Bully Play Station 2 Video Game disc PS2 NTSC Used No Case, No Manual

I bought this game at a charity sale, to support flood victims in southern Alberta.

The surface of the disc has some scratching on it. I don't have a playstation to test the game on, but I am able to read parts of it with my PC.

The disc says:

Bully is an action-adventure open world video game set in a school environment. The player takes control of teenage rebel James "Jimmy" Hopkins, who from the opening cutscene is revealed to be a difficult student with a disruptive background. The game concerns the events that follow Jimmy being dropped off at Bullworth Academy, a New England boarding school. The player is free to explore the school campus in the beginning and, later on in the game, the town, or to complete the main missions. The game makes extensive use of minigames. Some are used to earn money, others to improve Jimmy's abilities or get new items.

School classes themselves are done in the form of minigames, broken into five levels of increasing difficulty. Each completed class brings a benefit to gameplay. English, as an example, is a word scramble minigame, and as Jimmy does well in this minigame, he learns various language-skills, such as the ability to apologize to police for small crimes. Chemistry is a button pushing minigame which rewards Jimmy with the ability to create firecrackers, stink bombs, and other items at his chemistry set in his room at the dorm. He can learn new fighting tricks and can play dodgeball in the Gym class. In the Art class, he has to unveil a painting of Ms. Philips, being wary of the bombs and explosives in the minigame. He can make new bicycles in Shop class and has to complete photography missions in Photography classes. In the scholarship edition, four new subjects- Biology, Maths, Music and Geography are added. He has to dissect animals in Biology, solve multiple choice questions in Maths, press the buttons according to the beat in Music and put the flag to its corresponding country in Geography.

Jimmy has a multitude of weapons available, although they tend to run along the lines of things a school boy might actually attain, such as a slingshot, bags of marbles, itching powder, fire crackers, stink bombs, and, later in the game, a bottle rocket launcher and the spud cannon. He can pick up and use various improvised weapons like bats, sticks, or flowerpots. The weapon Jimmy uses the most are his fists and feet; as the game progresses, Jimmy will be able to learn new moves and combos. Fighting is an integral part of the game; each of the game's five chapters culminates in a battle against the leader or leaders of a given clique. Jimmy, however, has a health bar in which if it gets depleted, he becomes knocked out, causing the mission he is doing to fail and Jimmy to be sent to the nearest medical center.

The game incorporates a crime system, similar to the Grand Theft Auto series. Any criminal actions Jimmy commits will raise his heat level by increments instead of the "star system." Some common criminal actions such as fighting and rule breaking has little effect on Jimmy's heat level. Moderate crimes such as theft, vandalism, and usage of weapons will raise his heat level considerably. However, violence against girls, smaller kids, or adults and authority generally has swift and severe consequences. Jimmy can get busted by the prefects, teachers, police and even some townspeople after he commits crimes. If this happens, the mission he is doing automatically fails, and most of Jimmy's weapons are confiscated. Depending on where and when Jimmy gets busted, he gets sent to the headmaster's office (and possibly detention), his dorm room, the classroom with a class in session, the Bullworth Academy front gate, or the police station.

Jimmy also has an assortment of vehicles to operate—mainly a skateboard, but also a motor scooter, a go-kart, a lawn mower (for money, and also to complete a detention and, towards the end of the game, some missions), and various bicycles. By passing shop classes, Jimmy can build increasingly high-performance BMX bikes, and use them in either races or a bike park. The player can alter Jimmy's physical appearance to their liking by purchasing new clothes, haircuts, masks, or even tattoos.
