Bullying its way back into gamers' hearts

Bully: Scholarship Edition (Xbox 360, £39.99) It may be one of the most controversial games to date - attracting lots of negative attention from anti-bullying groups based purely on the name alone - but Rockstar Games' Bully is top of the class.

On the PlayStation 2, the game was called Canis Canem Edit, Latin for Dog Eat Dog. It was a way of distancing the game from the Bully title which had upset so many but, in this enhanced Xbox 360 version, that original name has been adopted. And it's clear the negativity surrounding the title was completely unfounded.

What you get is an opportunity to return to your school days and play out an excellent action-adventure on the grounds of the Bulworth Academy.

From attending different lessons to up-skill your character to carrying out missions for the various high-school cliques knocking around the corridors, Bully sucks you in and won't let you go with its incredible story-telling combined with excellent combat system and non-linear gameplay.

Yes, the graphics could have been a little better, it's top marks for this title.

4/5 (or A-)
