Rockstar Announces Bully for Xbox360 and Wii

bbb7002004 | July 19, 2007 | News | Wii XBOX 360

Rockstar continues its support of Microsoft and Nintendo's newest consoles by bringing its controversial PS2 game, Bully, to Xbox360 and Wii. Rockstar promises that the full story from the PS2 game will return, along with new content. They did not comment on this new content, however.

Today Rockstar announced it is transferring last year's PlayStation 2 high school sandbox game Bully to the Wii and Xbox 360. Bully: Scholarship Edition will include the full original game as well as new content -- although Rockstar isn't saying what this new content will entail.

Bully was surrounded by controversy leading up to its release last year over fears that the game would promote violence in school. Once everyone got a chance to play it, though, it became apparent these fears were unfounded. Bully lacked much of the racy material Rockstar has become known for with its Grand Theft Auto series. This didn't make it any less enjoyable, though -- IGN gave Bully an 8.9.

Ahh, this game was great on PS2. If I had known it would come to Wii, I definately would have waited.

I already own, and have beaten this game for PS2. It's awesome.

Glad to see Rockstar supporting the Wii with 3 games so far.

Wow, Rockstar sure are supporting Nintendo more than before, great stuff. I have never played Bully before, but it has had a lot of positive feedback so I need to check this one out.

Bully was a great game, and depending how much new content they add I will definitely buy it again.

Hope they make it cheaper, since it's a remake and all, doesn't seem worth the retail price. Was a decent game, unique.

This was my favorite game for the PS2 system all though for some reason I'm a little bit surprised its being released for the Wii.

Heard it was a great game though, just might have to grab it when it comes to the Wii.

actually, the less controversy made this game less enjoyable it was too PG. I wanted some serious bulllying action.. BUt it turned out to be just as boring as WARRIORS. Meaning- just okay.

  I though this game was okay, nothing amazing. But it should do well on the new consoles.

Although I'm sure my dad won't let me get it, I still want to. Maybe I can have my older brother pick me up a copy and just play it behind their backs...

I wonder if you'll get to motion controlled grope the girls' ass on the Wii like he did with every PS2 kiss. I can see Rockstar doing it.

I'm glad I waited to pick this game up for PS2, because the Wii version should be an all around better game, what with the motion controls and all.

What's with Rockstar having a grudge against Sony all of the sudden?

Just when I was about to get this on PS2. It's great to hear it's coming out on 360, although I probably won't get it for a while, what with all the other big name titles on the way, such as BioShock, GTAIV, Halo 3 and Mass Effect.
