Bully
by Rockstar Vancouver
A scrappy teenager navigates the warring cliques, corrupt faculty, and social battlegrounds of Bullworth Academy — Rockstar's open-world boarding school satire. Five factions (Bullies, Nerds, Preppies, Greasers, Jocks) control campus territory while the adults look the other way. Play as Jimmy Hopkins, expelled from everywhere else, as he fights, schemes, and allies his way through a school that's equal parts Lord of the Flies and John Hughes.
