Bully Scolarship Edition is one of the best games I've ever played.
@Despacito 2 Yeah, there is a patch called silent patch for Bully on PC that fixes most issues, so make sure to install that. Also, there is a free online multiplayer mod.
same. although that "CANIS CANEM EDIIIT" the headmaster shouts when the game boots up can't be substituted with anything, that's unforgettable.
@Despacito 2 yeah it was fine last time I tried a couple years ago. i have the original on PS2, but the scholarship edition (I played on PC) is better. the main difference is that in the original you tend to finish up the classes fairly early on, and you're left doing story missions and the other stuff (races, odd jobs etc) for the rest, which means it takes forever to get through autumn and then you kind of zoom through winter and spring, which ruins the pacing. the scholarship edition has a couple extra classes and it really does make a huge difference in my opinion
@TrannyNPC #13666 it's backwards compatible on Xbox One
If you have a console I suggest getting on an xbox or ps4 instead the controls are much better then the PC version.
Bully is one of my absolute favorite games. Every time I play it I think I like it more. From the music to the city streets this game feels damn near pitch perfect. When I hear that music I get this wave of nostalgia and I can’t help but smile
I found Earnest ☝️
The only things I think bring it down to like a 9.7 is the frame drops, and the fact that you can't do much of anything to girls as opposed to the boys. It makes sense, but still upsets me
Same. Absolutely same. My favorite game ever to this day. If it's not the best ever made. It is at least my favorite game ever made.
Buying 100 sodas gives you free sodas for the whole game useful af
WAIT WHAT?!
In the game, the easiest way to heal yourself is by drinking soda cans that can be purchased in machines or you can get by other methods.
Once you buy 100 cans in a machine it makes it so all sodas from now onward are free, this was supposedly a secret :)
@@jack91al holy shit!! All these years and i didn't find out about this!? So awesome!!!
@@jack91al You can also go to the store and buy 100 sodas. It's much more efficient than buying from a machine.
Also, after you've bought 500 sodas you'll get a soda hat
@@Skitungen2 really cool! I never knew that.
Jimmy: "hello."
Prefect: "Dont disrespect the prefects!"
*GUN SHOTS*
Can't believe they never made a sequel. This game is a masterpiece. And that soundtrack is legendary
You should listen to Shawn Lee’s stuff! He wrote the music to this game, and he’s a lot of other great music. One of my favorite songs by him is “Kiss the Sky”
They were working on a sequel but scratched it. Some TH-camrs like swegta did a vid about that.
11:49 I literally had a teacher like this in High school... :/ all I said was hello and he had a crack at me
did you throw a firecracker in his face?
Im Not a Weeb I Swear No, no of course not.... ;)
And what did you do in all the days before that to "earn" that reputation? Oh, nothing, of course! People just choose to dislike you for no reason, right?
@@B3Band I've had a couple of teachers like that.. just angry at the world and hate children, yet choose to teach anyways..
@@TommyTom21 is it worth it to taint so many children's perception of the world at such young ages though by making them deal with asshole teachers
we need a Bully 2 !!!!!!
Oliver Oliveric we may be getting it after red dead 2
@@thomaskelly4855 cancelled :(
@@MuhammadAli-fj8qh is there a statement?
@@peter-w well yeah watch NathanNS's Bully 2 playlist latest video but basically to make it short, it was cancelled twice due to the lack of momentum
To this day on bully feels for me as the most immersive game ever, no GTA has ever achived that feel for me, every NPC feels alive and the time to sleep, classes and seasons make it into one of my favorite games of all time.
one of the great ps2 classics. 10/10
I think that one of the reasons it didn't sell that well is because of the box art
When I first saw it, i didn't think that it was an open world game...
I only bought it after seeing it at my friend's house
I thought it was a sport game lol
travos k I never heard of it back in the day.
Its like you fucks never read the back of the case.
Savage _Tv lawl
Really?? I very liked the box art!
It had like a cool high school/boarding school feel to it!
I don't think thats the reason..
When this game came out my parents used to take it off me as punishment now i have my own house and theres still not a new one like tf.
How the fuck do you own your own house already? I also played this game as a kid but it was later on (I'm 20)
How do you have a house at this age?
He took over the local drug business from an mafian
Lmao
he's probably like 15 at the time or something, or really rich lol
This game had the best ai I’ve ever seen of any game
I want that feeling i had as kid when I first bought this game not knowing anything but the word Bully and hoping it was a good game which it was!!! Need a bully 2
Same here, seeing the clip of the school opening it's gates after first year made me "woow, you can go outside?"
That Soundtrack took me back to that december morning Me and my Dad went to the game shop and got Bully Scholarship Edition for my PS2.
The first day of vacation.
Damn! Miss those days
Bully scholarship edition cant be playd at ps2.
Fun Fact: the skateboard is actually the fastest vehicle in the game by using an exploit
no even with that glitch go kart is faster
@@e14ee go-karts not useful in the speed run, it's clunky and you can use the skateboard go hop over certain walls
yeah, that exploit is the main reason why the skateboard isn't crap. when i first played bully, after completing defend bucky, i rided the skateboard but it was tricky because of the controls but once i got the hang of it, i then felt the skateboard is pretty crappy because of the speed and spamming the l-shift button hardly did anything
Skateboard is one of the best thing in this game
Hey what can you say is a "skateboard"
I think when it boils down to it this game to me is the greatest retro rockstar game ever. Nobody else has ever made a school centered game that was a hit like this and it’s still hasn’t happened since
One of the best games I’ve ever played, GTA Online is the reason Rockstar didn’t make Bully 2, Max Payne 4, new Midnight Club or Agent.
Rockstar are making so much money from that garbage. #FuckGTAOnline
Don't hate on the game, i mean I've never played it but it looks cool and seems like it has hours of game.
Mehrad 19 GTA Online isn't bad, but the shark cards and loading times ruined it for me
Travos k it's online segment of GTA V that because take 2 Smellt money in Online and it became their only focus.
I would like to have Bully 2 but i dont know if i want to have jimmy in college or other high school
GTA online sucks there's no accomplishment or anything to Unlock you just buy everything, I did that and it's just empty
"I'm scared of you Hopkins."
Me: You better be.
I remember playing this game 7 years ago on PS2. Good memories. :)
They seriously need to make Bully 2. I replayed Bully like 10 times. I'm a GTA fan but I'm also a huge fan of Bully!
Best video games reviews in all of TH-cam and the games you pick to review are always a top 25 for me at least
bully and gta 4 are my favourite games of all time
Mine 2
@Mitchell Robinson it fit the atomsphere, i kind of liked it they fixed it up a lil in the ballad of gay tony
The RDR SERIES IS BETTER
Same, mine as well
Jesus Christ let him have an opinion
Too bad you didn't review the remake on PC or Xbox 360 because those two versions are the definitive editions of the game. I have not went back to the PS2 version in a long time because of _Scholarship Edition_ and it looks so different from how I remember it. Nonetheless, good review. I agreed with everything that you just said. _Bully_ is a masterpiece and one of Rockstar's most underrated titles right along _Manhunt_ and _Red Dead Revolver_ .
Clayton Luce I like your profile picture after reading this haha. Still I got my self ps2 versio just to have it along xbox360/xboxone
Funny enough, I still have my PS2 version even after moving on to _Scholarship Edition_ haha. I may go back to it on the PS4 just for the heck of getting all the trophies. I did with _Scholarship Edition_ years ago, so I may as well for the original game on PS4 as there are some different trophies than the ones on the Xbox 360 version.
dont forget the weird wii version of bully se
the mobile version is surprisingly good too compared with any GTA on mobile.
Ginanjar Utomo love rockstar on iphone....great time kill.
Awesome game. You should review The Warriors aswell, it's fighting mechanics are similar to Bully, but it's a bit more 'adult'
Yeah, And they are two of the few PS2 games with gameplay and mechanics that are playable (actually great) still today... You hear me GTA3 and Vice City? Hope you do
11:50
Wow, that escalated quickly.
Some things to clear up:
1) The shop classes give you better bikes, which start off as a semi-decent starter bike, to the "Best BMX" from the final/5th class.
2) When your trouble meter is at lvl. 1 or 2, you always have the ability to escape from being busted, but once it goes over lvl 2, then it turns red, and an army of prefects/cops will swarm you and try to bust you. At lvl. 3 (when the bar is red) you are instantly busted once caught.
The soundtrack was soooo perfekt Omg I Love it 😍
And this is why Bully is my favorite game of all time.
I wish they make a Harry Potter game like Bully
Exactly this. Being able to do what you do in Bully with magic would be the greatest game of all time. I would want something like a parody of the Triwizard Tournament, so you can access three different schools who compete with each other during the school year. You could do something similar to Major Payne to turn up the humor and the action. The teachers could give you magical punishments, you could steal secret spells, etc. Rockstar's writing in a world that parodies Harry Potter would be incredible.
Ryan Sansaricq exactly
while nowhere as full as this, Chamber of Secrets PS2 had a rather satisfying open world for the time
someone needs to make a mod for gta v/iv or whatever gta for harry potter. like a full on mod. that would be a lot of time but still
there is actually a game in development that leaked on the internet quite some time ago. Look up "harry potter rpg leak"
You won't get in trouble for not wearing the school uniform at school, the prefects will just mock you for doing that.
That soundtrack is just 🌟 every tune gets stuck in your head effortlessly
The bugs this game had felt like features till ya fall thru the map.
10/10
"Detention only lasts a minute" true until you're tasked with mowing the entire football field, the bane of my childhood gaming years
just bought it on ps4 to renew memories.... thank youuu
One of the rare games where dam near every activity even punishments entertained me. Mowing the lawn was relaxing.
Bully....started it 4 times, never made it out of the school.
Now, the Warriors.
The Warriors was a love letter and a masterpiece. Finished it twice, one time on PSP. Awesome fan service.
You mean you didnt finish the 1sc chapter? Why?
Oh man... playing this game for the first time not knowing anything any anticipation expectations. It was legendary
There is actually an option to turn inverted controls off on the PS2 version
Got this on ps2 and pc,the pc version in 4k with a joypad is obviously the best way to play it,eliminates loading times and fade in plus just looks like a much newer game and also played through the whole thing on a modern windows 10 pc without any issues at all.
Who wants bully 2 instead of gta 6 next?
Fuck that I want both...
@Amber133 Lee I want bully 2 first.
I think we'll all be drawing a pension payment by the time Gta6 gets done. So I'll have Bully 2 please.
Since GTA 6 Clickbaits made me lost hype around GTA maybe Bully 2 will be great
@@zororoa1610 if gta6 is as dark as gta4 I will be pretty hyped.
Imagine GTA VI with Jimmy Hopkins as a protagonist and Tommy Vercetti as antagonist
Bully scholarship edition has the best graphics out any rockstar game up to 2008, not counting gta 4.
For me what makes bully so special is the rpg-ish vibe you get, specially with the highly interactive NPC's, if you do some search you'd find that a lot of content was cut out of the final game simply because of the PS2 limitations, if the game is already a masterpiece as it is, imagine if there were more to it.
I seen lots of referrencing Bully and talk about it.
But you made it different. That looks interesting :D
Happy new year!
Bully is in my top 3 games of all time along with San andreas
Cant wait for Bully 2, and do some Bully Online, school heists with some friends!
"school heists"
6:19
FINISH HIM...

Jimmy Hopkins

HUMILITY
Bully 2 is rumoured to be in development
opli gangaa oooo
They say it every year.
I think it’s happening but I doubt it’ll be as tastefully edgy as it should be. Rockstar have been trying to clean up their image for years
I believe it. they brought back Red Dead Redemption after, what? ten years?
again?
Ugh this game is so nostalgic for me, I used to play this game when I was like 9 and it was so much fun :,)
My approach was taking care of the classes first; later, when I had no class, I was bullish about the missions.
The sumo arcade game was the worst mission in bully spent 1 week to finish it xd
@Uniixian _ Rubie How was is it bad? Sumo Arcade was fun.
Don't try the rifle challenge at the carnival then (there is a trophy for that unfortunately), THAT is a real nightmare because of how bad the camera/aim controls really are (i needed atleast an hour to complete it...)
Bully is like a new school beat em up
Seems like an amazing game
that's because it is
Totally worth your time. I recently completed it one month ago.
It is!!
Bully 2 is coming. There's plenty of leaks around the community, from casting calls to artwork. Hell, a leaker said it would be announced after RDR2, and he was silenced by Rockstar.
I'm pretty sure it's coming out at some point, and it will be great. Rockstar always takes their time.
Damn rockstar didn't have to kill the guy
@@Alphax222
He didn't die lol, they just told him he couldn't leak any more info from them ever again.
Bully: more like my favourite fucking game period
This game looks really cool, I have no idea how it has managed to fly under my radar until now. How does it compare to the Persona series?
I guess this one is more violent. :D
What is _Persona_ like anyway?
Clayton Luce I suppose it’s like a JRPG version of Bully.
Could you go more in depth please? Don't really know much about JRPGs.
I haven't really played Bully yet, but Persona is basically a role playing game that is set in a japanese high school. You are a male student who has transferred to a new school for a year and you have to live out the entire year. You spend your days taking exams, making friends, dating girls and even eating burgers. Each time you hang out with someone, you level up with them, and those levels are transferred to the other half of the game which is a dungeon crawler. In persona 3, you fight in a tower every night to save the world, in persona 4 you try to solve a serial murder case and in persona 5, you try to change the hearts of various people who are abusing their power. Honestly, the writing is incredible and it mostly plays like a visual novel that is broken uo with dungeon crawling elements.
History proved that rockstar made one of greatest game without guns
One thing I always used to want was the second one to be him in college, trying to expose the school for fraud or blackmailing students and to take the money for himself etc. Only for him to be expelled then arrested at the height of his notoriety within the school or town and having to make new connections on the inside with experienced inmates. After all friends and connections essentially abandon or betray you. (Those being the friends you make via random encounter or factions and frat type houses or from school groups etc.)
With you finally returning to that school with your new crew and knowledge getting revenge on those wronging you. And ripping off the school for what you originally wanted, learning theirs more to steal when you realise who the head of the school is..... theres much more to the story, this was just the start lol.
In my head it eventually leads to Jimmy having his own GTA game set in Vice City or NY.
Eratiik awesome idea
That's a horrible misunderstanding of Jimmy's character.
Sorry to burst your bubble but it's never going to happen. The games creators never saw Jimmy developing into a GTA protagonist.
"I never saw him as being that level of degenerate...I saw him as a bad teen, because he comes from a tough home, who could go either direction. He's not going to be a carjacker. He's too white collar for that already. He's at a shit private school, but he's going to end up being really happy because he's at the worst bit of his life, or being a sort of messed up white collar doofus. He was an unpleasant soul, but he had a heart. To some extent you could say the same was true of [Grand Theft Auto 4's] Niko in a bizarre way. But [Jimmy's] not trying to burn down the school, he's more trying to stand up to injustice."

I'm glad i came across your channel, because all the games you review, are games i have played over the years! thanks for the awesome channel!
Bully DEFINITELY deserves a sequel, I remember when I first played it. I instantly loved the game and still do. AMAZING GAME
When I was younger I played and loved GTASA and knew about Bully because my friend had it, but I never played it myself or even watched him play it all that much. It wasn't until it came out on mobile that I finally got to play it for myself and see just how terrific this game is! I only wish I'd played it on console back in the day, but I had no problem beating it on mobile. Hilariously, it wasn't until I got it on mobile that I realized the map was much much more than just the school! That was a complete shock to me all these years later.
This game had only 2 o 3 flaws:
1) the rifle in the Carnival (THAT trophy damn!)
2) the buildings (i think it's the only graphic think that Rockstar missed during the whole Ps2 days.. even in GTAs; i mean, the details on them are cool but they still feel to me like squares put on the road, they should look more "together" with the world that surround them)
3) no just 2
Ok where is swegta!?
you just reminded me about how awesome this game was! brings back memories!
Brilliant review, good work my man, greetings from Dublin Ireland 💚🇮🇪🍀
Nothing but good memories on this game
I miss this game. Completed it fully. Still waiting for the sequel. I am now in my mid 30s.
Best Rockstar Villains: Frank Tenpenny, Micah Bell, Dimitri Rascalov, and Gary Smith. Throw Edgar Ross in there too of course!
bully 2 in current gen would be amazing. there would be so much to work with, social media on its own would probably have so much material to provide for the game.
the "police" catches you immediatly if the bar is red
Looks like saying hello to prefects is disrespectful ( 11:50 )
Scholarship Edition was a good update, but it was very unstable. The PC version is one of the worst ports ever, and the Xbox 360 version freezes a lot.
Silent made a patch that basically fixes all crashes, and other things like an unlocked frame limiter.

Bully is a Master Pice
In spanish Una Obra Maestra !
This game is so fun , with tons of stuff to do , i like this game more than GTA V and thrust me buy it its chip and worthed
Super Fun! 😍
holy shit your videos are so interesting, how are you not more popular
That opening music is iconic!
The Principal's VA is top notch to me.
I played a good boy run of this game by going to each class on time every day and then i handled the rest of the story missions. It really frees up your time when you finish off the classes and you're pretty decked out with abilities for the missions to boot. I loved it. Wonderful game.
Some of its lineage is in Sleeping Dogs. The click and hold method fighting style, the reputation based gameplay, hell even the customizable outfits.
Great review! But it is actually not entirely impossible to determine the time period Bully takes place in. The map in Geography 1 already shows post-soviet countries so it must either take place in the 90's or early 2000's. Since the nerds play on Arcade machines, my first guess would be the 90's
We Just deserve bully2 rn
Best soundtrack I've ever heard.
This review inspired me to jump back in !
A lot of people don't know this. But if you find an ice cream truck in gta 4 and press the horn it plays tunes from bully 👍
Was disappointed that Scholarship Edition wasn’t released on ps3 or ps4 but finally got to play it on my iPad
Just bought Bully yesterday after a Rockstar spree of GTAV, GTAIV, GTASA. First time playing ever.
I made sure to get that scooter from the carnival; I mowed a lot of lawns to get that big ticket item.
I bought this on the PS2, Wii and PC. I love it so much.
this is defo my fav game ever, beaten it 57 times across all 3 versions
I was never frustrated by the classes I actually liked all of them XD Even English.
I would love Bully 2 way better than GTA VI
Its kinda 50/50 for me. I've spent endless hours on the xbox 360 version and its so fun
It takes place 1995 at the earliest. There's an arcade game that says that it was registered in 1995.
Galloway also says looking at sites on the internet pretty sure internet wasn't this famous in 1995
Popping Dog Studios also helped with the early versions of CS 1.6, when the original developers were unable to work on it. To the point where Train was made a Popping Dog Studios employee.
Why? Minh Le, Jess Cliffe (The original creators of Counter-Strike) worked at Popping Dog Studios.
In my opinion this is one of the greatest video games ever made and is certainly my favorite of all time to this day and I know waaayyyy too many things about this game and so many glitches 😅
(Only can do 1 to 2 missions a day early on) me looking shocked hearing that knowing I completely did chapter 1 in like 2 or 3 in game days before
What glitches ? It's my favorite game too!
@@7evive like I know how to glitch myself outside the school in chapter 1. Not only that but I know how to glitch myself into every area of the game in chapter 1. Also I know a glitch so that the clock is no longer on the screen and technically "freeze time", I know how to get the gokart in chapter 2. I know how to make Jimmy "fly", I also know quite a few other glitches. It's still the best game ever even with glitches
You should review the Max Payne series if you've played them
This was every kids gta if there parents didn’t allow them to own the real thing
Honestly this is in my top 5 games of all time it just beats saints row 2
I wouldn't want Bully to be a fully-fledged modern rockstar game. A smaller project assigned to a partner studio would be awesome. Take the same map and flesh it out more, using an updated engine would add game mechanics; more classes, better weapons and diverse environment interactions. Throw on a new story about the next school year or something and you have a classic
Skool daze was my favourite game from childhood.
heard rumors that Bully 2 was in a playable level and in development but rockstar canceled to put a big part of the studios in the gta 6 development
Why didn't you review the Scholarship Edition? That's the best version man...
Cole Edits Ya the wii version had the best graphics and controls to
