Bully for Xbox 360 and Wii News
Xbox 360 Wii News by Tom Bramwell
Rockstar plans to release Xbox 360 and Wii versions of Bully this winter, promising new content on top of the free-roaming schoolboy antics that made the PS2 version such a critical success.
Awarded a hearty 9/10 on its release as Canis Canem Edit in Europe, the game's return will be under the banner of "Bully: Scholarship Edition" in the States. Goodness knows what it will be called here. Canis Canem Edit: Liberate Tutemet Ex Inferis is our best guess. Hey - it's Friday.
And that's roughly all we know for now. There'll be "additional new content" this winter.
Whatever that ends up being, it's good news for owners of Microsoft and Nintendo's systems, as Bully's clever blend of GTA's free-roam principles, incidental humour and constant reinforcement gave Bullworth Academy a signature charm that really ought to have won it more sales than it made.

The only question for me is wether to get it on the 360 or the Wii. Never played it on the PS2 but then again I wasn't really interested in it anyway until I read the very praising reviews.

Bully didn't get extra sales because of rockstars mis-guided need to court controversy. If they had called it Canis from the beginning or indeed anything other than Bully, then the name of rockstar would have carried it to some grand sales.
As it stands and with all the publicity about bullying and suicides dut to bullying. Their choice of name was seen as nothing more than a grossly misguided attempt to cach in on that. Regardless of what anyone thinks of the quality of their games. Not one person could agree with that strategy. I'm going to bet they play down the violence in GTA IV too as a result of their recent wake-up calls. |

Thats annoying. After finishing the PS2 version it was apparent that a lot of content near the end of the game was missing especially in the final chapter where its obvious a lot of storyline linking content had been left out.
All done presumably so they could get the PS2 version out at a set date. Now they rerelease the game with the stuff which should have been there in the first place. They could at least offer PS2 owners a budget special edition or something so those who are interested can get a version with a story that makes sense from start to finish. :-( |

"All done presumably so they could get the PS2 version out at a set date." Yes. Because the other option would be to use too many resources, get a completely non releasable game, and then can it. "Now they rerelease the game with the stuff which should have been there in the first place." No, they released a game with content which they may have liked to have had in the original. There is a difference. |

For future reference, working in the games industry I get more than a little effin peeved off at the following: 1. People that think they have a right to downloadable content. 2. People that think games developers scale a game back, because they couldn't be bothered to finish it, or just so they can release a new "special" edition. 3. Badgers. From your post I put you in category 2, sorry if thats not the case. |

I'd buy it for the Wii, no hesitation.
[ponders] Though having it on the 360 would mean being able to keep the entire house heated whilst also playing a game .... [/ponders]

They're adding the extra content to make 360'ers & Wii'ers believe they weren't shafted by the over a whole year difference in release.
I've played this game to death, and got boring after a while. It was good, it just didn't have that lasting affect GTA had back in the day. I adore Rockstar more than any other game developer, but, graphical improvement would not make any difference in the whole thing which made it boring in itself. It just keeps going on & on with the same drivel. Especially no reason for a higher port price. Count me out. Old. NEEEXT. |

Problem is, Bully on the PS2 is around £12.99, new. Bully on the 360, will be £39.99, new. What are we getting, other than some "additional new content", and achievements, that justifies the near 3x price increase?
Well, other than not having to play it on a PS2 controller ;P |
