That's a fair BBC report though - they played a prerelease version and note that the focus of the game is on defeating bullies and you can't simply embark on an orgy of violence against everyone (tragically, it seems so). They raise questions about some of the violence and let the creators answer. It seems very reasonable. Hooray!

im in New York at the moment, its just dropped.

Got a multiregion ps2 so I wil grab this.

I hear the title has changed? I got some bully promo stickers here.

.::: It's called Canis Canem Edit over here, although I think the entire forum is still in the Nile about it.

Wow. Another review: 10.0 from 1up. I'm a bit suspicious of the score, given that the game's had heavy advertising coverage on the site for a week.

But still, from the review text it does look like it's definitely worth checking out. I just hope the mini games aren't as shite as they look:

Bully mentioned on Prime Minister's Questions today. The MP made it sound like the end of civilisation, as per any game that sounds slightly suspect. Tony Blair did the old "I haven't seen this game, but..." sort of response. Bleh. And yes, it was referred to as "Bully" which I assume shows the MP was slightly out of touch.

It was everyone favourite game trasher as well, Keith Vaz. That guy annoys me. His problem seemed to be the 15 cert it was given

To be honest I had it on the radio in the background, didn't realise it was Keith Vaz. Didn't he spearhead some campaign against Manhunt?

He did. When some kid was knifed, he claimed (as did the family) that the murderer trained on Manhunt, and that twisted him. Turned out that the victim was the one who owned the game and it seems the crime was drug related.

Another nicely handled piece from the BBC today on Currys and Dixons not stocking this

Nice to see them actually having a relaistic and balanced perspective on this.

BTW, having seen the video review on IGN, preorder placed.

Hmm, I guess I'm just not getting it - it doesn't sound particularly interesting at all, and I can imagine a lot of filler. Could be wrong, mind, and I've never enjoyed the GTA series, so not one for me.

Wasn't this meant to come out on the Xbox, though? When did it become a PS2 exclusive?

Aren't nearly all of Rockstar's games bar Table Tennis ps2 exclusives?

Keith Vaz has GOT to be on the Rockstar payroll, surely. Nobody would make themselves look like such a publicity-generating moron for free.

Remember that he was involved in some scandal or other and was nearly thrown out of the party, he has made videogames his enemy as part of a moral crusade to make up for his discretions.

He is our Jack Thompson.
