Bully scholarship edition

Tuesday, June 21, 2011


Untimely ports are anachronisms -- sometimes-ugly reminders of gaming's very recent past that can potentially come off as a bit dull. Videogames are iterative, after all, and most of us tend to view our hobby through the lens of newer releases. Bully: Scholarship Edition is just such an untimely port: Sandbox state-of-the-art has changed dramatically since Bully was originally released for the PlayStation 2 two years ago, and Scholarship Edition for the PC feels not only like a glimpse at the past but -- inexplicably, considering its ridiculously long port time -- like a rush job.

Part of the problem is that a Glock by any other name still caps asses, and in Bully, a slingshot-slung pebble achieves the same result as a 9 mm hollow-point, sans the spatter patterns and moral quandaries. The high school setting doesn't camouflage the rusting Grand Theft Auto machinery at work behind the curtain at Bullworth Academy. The campus and surrounding locales -- like San Andreas and Liberty City before them -- house throngs of utterly unhinged individuals that require the aid of an equally off-base protagonist to do their (typically fetch-quest-based) dirty work.
