Jack Thompson probably was a bully in school....

Video games come under so much criticism it's ridiculous. Jack Thompson, the 2nd biggest D-bag according to screwattack, claims this game turns children into bullies. unfortunately, jack, the attention-wanting, video game hating old man probably never even plays these games.

But I can understand. in the hands of a Copy-cat gamer, this game would be dangerous. in the hands of a casual or hardcore gamer, this game is safe as a seatbelt.

The days get worse for Jimmy Hopkins, a 15 year old boy who gets dropped off at bullworth academy, after his mom and his new step-dad go on a year long cruise for their honeymoon. Bullworth is stated as a great educational institution, but as jimmy finds out, it's just like a prison for kids. several different types of kids have their places. the Nerds have the library, the greasers have the garage, the jocks have the gym and football fields, and the rich and preppy kids have the cafeteria, i think. jimmy doesn't really fit in with any of the places, and throughout the game, he has several different missions to go to, and classes to go to.

I only got this game last night, and already, it has proved to be very fun. this makes school look like a fun place to learn, but filled with bullies in the hallways. for example, in English, The player plays a game of boggle, and in chemistry, the player plays a rhythm game in which he or she has to hit the buttons on their controller as they scroll across the screen, and so on and so forth.

Bottom line, this game might look like a bad influence on anyone, but really, thats what parents are for. they're supposed to watch what their kids play. and if you're a parent, and you think this game is bad for your 11 year old kid, then don't buy it for them. but as soon as they turn whatever age the rating is, then you have no control over it. but even then, watch them play.
