Prepare to be Bully'ied this March

Flying low enough to escape our radar, Rockstar recently revealed that the once scheduled for release last Winter Bully: Scholarship Edition will now be hitting retail shelves on March 4th (March 7th for the UK) and will come packed with new content not seen in the original PS2 version. New content like eight new missions, four new classes (biology, music, math and geography), two offline multiplayer mini-games, additional unlockable items and awards. So, if you've had PS2 Bully envy for a while now, then it's looking like your wait was well worth it as the 360 version will be far superior. And the game's $49 retail price tag shouldn't hurt either.

Er, no... it's like a mini-GTA set in a school. I played the PS2 version and it was great, looking forward to the 360 version

I played through the ps2 version also and it a very fun game. But this updated version doesn't seem to be enough of a reason for me to play it again. But if you never played it b4, its definitely worth playing.

Eh, it'd have to be cheap for me to get it since I got Bully (or rather Canis Canem Edit) for PS2. That thing was down to £10 after a month or two at some places. I've actually seen this on pre-order under the Bully name which doesn't make sense since there was a big fuss over it here and it had to be changed to the aformentioned CCE. It's listed at the full £39.99 at one place so that needs to come down a lot.

I never got a chance to play it on the PS2 so I'll definitely be picking it up for the 360.

Oh, come on. Rockstar can do better than this. Do they really expect us to be happy lapping up the PS2's sadder scraps? The game flopped on the PS2, and it's going to flop on current gen systems. I know I'm not going to spend fifty bucks on a gay make out simulator.

Do I spot a troll? Was this sarcasm in an attempt to be humourous? I seriously don't know. Anyways keep your negative, not-so-clever comments to yourself.

This game was so good on PS2 I might consider picking it up again on the 360 for the bonus content/graphics/and achievements.

I never got around to playing this on the ps2 but I remember alot of people talking about some homo sexual content and R* saying the game sold so poorly that there would never be a sequal to it.
It surprises me that this game is comming out on 360 at all. If R* was gonna rehash an old generation game on the 360 I would have way rathered it have been the Warriors instead of this game. Poor choices for sure from R* on this one.

I am excitedly looking forward to this game. Since, i never had a PS2, i always wanted to play this game and God of War. So at least one is off the list as ticked. Come on Microsoft...one more to go!

I really enjoyed God of War on the PS2 - in fact that was the last PS2 game I finished!

As much as I'd love to have extra content 49 bucks is too much for a game I already own on the PS2. The classes weren't that hard so thats not worth it.
