Is Bully: Scholarship Edition (360) worth buying if I have the PS2 version already?

Now, from what I could tell by watching a speedrun of it the colors look a little washed out compared to the PS2 version, or at least that's how it looks to me. So yeah in case you can't tell I'm not fond of how it looks, and I don't care about achievements, but the PS2 version feels awfully short whenever I replay it so I do wonder if the extra content is worth wasting money on.

All I know about it other than that is that it has extra stuff, like new classes, new costumes, some extra missions, etc. Are the new classes fun to play? What about missions, the PS2 version does feel a little empty without anything to really do during Winter time, are the new missions fun to play? Does the Scholarship Edition add anything new to the plot or at least have more interesting subplots? One of my favorite things about this game was meeting wacky new characters during my adventures, if I get to meet more I just might be suckered into buying it anyway regardless of what is said here, but it would certainly help to know in advance what I'm getting so as not to be disappointed later.

Scholarship Edition also adds local multiplayer. No idea what that's like, though.

That'd be all well and groovy if I cared about multiplayer. Hell now I actually kinda want to get it just to convince my brother to try the muliplayer with me. But other than multiplayer, does the port add anything substantial enough to be worth playing over the PS2 version?

There are 3 (or 4?) new classes, a shitload of new clothing (I mean a fuck ton) some new collectibles, I think 12 new missions (Some story, some of those random blue side quests) and the obvious graphical overhaul.

I was a massive fan of it on the PS2, and the 360 version was well worth the purchase. The new classes were quite fun (and some challenging, like meeting the timings in Biology) and the new clothing items were actually pretty good. I can't really remember the new missions but they did add some length. I would have been happy if it was just the graphical overhaul, Bully on PS2 is fuck ugly now. Playing it again with just a few graphic touch ups brang back all the memories.

I'm the exact opposite when it comes to graphics for this game, haha. The PS2 version is bright and colorful, and because of this while Jimmy's life kinda sucks at the start of the game his surroundings still have this whimsical appearance about them. The HD version LOOKS nice but from the last time I looked at it it felt like a lot of the color and life was sucked outta everything and it just looked duller in my opinion. I'm sure I'd get used to it eventually, I've gotten used to uglier for sure, but from what you say it does sound like a worthy addition to my 360 collection despite its lifelessness.
