The game does not look very good at all. It does not seem like there was any improvement over the PlayStation 2 version. To add insult to injury the game suffers from long load times as well.
Unlike the Grand Theft Auto games, Bully does not feature a massive playlist of licensed music. Instead is only has a few tunes that act more as a score. They are unobtrusive and help set the scenes for the games.
The amount of different voice actors used for the game is staggering. Nearly every single character has a different voice, and there around 100 characters in the game. Each character is a stereotype, but the voice acting is so good it overshadows that.
The story mode is about 10-15 hours long, but if you want to get 100% completion it could take you around 30-35 hours.
While the game is not a looker or a game of the year contender it is surprisingly addictive. I found myself completing errands, egging cars, competing in bike races, and generally messing around instead of advancing the story. There must be something to doing what you sometimes felt like really doing in high school. Bully is definitely worth a play.
