Canis Canem Edit / Bully: Scholarship Edition Coming To Wii & 360

Called Bully in the US, and Canis Canem Edit (Dog Eat Dog – for all you latin failures out there) in the UK, this game puts you in the shoes of young jimmy hopkins, a new boy at bullworth academy, you have to attend lessons, and achieve certain goals along with trying to get the girls and beating up the nerds and the jocks. Itching powder and slingshots feature heavilly and it was a big hit with the reviewers when it was released for sony’s PS2 a while back, and also with the papers and media who slammed it for its bullying theme.

All in all the game was awesome, and is essentially a school version of Rockstar’s classic GTA series, albeit without guns and ho’s, lets hope the 360 and Wii versions match up, and maybe surpass the original, I for one will definatly be picking up a copy for my 360 when it goes on launch later this year.
