Fri, 20 Oct 2006 - The first round of press reaction is in and Bully has received glowing marks all around.
1UP.com - 10/10 Perfect Score - “Genius”
“…there’s a good chance Bully will still be enjoyable five or ten years from now. It might even achieve that most elusive of game descriptors: timeless… The best games - games like Bully… push headlong into new places and new ideas, leaving behind the ranks of unimaginative, spit-polished safe bets. Bully takes chances, and the gamble pays off big.”
Gamespy.com - Editor’s Choice - “One of The Year’s Best”
“An elegantly-laid free-roaming title from one of the industry’s best.”
GamePro.com - Editor’s Choice - “A Lesson You Can’t Afford To Miss”
“As Bully progresses and Jimmy finds himself enmeshed in his struggle to survive, the game blossoms, and players will find themselves desperate to see what happens next… Ring the bell because Bully’s ready to give you a lesson you can’t afford to miss.”
IGN.com - Editor’s Choice - “One of the Best Plots of the Season”
“Bully is easily one of the funniest PlayStation 2 titles we’ve ever seen and is one of the few pieces of software out there than can legitimately be called a “comedy.” …a seriously poignant story with great dialogue and strong characters… a great, well-crafted action game… dozens and dozens of hours of fun… Rockstar has put together one of the best stories of the year, which works because of great characters and a biting sense of sarcastic humor that you won’t find elsewhere.”
Bully is in stores now for PlayStation 2 computer entertainment system.
