Bully<\/a>, Rockstar Games\u2019 2006 open-world game set at a boarding school, is getting another look this year as it hits 20<\/strong>. Two decades on, it still feels like one of the studio\u2019s oddest wins, and one of the clearest cases of a sequel that should\u2019ve happened but never did.<\/p>\n

Made by Rockstar Vancouver and released as Canis Canem Edit in PAL territories, Bully puts you in Jimmy Hopkins\u2019 shoes at Bullworth Academy, where cliques, crooked teachers, prefects, and prank-heavy missions swap out Grand Theft Auto<\/a>\u2019s gang wars for bikes, skateboards, scooters, slingshots, stink bombs, marbles, and bats. It landed an 87<\/strong> Metascore on Metacritic and sold more than 1.5 million copies, according to Take-Two.<\/p>\n\n

Before release, some critics worried Bully would glorify bullying. What players actually got was a lighter, more satirical<\/strong> game where Jimmy Hopkins often ends up sticking up for weaker students, which helps explain why so many fans think it has held up better than anyone expected.<\/p>\n\n

If you tend to like Rockstar when it gets a little weirder, Bully is still an easy one to recommend, especially since Bully 2 reportedly made it into<\/a> early development<\/strong> and even reached a playable slice sometime between 2009 and 2013, according to VGC, before Rockstar\u2019s attention shifted to Red Dead Redemption<\/a>, Max Payne 3, Grand Theft Auto V, and later Grand Theft Auto VI.<\/p>\n\n

You can still pick up the 2008 Scholarship Edition or the 2016 Anniversary Edition<\/strong>, and you can play Bully on modern PlayStation platforms or through Rockstar Games\u2019 GTA+ subscription. Fan interest hasn\u2019t really gone away, either, with leaks, Easter eggs, and remake attempts keeping it in circulation.<\/p>\n
