While Jimmy is quite simple in scope design-wise, it works well in further showing how diverse the characters are that he encounters, with the typical over-the-top Rockstar stereotypes of a lot of the social classes one will encounter in school.

The colors are bright and really pop when they need to, but most of all, the colors and themes in the game visually fit well with the characters and stories being told. There are areas outside of the school you can get to, but all together the world in “Bully” is nowhere near as vast as you see in other Rockstar games, though I think it is in the smaller scale that greater detail is presented and showcased quite well.

Yes, it is easy to get impressed by the staggering display seen in most Rockstar games, and “Bully” is no exception, but for my money, I find the environments and characters encountered here even more impressive than your standard “Grand Theft Auto” fare because of the smaller scope of things presented in a truly grand fashion. Of course, this is only one pleasing and impressive aspect of the sounds you hear in “Bully,” as the sound effects are pretty good and sometimes hilarious, especially in combination with some of the best voice acting in Rockstar history, and what’s most impressive about it is none of the voices used for characters in the game belong to people you know from other arenas of entertainment – just some great voice actors who knew what they needed to do and did it well. It is simple, yet effective – a common theme in great games and soundtracks throughout the history of video games. This isn’t some kind of epic soundtrack that beats you over the head with its outward and grandiose style. The soundtrack is so elusive and deceptive to your ears that you actually have to pause the game or totally clear your mind of everything else to really appreciate it. While a Rockstar game, and one with a distinct teen vibe to it, could have just plugged in popular music of the time, they created a true original soundtrack with unique sounds that, while subtle in some aspects, also get your adrenaline pumping when it needs to. In many ways, “Bully” is deceptive in what it truly offers in all aspects versus initial player expectations but, as in life, one should not judge a book by its cover, and this is apparent right away in the soundtrack alone. The bell has rung, so it’s time to head to class!
#THE BULLY PS2 SERIES#
The company in question, Rockstar, is certainly a company that needs little introduction to today’s gamers, but too often, like today’s subject matter, “ Bully” for the PlayStation 2 is one that slips through the cracks laid by the many variations of the “ Grand Theft Auto” series and, to some extent, “ Red Dead Revolver” and “ Red Dead Redemption.” Today, we take a look back to see what makes this game not only a hidden gem in the PlayStation 2 library, but an unsung hero in the vast history of Rockstar and its many contributions to the success of modern gaming. Today’s game, like the first two we looked at, is one that took staples of the company it was developed by and turned them on their head. I hope you’ve been enjoying this month of my favorite games so far, as we have two more games we’ll be taking a look at in May.
