Canis Canem Edit (Bully)
- Thread starter GrantM
- Start date
At the moment my gaming diary is too full to buy this as I just started GTA San Andreas at the weekend. Let us know what the game is like as I am very tempted to buy it later on this year after 03/11/06 - NFS Carbon (PS2) and GTA Vice City (PSP). I love the idea that the game is about a kid standing up to the Bully's getting revenge for normal kids and not, as most people believed, about you being the bully and gaining points tormenting innocent children.

Jack Thompson is to video games what Ken Warwick is to robotics. :lol:
By the way, did you know PC World and Currys have withdrawn the sell of this game because it "...doesn't suit their family orientated image." or something close to those lines?
And like the Grand Theft Auto franchise provides wholesome family fun for goodness sake! The people in charge of these businesses may (or may not) be academically sound, but it means nothing if you don't have common sense!
And what's worse, this game won't be the "unsavoury" creation many short-sighted forecasters have predicted. I'm expecting a modern version of 'Skool-Daze' here! :lol:
The media is hyping this way out of propotion.
Wanna know what happens when something controvisal is released people get curious and sales go through the roof.
If people really feel it's that bad they would do the smart thing and keep there mouth closed since in reality i would think it would get boring after a week in playing.

I bought this just under a week ago and its not only a great game, but its considerably more impressive than I expected it to be. In fact, I personally prefer it to the Grand Theft Auto games.
One of many things that impressed me about this game is that it was genuinely funny. Loads of satire, some it obvious, some of it subtle.
I liked some of the mini-games which I got the impression were tributes to older games. I mean, there's a lawn-mower simulator (there was one of those on the old Commodore Amiga's) and there's also a mini-game where you make money as a paper boy. It reminded me of, you guessed it, the old Paper Boy game!
Some of the characters were good too. I liked the homless guy behind the bus who saw active service during the Korean civil war. Some stinging satire towards the military early on there that made me chuckle.
Not a perfect game but it'll definetely stay in the memory long after the hardware is used on has become obsolete.
