Preview: Bully
Bad Education
The schoolyard setting means you won't have an entire city at your free-roaming disposal, but all manner of personalities around the school will give you missions to get you on their good side, from grabbing property to administering all manner of physical punishment.
"The next time I have to come in here, I'm crackin' skulls!"
Who hasn't wanted to sneak around their school after dark, getting into all the places you're not supposed to? Sure, it looks like little Jimmy's going to carve out his own gray area depending on your actions, and he might well turn out to be more bully himself than underdog champion, but we'll just have to wait for more details on the particular missions, sizable campus, and socializing elements to see how much freedom you'll really have in that respect. We know that there's a nearby town, with shops and a paper route to be worked for cash, but Rockstar is keeping any further details under wraps at the moment.
Early glimpses suggest that most shenanigans come about as retaliation rather than senseless mischief--stolen property is stolen back for friends, and brutal wedgies avenged in kind--so maybe Jimmy's not the bad seed that self-appointed media watchdogs would have you believe.
Over-the-head action denotes an atomic wedgie
As Jimmy himself says in the trailer, "This place is full of bullies and maniacs!" Still, Jimmy's more prankster than gangsta, and no hookers are getting run over by drive-by-mobiles, so one wonders if this game might not turn out to be a bit tame for some.
