Rockstar's Most Unique Game | A Bully Retrospective

Bully is without a doubt one of Rockstar's best games. Often talked about online as Grand Theft Auto with Kids, which is right in a lot of ways but at the same time it is one of Rockstar's most creative and unique games. So today, join me as we hop on the bus back to Bullworth Academy to take a look at Bully in 2022.

Man I wanted a sequel or spin off or anything really soo desperately for this game, it came out when I was in middle school, I'm almost 30 now and have abandoned all hope oh well this game was a instant classic for me anyway and I cherish the memories playing it.

[@qkomodo9098]

I always imagined a sequel coming out where we play as Jimmy's Son/Daughter

[@MrHammers]

It's insane they never followed up on it, it's such a unique game compared to what they have going on right now

[@leewhite5061]

Say for me bro I was taking exams while I was playing I've never studied so hard In my life bc as soon as I was done I could get back to bully. This game means so much to me an is the epitome of the golden age of gaming they'll never be another masterpiece like this again my brother.

[@djr4872]

Bully and L.a Norie. idk how they never made sequel's to either.

The world felt so alive, there was interactions always happening between the different gangs and prefects.

Ikr, I feel like they made a more solid world than thier GTA games. Probably because of the small map, but it's still impressive

[@leewhite5061]

A lot of them were absolutely hilarious to bro

I loved when you encountered a 'fat nerd' NPC that had antagonistic AI. Absolutely hilarious seeing this fat, disheveled, out-of-shape dork insulting and harassing jock NPCs, and seeing the fit jock NPCs actually react with fear 😂

I played bully all throughout high school and early in my college career recently I have relaxed on playing it but it was such a fun game to play while going to school

For the kids that weren't allowed GTA, Rockstar made this game for you. Very great gem in Bully. Rumors around the community had said Bully 2 was cancelled two times. Great video Hammers!

[@Daydreamer1230]

Crying shame. Imo Bully is the underdog of Rockstar games. No other R* title ever stayed with me like Bully.

[@martinnevarez242]

I enjoyed playing Bully in my teen years, and even now, I keep coming back to it. For me, as a teen, playing as Jimmy Hopkins was a vicarious power fantasy because I wished that I could have stood up to my bullies like Jimmy Hopkins did. Good video, man!

[@MrHammers]

Thanks dude!

[@davidkonevky7372]

I started watching Bully gameplays the year before deciding to change schools. It really helped me take that choice and now I look back at this game fondly because of that, even if it reminds me of a dark moment in my life

[@DeadPixel1105]

Bully has some of the most amazing music in the history of games. It's so iconic; it's so memorable; it's so catchy; and it's just so good!

[@trumpsdailytruthsmakelibsc6952]

🎶 DUN dun DUN dun DUN dun Da Da Da Da DUN dun DUN dun DUN dun DUN dun!

[@magmaslug9305]

After chapter 1, I used to run into the chop shop and aggroed as many greasers as I could, then run to the parking lot. Then I would just enjoy the massive brawl between the bullies and the greasers.

[@BestWayKilla]

One of the little details I like most about the game is that the Bullies are the first clique you befriend, and for the whole rest of the game, they've got your back. Even in the later chapters, when the whole school turns against you, the Bullies are the one faction that remain friendly to you. And when you see the way they act, they don't come off nearly as sociopathic and malicious as some of the other characters and cliques do, nor do they have any ulterior motives, they're just angry teenage boys letting out their aggression. It perfectly shows how screwed up Bulworth is that the most trustworthy and loyal group is also the most openly aggressive.

[@Synthpopper]

It also helps that Russel is their leader and basically forms a pact with Jimmy when bested.

[@AE1OU]

4:16 Man, its so good to see someone pull back the slingshot for a stronger hit and not just continuously spam the shoot button to fire weak pellets. Can't tell you how many letsplayers I've watched who played Bully like a noob not paying attention to the message and just spam the fire button not even knowing you can hold down the button for a stronger shot.

[@Starwarsdude8221991]

Jimmy is the most moral protagonist rockstar ever made which isn’t hard since most are criminals but still

[@MrHammers]

Very true

[@Disconnect350]

Loved this game back in the day. Wish Rockstar would go back to making unique games like Warriors, Midnight Club, Manhunt, Bully, Max Payne instead of focusing on generic sandbox realism simulators like GTA and RDR2, not a fan of their latest games. Really miss those PS2 days when games were about being cool, simple and just fun. Man, Warriors and Bully gave me some great memories.

[@Heat7208]

Yeah, they need to make more original games again.. they cancelled "Agent" which sounds like a really good game.

[@MrHammers]

Agreed, they used to have so much variety. I love RDR2 don't get me wrong, but it'd be nice to see some more unique stuff from them

[@JonJonGTA]

Honestly one of my favorite Rockstar's games since i was a child. And still is. Unfortunately I'll just have to live with the fact and acceptance that bully 2 will probably never be a thing or will never live up to the original. But i will always cherish it

[@zerx..-]

i didn't know it was based in New England. no wonder I've always thought of this as a comfort game

[@Chris_3.8]

Literally

[@ChuckM0503]

I doubt a sequel could ever hold a candle to the brilliance and charm Bully has so for me what I would love to see happen is just a great remaster of the original. And I mean a great remaster. Not like what we just had with the GTA trilogy. It has to be done right if they were to ever do it.

[@ameyskulkarni]

Try the mobile version. It's a good remaster, everything is brighter and colourful.

[@abdullahfaheem4369]

Great review, you touched on pm everything. The only things you missed was how great the camera was, it adds to Jimmy's personality and shows that he has an artistic side and I loved the fact that you could insult or compliment people whenever. The game had a crazy amount of dialogue that helped flesh out the characters more

[@MrHammers]

Yeah! The camera was really cool, you got to take pictures of each student and put them in the year book and the dialogue options were crazy. You can taunt people mid fight and use 'bullying' moves as finishers.

scholarship edition of this game is where rockstar stepped up in terms of graphics, looks alot like gta 4's graphics which came 2 years later.

I agree, scholarship edition was beautiful. I wish the PC version wasn't so jank haha

[@casmith1998]

this is a game I replay annually once a year; usually in August, around the beginning of the school year, funnily enough. I absolutely love how it unapologetically embraces teenage mischief, which is something I’ve grown to admire even more the further I’ve gotten away from my own teens. it successfully captures a specific point in time we all had in our adolescences - a period, I think, we all find ourselves missing on occasion. this game champions teenage irreverence, and I love it for it.

[@michaelrodriguez2829]

I am so glad that I subscribed to you Mr. Hammers you are the one channel that gives us hope and somehow optimism about rockstar games even when they don’t show it to us.

[@MrHammers]

You never know they may just open the vault one day and drop some stuff, but likely not haha

[@yer6900]

Havent plaid this game since i was like 10 but coming back to it recently made me realize how advanced it was for its time,

[@MrRhysReviews]

I have such fond memories of this game due to Rentals. I often got any game I wanted whenever, my Mum just wanted me to do good in school and stuff (which I did) and since I only ever wanted maybe like 3 or 4 games a year back then it wasn't that bad/expensive... But for whatever reason I remember going to Civic Video and renting Canis Canem Edit on PS2 like nearly 4 times in a row or something (and it was only like a 2 or 3 Day Rental since it was fairly new, actually another good point, most of the games I got were a year or two old and cheaper/budget price to be fair) but eventually the cost of the Rental just basically added up to the price of the game so my Mum took me to EB Games and bought it for me a few weeks later 😂 good times 👍

[@iRavenHD]

Yooo my. Man. Fellow Aussie. EB GAMESS

[@anijeepa]

One of these rare games I completed 100%. This game was literally my childhood. I still get such nostalgia listening to the soundtrack.

[@boofloof1996]

I was called a bully in school. When bully was released I was in middle school. I found Jimmy really relatable because of his natural nature to get pissed at things that were unfair or seeing others be mistreated. Like Jimmy, I never messed with anyone who didn't have it coming. I remember seeing articles and people complaining about bully corrupting the youth and how violent it was. Which confused me as a kid. Bully teaches some pretty good life lessons. Not only that but I always liked it when it's shown that a hero isn't perfect. Jimmy is rough around the edges, yet has a heart. Though of course they'll neglect to show that. Jimmy is relatable because he isn't perfect. Sure, I was mean but I was only mean to kids and teachers who were nasty to others. I was really interested in seeing them make bully 2. Just to see how I'd feel about these situations now. It'd be interesting to see Rockstar take on school nowadays. Though it seems that won't be the case.

[@InfamousSirHellfire]

Never actually played Bully (horrible. I know) But it definitely seems like the sort of game that absolutely oozes charm and is consciously aware of setting it takes place in

[@MrHammers]

It was the perfect campy game, it had plenty of charm and rockstars fantastic open world structure. Was a truly unique game in history. I'd recommend it, but playing it these days is a pain in the ass since rockstar didn't give two fucks about it running properly lol

[@psychokiller5959]

It's on PS4 bro I have it but it's the PS2 version it's not the scholarship edition

[@xeeeeiijj]

[@leewhite5061]

This game means so much to me, literally nostalgia at it's finest. It was crafted with love and great ideas. Every activity in thud game is fun even when you get caught to many times and have to mow grass. It's also a lowkey BMX game I would cruise around bull worth and look for areas to combo tricks off of. Plus the score is one of the best in gaming it really sets the tone and matches every thing you do in the game. Thank you so much for this quality retrospective I truly enjoyed watching it and Is probably the best bully video I've seen on KZbin and I've seen a lot. If you find the time please do a San Andreas bc that to holds a special place in my heart. It's unfortunate but imo games will never have this much charm or self satisfaction like this ever again all the industry cares about is graphics and micro penis transactions. Take care my brother looking forward to more great content.

[@MrHammers]

Thank you dude. I agree about the bmx part, I would cruise around popping wheelies and jumping off everything I could with the bikes in the game. Also, I plan to tackle the GTA series one day, once I'm done with most other rockstar stuff. They are tall tasks to tackle in regards to making a video because it's just so much content, but I do plan on getting to them I promise haha

Canis Canem Edit is the first Rockstar game I ever owned and I played it to death. To this day it's still one of my favourites. It's one of those games that sticks in your head and makes you nostalgic for a life you never had. Jimmy is like that friend you made at school who moved away suddenly. You remember him with fondness and you wish the best for him, wherever he is.

I was 10 when this game came out, and loved it. Played it at least 5 times as a kid. I now work night shift at a boring job and last night downloaded the mobile version…it’s not the same but it’s still super fun. Still have slight hopes for a sequel.

[@GafftheHorse]

interesting. I actually thought for a while that 'Canis canem edit' was the original name (a play on the whole latin and school thing), and it was changed to 'Bully' to be a clearer descriptor of what the game was about. I loved all the game, although I began to really hate dogeball, as it took me ages to complete gym class, but I worked out a strategy eventually. Really hard to believe there'll probably never be another in the franchise.

[@ztl2505]

Never watched your channel before, but this was a great look back at a huge part of my childhood. Thank you! I’ve also heard the rumblings about a sequel for years, but in some ways I’m glad it never happened. This game was such a unique flash in the pan I don’t really think it could be replicated, nor does the story need anything new. Would kill for a PC port that isn’t a trainwreck, though.

Bully is one of my fav games. Jimmy is a brilliant protagonist. The cliques, missions, side quests, mini games, soundtrack and my fav NPCs or love/kiss interests Gord, Beatrice and Vance among a few just make the game such a joy to come back and play, even thought I am in my 30s now! Think I will need to import it into the PS5 and dive back into nostalgia

[@jericb]

In my Freshman year of highschool I had an English assignment about creating a huge story about whatever you wanted, I aced because all I did was copy and paste the plot to Bully, cut it down a bit, and explained and analyzed bits of how it's like a social narrative. Bully was just that good, and the idea of a take-no-shit righteous violent, troubled teenager in HS as a protagonist struck home and hit hard with a lot of my classmates, (I come from a really shitty part of California)

[@dingdong8842]

Recently I've gotten the urge to play Bully again. I've got the original on PS2 and Scholarship Edition on PC. I didn't want to go through the hassle of hooking up my PS3 or PS2 and I really wanted the new classes, so I tried getting the PC version to work. It works fine on my PC but the controls suck and I hate playing a game like that on a small screen. So I plugged in an HDMI cable to my TV and setup my xbox controller to work it. It worked fine one day for a few hours, then stopped working later that day. So I tried just taking the HDMI cable out, then my controller stopped working. Also my controller randomly disconnecting and reconnecting made me fail Chemistry 1. So I just bought Scholarship Edition on Xbox for $8.99 and so far it's fantastic. It was a lot of unneeded struggle but I regret nothing.

I mean even characters as seemingly one dimensional as Russel, the big dumb softhearted brute had their moments, I mean the man came out with a stolen police bike and crashed his way through a barricade so jimmy could do his thing I’d love to see Jimmy again in a future title, weather it be a sequel or just a cameo. Hell I’d be up to see Jimmy and some of his friends all grown up and still terrorizing assholes in GTA online or GTA-6. I mean could you imagine Jimmy being a white gang leader in the city, Their home base being a beach side clubhouse like when they were still in Bullworth. Characters like Petey being the straight man who keeps everyone grounded and not as violent as they could be, one of the nerds being their man in the chair like Lester, Russel as the human tank, big and scary yet soft hearted muscle of the crew... it could be great if done well

god man i love your videos. You cover like all my favorite childhood games. I used to spend the night at my buddie's house in middle school and play it on his tiny box CRTV

[@MrHammers]

I feed off of nostalgia haha

[@flipdiesel9652]

@@MrHammers I’m the same way. Also love the lofi bedroom AC beat at the end of your vids. You should make a spooky AC for the GameCube video at some point

[@MrHammers]

My favorite discovery in Bully was unlocking the Vespa scooter from the carnival and having it as my default in every single bike race.

This game is definitely my favourite of all time , played it on ps2 , ps3 , wii, ps4 and Xbox 360 , this deserves at least a remake or a sequel it’s such a hidden gem and it’s universally loved , please rockstar make it happen

The game has tons of "Heart" a concept that is challenging to quantify like "camp" or "kitsch" it simulacrum of a something that was never quite real and somehow more real than the current version of reality we live in. The game had a profound message for me about the power of labels and we can choose to embrace the labels or stand in defiance of them as the title BULLY canis canem edit (dog eat dog) evolkes the metaphor of the snake eating its tail in the end our actions are what define us.

A truly timeless game. Came out before i was even born and is still one of if not my favourite game

32:48 I actually would have watched a 4 hour video on this game from you. I'm a new subscriber of yours and your work is top notch.

[@MrHammers]

Thank you! That's super kind

I hear the greatness of Shawn Lee’s beats.

Idk why but the overall feeling of bully reminds of good will hunting and dead poets society and scent of a woman

[@MrHammers]

It's those new england town vibes

[@arhickernell]

We need a Bully 2 in college!

[@imlerith1800]

Hammers, you're killing it, brother! Your videos are top notch and the games you review are too! Manhunt, Majora's Mask, Bully, The Warriors, etc. you have an amazing catalog of videos, I've been binge watching your content for the past few days. Keep up the great work, buddy! :)

[@MrHammers]

Thank you my dude. Super glad you like the videos, you got good taste in games! Haha

[@jonathanchin3396]

Grand Theft Auto is my favorite gaming series but I absolutely adore Bully, nicely done.

[@PikminandOatchi]

It's a strange thing but my favourite part of the game is the lawn mowing music. It's just emblematic of the entire games feel for whatever reason.

[@OddimusRhyme]

Love the content 👌 hope to see more from you soon!
