Maybe Robo-Gamestop woman has a wrong number.
Have you guys seen the collectors edition of this? The box is gigantic, it comes with a dodgeball, a pretty nifty comic, and a Rockstar sticker all at $49.99. Good luck finding one though. Word is allocations are tight and EB/Gamestop purchased ALL of them from 2K.
Anyone having trouble finding the game? It was sold out at few places around here...a ten out of ten? Holy shit indeed. Can't wait to play it.

this is ****ing awesome. on HDLoader, there's tiny loads and solid framerates
Ok, I just found a little bulldog running around, and I think you're supposed to (or you just can) play frisbee with it, but instead I attacked it. I grabbed it by the head, then punched it right in the neck. I couldn't believe it. :lol
This game is awesome, there's a lot of stuff to do in it besides punching innocent dogs in the neck.

What, I can't be interested in a game now. The reviews do seem to be favorable.

omg this is totally the most awesome game ever and there are things to do in it and the story and characterization are top notch and this is probably the GOTY and this and this omg and this is going to be so awesome and when you play the game you get this feeling of being back in high school but i really wouldn't know since i'm only 6 months removed or so but i really enjoy it and the graphics are so good better than next-gen in fact when i was playing this i threw my xbox down the stairs because ps2 graphics are better and the gameplay is the best thing ever and once i saw this guy in teh game and he said something that was so funny that i was cracking up and my cheeks hurt so i had to stop laughing by holding my cheeks with my hands because it was so funny because the characterization is so good and this game is totally 10/10 goty gotm (millennium lol) so basically where was i oh yes this game is the best thing ever and i am running out of ways to say its so good basically just remember that when you are playing you are basically looking into the face of god himself
oh and this is totally better than yakuza

Yeah I'm starting to get caught up in the slipstream too, the main thing holding me back was the last-gen graphics but that confirmed 16:9 mode goes a long way toward softening the blow to my eyeballs.
And really, who can go past a good opportunity for some dog punching eh?

I've not kept up too much with this game, but that's what it seemed like in the previews. So are you really against the bullies in the game or is like you can go agains them and still bully other kids?
Also, we need making out with other guys footage.

fixed. Obviously I'm not a huge Rockstar fan. I'm just not willing to trade in a consistent frame-rate and attention to detail for the ability to do any idotic thing that comes into my mind. **** a sandbox, I want a polished game, something I've never gotten out of them.
I guess 1up has never heard of the great Gamespot- Tony Hawk 3 debacle.

ok, the game gets a 10/10 from 1up, so i'm curious.
the question of the moment for those playing it:
if you were bored by gta, would you still enjoy bully?
i'm curious, but not sold.

I was raving to my girlfriend last night about this game and how I've been anticipating it. Mind you, the last Playstation 2 game I have personally purchased was X-Men Legends. I've been out of the gaming scene for awhile but I'm working on resuscitating the gamer within me. And I'm surprised that the Gaming-Age community hasn't been anticipating this title and that there aren't numerous threads on it already.
So my little wife piece shows up at my door in the early afternoon with a Gamestop bag in her hand and my jaw drops. The game is living up to it's hype so far even though I'm still traversing through the introductive storyline of Chapter 1 (out of 5). The NPC dialogues and side-chatter are hilarious, particularly the nerds'.
If you're not an impulse buyer like myself, just rent it and try it out for tastes. From what I've heard, the game is fully-loaded so a 5-day rental wouldn't be able to suffice for the amount of gameplay stuffed in the game -- unless you have 5 full days to work with, without any interruption, social activities, or job. Which, in that case, I'd feel very bad for you. Unless you were ill, injured, or physically disfigured. Then you're cool.

Yeah, the skateboard is a little iffy but you get used to it after awhile.

I think you're going to see plenty of normal gamers give it a 10/10 personal score, and a lot of 9+ as well. I'm not going to score it one way or the other since I haven't made it too far through it, but I do flat out love everything I've played of it so far. Here are the various reviews I've seen so far:
IGN Review - 8.9
GameTrailers Video Review - 8.1 out of 10
Game Informer - 8.5 out of 10
GamePro - 4.5 out of 5
Games Radar - 9 out of 10
__________ - 92 out of 100
1UP - 10 out of 10
This game is going to be one of those games that a lot of people love and score very high, and most other people are going to say that it's a great game, but it's "more of the same" in terms of gameplay and the such, which will lower the overall score for some people.
