Bully (originally known as Canis Canem Edit in Europe and Australia) is an action-adventure video game developed by Rockstar Vancouver and published by Rockstar Games. The game was released for the PlayStation 2 in October 2006 and received an enhanced remaster subtitled Scholarship Edition for the Xbox 360, Wii, and Microsoft Windows in 2008. An updated version of the Scholarship Edition, titled Anniversary Edition, was developed by War Drum Studios and was released for Android and iOS on December 8, 2016.

Plot
The game follows a boy named James "Jimmy" Hopkins, who was expelled from many schools and he was moved to Bullworth Academy for a year, and his efforts to rise through the ranks of the school system in order to put a stop to bullying.

Why It Rocks

 * 1) This game has an amazing premise about an expelled student who must have friends in order to stop most of the bullies throughout the academy.
 * 2) The game did at least tried to become a teen-friendly version of Grand Theft Auto, by toning down its mature theme stuff in the game for teenagers who are not allowed to play any Grand Theft Auto game until they're older adults.
 * 3) The game has tons of amazing characters that were well developed, such as:
 * 4) *Jimmy Hopkins is a well-written character, and he has tons of amazing character development. He starts off as a sluggish jerk who got expelled from many schools to the point he moved to Bullworth Academy, and he started to become better by stopping those bullies and became a hero.
 * 5) *Pete is a nice, and also well-written character that he became friends with Jimmy Hopkins, TBA.
 * 6) Amazing soundtrack that was performed by Shawn Lee.

Bad Qualities

 * 1) The final boss with Gary Smith is way too easy,

Controversy
The game came under fire before release for its title and gameplay among parents and educators, who also noted the adult content in previous Rockstar games such as Grand Theft Auto. Groups such as Bullying Online criticized the title for glorifying school bullying, though they ultimately held judgement until its release, causing it to be renamed “Canis Canem Edit” (“Dog Eat Dog” in Latin) in Europe and Australia. You can bully people and pick fights in game, but in the missions and most sidequests, you're bullying on behalf of victims of other bullies.

The game was also banned in Brazil. In April 2008, Brazilian justice prohibited the commerce and import of the game. The decision was taken by judge Flávio Mendes Rabelo from the state of Rio Grande do Sul based on psychological findings by the state psychology society, which claims that the game would be potentially harmful to teenagers and adults. Anyone caught selling the game would face a daily fine of R$1,000.00.
