Bully: Anniversary Edition is an action-adventure game that places players in the role of Jimmy Hopkins, a rebellious teenager navigating life at Bullworth Academy. The game offers an open-world environment where players attend classes, complete missions, interact with characters, and explore school and town locations. The game’s mix of story-driven missions and side activities creates a dynamic schoolyard experience filled with humor.

Bully: Anniversary Edition blends structured missions with open-world exploration, combining third-person action and role-playing. Players attend classes, complete mini-games, build relationships, and influence others through choices, creating a lively, immersive school environment with a unique, playful atmosphere.

Unleash chaos at Bullworth Academy

The game’s core revolves around exploring Bullworth Academy and completing missions that involve pranks, fights, and social challenges. Attending classes like English and Chemistry unlocks useful skills and mini-games, while side quests encourage interaction with students and faculty. The variety of activities ensures gameplay remains fresh and engaging throughout the story, offering plenty of opportunities for creativity, strategy, and character development in a vibrant school setting.

The game presents a stylized but detailed world with vibrant environments that reflect the quirky, sometimes chaotic atmosphere of school life. Character animations and voice acting enhance the narrative, giving personality to each student and teacher. The soundtrack and ambient sounds complement the setting, adding depth and authenticity to the immersive experience, making every corner of Bullworth feel alive and engaging.

Despite its strengths, Bully: Anniversary Edition has some drawbacks. The controls can feel clunky on mobile devices compared to traditional consoles, occasionally affecting gameplay fluidity and responsiveness. Additionally, the open-world design may sometimes lead to repetitive tasks that reduce long-term engagement, and the graphics, while charming, show signs of aging in certain areas, especially when viewed on modern high-resolution screens and larger displays.
