Canis Canem Edit (Bully) Review

If Canis Canem Edit (Bully) has proven anything it’s that controversy drives the media. Does it promote school violence? Is Rockstar the spawn of the devil? The answer, pleasingly for Rockstar, is a resounding positive in all respects (except they aren’t the spawn of the devil). Bully is a great game.

You take on Jimmy Hopkins, a teenage boy who is dropped off at Bullworth Academy by his rather horrible mother and her rich new husband before jetting off on a one year honeymoon (alright for some). Jimmy is plunged into one of the roughest private schooling institutions in the country, a more adult version of Hogwarts academy. But Jimmy ain’t no Harry Potter. He’s a mean looking misfit, the human equivalent of a pitbull terrier. Jimmy quickly realises he doesn’t really suit Bullworth Academy and so begins a 20 hour journey through the eyes of a teenager trying to put the world to rights.
