Is this PS2 exclusive? Would there be an XBox version on the cards?

Wow, it's better than Table tennis? So another 10/10 game... ;-)

Best game since GTA.. when was GTA first released? mid 90's I think.

Been a long time coming!

Oh boy, you-know-who will be furious that you dared to write a positive preview...

Skool Daze was always ripe for an update.

The only shame appears to be that you cant rename your fellow students and the teachers.

What are you basing that on?

The preview says it's great.. No-one else has played it.. So are you basing it purely on the video/screenshots?

Sounds like they've got the game mechanics right, then, and it'll be a rewarding experience to play. Plus it has a fairly original context.
Honestly though - do you REALLY want to play the sort of tw*t that you're glad not to have seen again since leaving school? Is it a good thing to play a character that looks and acts like that and being regularly rewarded by doing so??
Give me an overtly-mustachiod Italian-Japanese plumber any day over this, or even chainsawing wave upon wave of mutants in half for that matter...

As my own school motto used to go, "Ad astra per aspera".

To the stars what? You sure you got that right....I know my latin is a bit rusty but...well anyways.

I'm not touching this as I'm going off the whole grand theft franchise. Ultimately they are all the same when you re-visit them. Setting this in a school makes for a more contained and therefore more feature rich environment so maybe I'll persuade a friend to get it first.

prepare to feel the wrath of Jack Thompson.

i bet they didn't, in his own words "allow gamer lapdogs like you to play well into the game to see the "missions" that show the greater violence?"

you have been subliminaly exposed to a violence simulator by rockstar you will go on a rampage and kill people very soon.

Does that mean that monkey is going to start to post comments on Eurogamer yelling about how the game, he has never played, is the work of the devil and needs to be sent to the depths of hell?

The thing I love most is the fact that it seems to be nowhere near as controversial as all the ignorant, I-wanna-be-in-the-limelight people suggested/wanted :)

Internet translation says: "Ad astra per aspera" means "To star very violent,"
but then it also says "Canis Canem Edit" means "Dog canem the publishing of a book," so...

I think this looks interesting, I wasn't too keen on GTA to be honest, too clunky, but I quite like the look of this.

"It was 7pm and Rockstar wanted to go home"????!

HA! HA! HA!

Anyway. Sounds fun.
Really does sound like Skool Daze 2 (which is good).
Are there shields to fire your catapult at?

You're all in detention until I find out who ate the school goldfish.

Sounds like a well put together game, I was worried it might be a bit flimsy once the obivous gagas are done but that doesn't sound the case at all. Using lessons to boost your character is clever. A+

Repeated about eleventy-one times on the first page of a google for 'Ad astra per aspera':

"Ad astra per aspera means 'to the stars through difficulties' and is the state motto of Kansas"

some people need to sharpen their google skills/common sense.

Looks good to me and seems to be the opposite to GTA in tone.

"As my own school motto used to go, "Ad astra per aspera"."

That was the same as my school's motto. For the school their interpretation of it was "To reach the stars through hardships" /wonders if it is the same school

About time I actually read a preview. This really does sound excellent. I was wondering how the actual gameplay would work out but it sounds really good fun. Moving out into town is a great move too as being confined to school might have been very restricted.

Nice write up.

Wow. This actually sounds like it could be a really great game. Kudos to Rockstar.
