Rockstar Games' Bully has been the subject of controversy since it was first announced more than a year ago. The game shipped to retail last week after a failed 11th-hour attempt by Florida lawyer Jack Thompson to have it banned. However, the controversy surrounding the game might not be over with just yet. In navigating the angst-filled halls of Bullworth Academy as 15-year-old Jimmy Hopkins, players can participate in some extracurricular tonsil hockey with significant others. But while these significant others are typically female, there's at least one other boy in the game whom Jimmy can successfully court, as documented by this in-game video from GameBrink. The Entertainment Software Rating Board surprised some people last month when it issued a T-for-Teen rating for the game. The content descriptors listed for the game on the ESRB's Web site are crude humor, language, use of alcohol and tobacco, violence, and sexual themes. When asked about the boy-on-boy make-out sessions, the ESRB told GameSpot, "That content was considered in the assignment of the rating." Thompson addressed ESRB president Patricia Vance in an e-mail he claimed to have sent to "every major news organization in America and the UK," as well as a host of lawmakers and industry representatives. "Dear Ms. Vance," Thompson wrote, "We just found gay sexual content in Bully, as Jimmy Hopkins makes out with another male student. Good luck with your 'Teen' rating now, Patty." A representative from Bully publisher Take-Two had not responded to a request for comment as of press time. Wow, thompson is sure grasping at straws now. I didn't know kissing needed a worse then rating then teen Oh wait, it's boy on boy kissing, IS DA DEVIL!!!! Logged

As for the boy-on-boy kissing, I don't see why that's any worse than a 'teen' rating. Not like there's an explicit content in there. Logged

Ricky, play before you judge. Bully is fantastic. I think he's basing that off of every other game that RockStar made. GTA, GTA2, GTA3, GTAVC, GTAA, GTASA, GTALCS and GTAVCS. All they make are the medicore GTA games that every casual gamer plays because they can be a criminal, and overshadows great games that go almost completley unnoticed. I think the gaming world would be better off without RockStar and their crappy games, but I don't think they should be banned for content like Jack does. If Jack was sayng they're evil because their games suck I'd back him up, but he's having a shitfit because RockStar sells a product that has and warns the buyer about the content that may not be appropriate for kids.

Yea, however, I may still haven't played Bully - but I already know what's it about (And that's enough for me), I mean... what's the fun in being a bully - they're all block-heads, and think they're the best - until they get their ass-kicked (and really, that rules xD - oh, the nostalgia xP)

Dat ain't good, yo. Rockstar makes kick-ass games with an actual and clutching story. You should really check out some games, you're gonna like it, believe me. Edit: Dude, just for YOU, I made this little banner. FOX-APPROVED! Rated C for Kool. The FA-Banner tells you that this product is worth to be checked out.
