Great use of the Wii I heard about this game for the PS2 and that it was pretty fun, but since I had never owned a PS2 I had to wait til I got a Wii to buy it. I bought it blindly without ever trying it, just noticing that Rockstar (GTA-maker) had made it and reading a few online reviews.
The game is great. There is so much to do whether you go to class or not. There are tons of missions and minigames as well as just following the actual story, which for me, is impossible to do so far because wandering off and doing what I want can be addicting.
One of the best things about this game is the controls. The game makes great use of the Wii sensor on the Wiimote/nunchuk as you actually use the controllers to punch (think WiiSports boxing) as well as other uses like uppercut punches, shaking to get teachers off of you, shoving a bully, performing tasks in class, etc. It makes the game really interactive and fun.
The availability to interact with most objects is a huge plus, as you can hide in trashcans (from angry teachers or bullies), pull fire alarms, use your chemistry set to make firecrackers, etc., buy pop from a pop machine, hide in lockers/girls' closets... the list is endless.
If you like games with tons of freedom and a great story and you haven't played the original Bully, buy this. The controls are a huge plus too. If you have played the PS2 Bully, I hear it's nearly the same, with a few extra missions and characters.
