In this game there are several fun and worth while activities such as Go Cart races and some of the tasks or missons. The overall theme of "bullying" and violent negative behavior, combined with the fact that most players drawn to this game will be boys 10-14 years old, make this game a bad choice. Since those playing this school setting based game will themselves be in the school setting there are too many negetives that hit way too close to home. It may actually be less harmful to let your preteen or teen play a more violent game in a clearly "fantasy" setting than this less violent but anti-social one in the players "home" setting.

Not as bad as it sounds
The game starts with quite a bad reputation, because of the other, more violent games the Rockstar produces, but any violence is comical and minor. As long as your child isn't really immature, and can realize that it is just a game, i would recommend it.

I had a very good time playing this.
The last mission is absolutely spectacular. It does promote vilence and pranking though seeing is that is all you really do in the game. But there is so much for each that you can't stop playing. Very good for those who are mature enough to play it.

Since When Could Carl Johnson (Protagonist From GTA: SA) Go Back To School And Beat The Teachers Up? Never...
As We All Know, Rockstar Are Famous For Their Series Of Games, Grand Theft Auto (GTA For Short), But Never Has Rockstar Created A Game Where You Do GTA Style Missions In The Schoolyard. This Game Is Canis Canem Edit (Latin For Dog Eat Dog), The Game Where You Control The Trouble Maker, Jimmy Hopkins You Can Ride Bikes, Beat Up Preppies, Nerds, Prefects (If You're Lucky), Teachers (If You're Very Lucky) Greasers, Bullies, Jocks And Townies, Put Firecrackers Down Toilets, Pick Lockers, Hide In Lockers, Buy Clothes, Buy Drinks, Buy Bikes, Smash Cars, Make Out With Girls, Do Paper Rounds, Detentions, Earn Money, Go To The Carnival, Do Errands For Money And Show You're The Toughest Kid In Bullworth, New England. The Plot: You Play As Jimmy Hopkins, A 15 Year Old Kid Who's Been Expelled From Every School He's Ever Been To. His Mum Has Gone On A Honeymoon With His New Stepfather And Because They Don't Want To Take Jimmy With Them, They Drop Him Off At Bullworth Academy: "The Toughest School Around". Your Job Is To Survive In Bullworth Academy By Helping Nerds, Preps, Bullies, Teachers, Greasers, Jocks And Townies. What I Think: The Game Is Simply Amazing. It's Just Like GTA, Free Roaming And Loads Of Things To Do. The Game Is Very Comic. Very Funny For A Video Game! There's A Town (Bullworth) Which You Can Explore. Bullworth Is Absolutlely Huge, Not As Big As GTA San Andreas Or GTA IV, But It's Still Very Big. The School Is Quite Big Aswell, Lucky You Have A Map In The Game Box And In The Game To Help You Find Your Way Around The Huge School. So, If You Like Grand Theft Auto Games, You'll Love This. If You Like Comedy, You'll Love This And If You Love Beating Up Random People Well, You're Gonna Love It!!! Overall. 5/5. A Classic Game, Hope They Make A Sequel (Bully Scholoarship Edition Is Not Really A Sequel It's More Of A Bigger Version Of This, More Missions, More Things To Do And Stuff Like That). So Buy Now If You Like GTA, Free Roaming And Beating Up Random People.

Grand theft auto without the guns and blood
Rockstar has made an amazing game. Bully is about a boy who gets stranded by his mom and step dad at a school called bullworth academy. In the game you can kick, punch, and do almost anything to beat someone up. Since there is no blood it isnt that bad. Language is pretty mild and on occasion. You can kiss girls and guys too. That is pretty much as bad as it gets for sexual content. A teacher is an alcoholic.

Fun beating up nerds not for 11 and under
It is fun running a round beating up teachers and kids, but... not for 12 and under it is to, to. I don't know but what ever it is its not good the sex is to the point where you "Make out" and violence is intense and some drugs so fun to violent and sexually

What a great game!!
Now, I'm not obssessed with video games, so I wouldn't know, but I think this is the best video game ever! It officially made me a couch potato. And I hate that people think it promotes school violence; ITS JUST A GAME PEOPLE!! Well, yeah, its violent, but theres no blood or deaths or stuff. And there's the usual dating a school and cursing. But still, play this game IT ROCKS!!

AMAZING!!!!!!!!
This game is what one could call perfect. Aside from the awesome gameplay and realistic animation, this game has the best story of any game I've ever played! A definate must-play for any nerd, jock, or pretty much anyone who likes video games.

Great Game
This game is great because it is just like Grand Theft Auto without the killing, hookers, driving, and the gore. The main character of the game stands up for the week and tries to make bullies, jocks, preps, and nerds to become just one big group of friends and he eventually succeeds with a little "perssuasion".

this game has a great story.
This game is actually pretty good. Not that challenging, but it's fun. There are a few things to keep away from kids under the age of 10 or 11 but it doesn't have anything that you don't see on TV. It's one of the only games out there that can make you laugh and at some parts you can "understand" the characters' anger (especially towards the end). The game has kissing and a pretty large amount of violence but only things such as fist fights and slingshots. The game is fine for kids around my age and older, and I strongly recommend it.

THIS GAME ROCKS
This game is so fuuun. I beat it twice and Im still not bored with it. There is bearly any cussing, only the D-word but no sexuality.

It was not like Grand Theft Auto to me it was more like a high school experience. Getting to the levels was fun at first then it got more fun and a little harder. But it ended up coming out well for me. I made my character beat up the bullies.

This game ROCKS!!!
I got this game for Christmas and what a surprise I got! This game was like GTA (Grand Theft Auto) for kids, and GTA ROCK!!! The story had everything: action, romance, betrayal and just plain good old fashioned VIOLENCE! There are only 2 things wrong with this nearly perfect game: 1: Its too Unrealistic gender wise e.g. there are far too little females in the game. About 3/4 of the schools students are boys (understandable). 2: there are too many prefects and too many cops in the game. Can't a boy smash a window without some tall, fat loser chasing after us, give us some freedom PLEASE! Other than that I would to THANK GOD for ROCKSTAR for they have created and amazing piece of Heaven, or Hell would be the better word to discribe this game. Of you get bullied in school, buy this game and get all that frustration out of your system.
