Bully: Scholarship Edition announced for Xbox 360 and Wii

Bully PS2 screenshotRockstar Games today announced that Bully: Scholarship Edition is coming to the Xbox 360 and Wii in America this Winter.

Both the Wii and Xbox 360 versions of the action adventure game will stay true to the humor and deep gameplay of the previously released PlayStation 2 Bully game and will include additional new content. Bully: Scholarship Edition takes place in the fictional New England boarding school of Bullworth Academy, and tells the story of 15-year-old Jimmy Hopkins as he experiences the highs and lows of adjusting to a new school. Capturing the hilarity and awkwardness of adolescence perfectly, Bully: Scholarship Edition pulls the player into its cinematic and engrossing world. Bully: Scholarship Edition is a genre-crossing action game with a warmth and pathos that is unrivaled.

Bully received a perfect “10/10” from Electronic Gaming Monthly and 1up.com and was heralded as “a great, well-crafted action game that has one of the best senses of humor around” by IGN.com. USA Today called it “a fantastic debut title by Rockstar Vancouver.” The San Francisco Chronicle wrote “Bully has no shortage of creative energy, offering an immersive boarding school experience that is imaginative, funny and filled with surprises.” Quite the kudos.
