Take-Two Interactive has announced that Rockstar’s previously exclusive PS2-hit, Bully, will grace the current-generation of consoles, with Bully: Scholarship Edition making its way to the Xbox 360 and Nintendo Wii.
Bully was well received by critics and gamers alike, despite the game’s pre-launch debacle involving anti-gaming lawyer Jack Thompson. Also known as Canis Canim Edit to those outside of the United States, Bully centers around one teenager’s descent into the clique-infested Bullworth Academy.
Additional details on graphical/gameplay upgrades seem mum, with confirmation only that there will be additional content. A release window of Winter 2007 was announced as well.
