Has anyone heard about this game yet? It sounds and looks sooo cool. It comes out October 17th. Check it out!
QUOTE
You play as Jimmy Hopkins, a boy who is sent to Bullworth Academy because his mother wants to spend time with her new boyfriend and doesn't want Jimmy to be involved. So basically in the game there are 6 groups of people in the game, Nerds, Preps, Bullies, Jocks, Townies and Greasers.
It has it's own schedule like a real school does, you go to classes and the classes are mini-games, you go to the classes and you can upgrade your skills, Gym Class for example can help increase your fighting skill or toughness.
The game is roughly 40+ hours, and is huge. There are 5 chapters in the game, Chapter 1 is a 6-8 hour tutorial and when you go to Chapter 2, you can do whatever you want.
There is no blood or killing in the game, there is Stink Bombs, Cherry bombs etc. You can also pull the fire alarm which is funny, if you are caught doing evil things such as using these weapons or skipping classes often you will get punished, either by Mowing the lawn, Shoveling Snow in the winter time etc.

17 October 2006, 03:40 UTC#4

tbh the last thing I want to do when I get home from scool is play a virtual game of school. if theres no real escape in that you cant shoot people Image file not present in the recovered backup or whatever, whats the point?

it's about the entertainment and gameplay value, it's rockstar. they only make the best games.
17 October 2006, 13:04 UTC#8
Yeah, that's true. But it would be a lot better if they made it more vulgar, if at the least, as far as the dialogue goes. High schoolers cuss, a lot, why present it like they don't? There's not a lot of violence in most Prep Schools, so I don't see why they would make it that way, but the language is a must for realism. I'll be waiting for this to come out on Xbox, PS2 is second place to the Box in my heart.

Cant wait for this game,the trailers looks awesome.
And as adem said,rockstar rules
17 October 2006, 18:44 UTC#10
hopefully going with T0M today to get this should be sweeeeeeeet
17 October 2006, 19:28 UTC#11
I'll probably buy this when it's $20, since not many games are worth $50.
17 October 2006, 19:31 UTC#12
An interesting concept. I sold my PS2 to Vince though.
17 October 2006, 20:42 UTC#13
I like the sound of this game, though a lack of blood and gore is a dissapointment...
18 October 2006, 03:14 UTC#14
I got the game today and played it for like 3 hours straight. It's fun. Just like GTA besides the stealing cars and killing. Controls are just like it, you can deffantly tell it's a ROCKSTAR game. I <3 this game though.
18 October 2006, 04:08 UTC#15
it's on my gamefly list to send next.
18 October 2006, 08:43 UTC#16
yeah I was on the phone wiht T0M for a little while he was playin this, and it sounds like a really sweet game.
18 October 2006, 10:32 UTC#17
wow the trailers look kickass. this looks like hours of fun, I think I may have to get this....
20 October 2006, 23:35 UTC#18
Rockstar should be working on the next GTA
20 October 2006, 23:37 UTC#19
They are.
20 October 2006, 23:38 UTC#20
They just released a new game for PS2 didn't they? Vice City Stories? I think?
20 October 2006, 23:45 UTC#21
I wouldn't consider the stories games new GTAs, I was talking about GTA4 they're working on.
21 October 2006, 00:13 UTC#22
Since we're unofficially making this the 'Rockstar shoulda-woulda-coulda" thread, Rockstar should release one more Max Payne.
21 October 2006, 00:17 UTC#23
Yeah! And they should do another Manhunt! I need even more graphic killing than the first one could provide.
Edit- And some add-on to The Warriors, that game rocked if you missed it.

A PS3 Manhunt would be fucking great. They could improve the original so much and put much better atmospheric effects in.
21 October 2006, 00:20 UTC#25
That game was unsettling enough on the PS2, add the PS3 abilities and a dark room with surround sound and that's a hell of a scary experience.
21 October 2006, 00:47 UTC#26
I rented bully today, it's nothing fantastic, it seems like they just needed to put out something to hold us over for GTA4, however it's still fun and amusing.

Worth the full-price money?
21 October 2006, 01:43 UTC#28
it's worth 20 bucks.
21 October 2006, 02:18 UTC#29
