GTA Developer Rockstar Games Releases Bully: The Anniversay Edition For Android And iOS

Rockstar Games is probably best known for titles like GTA and Red Dead Redemption, but the company has also worked on another classic open-world game called Bully. 2016 marks the 20th Anniversary for the game, and Rockstar has provided a special edition that gamers can play on the Android and iOS.

According to Polygon, the game will have all the graphical improvements that came with the 2008 rerelease of Bully: Scholarship Edition. The developers also say that they have adjusted the game to be fit for "high resolution screens." Bully will also have context-sensitive touch controls, physical control support, and it will also allow the use of 3D touch for some other controller actions.

To those fans who haven't played Bully, the game is very much like Grand Theft Auto, but instead of exploring the criminal underworld in modern America, Bully brings players into the fictional town of Bullworth, and they control a student who wreaks havoc in Bullworth Academy. In the game, they control student Jimmy Hopkins as he tries to rise through the ranks of the school, all while trying to avoid trouble with the authorities.

The school element is also kept in as players have to control Jimmy as he tries to keep his grades up as well. In Bully, players get to participate in dissecting frogs in the Biology lab as well as solving problems in English class. What's more, the Anniversary Edition will have an added multiplayer element which lets players compete for who has higher stats in Bullworth.

Long-time players can also upload their old saves by using their Rockstar Games Social Club account, and players will be allowed to save games across devices.

Rise through the ranks of Bullworth in Rockstar Games' Bully: The Anniversary Edition; now available for Android and iOS users for $6.99.
