

They named it Canis Canem Edit later (which meant Dog eat dog). Didn't do much, so what it's called Bully? Grand Theft Auto is far worse but noone did anything against that name. If everyone was open-minded, world would be a lot better place.
