Yet they are still selling GTA:LCS, The Warriors, 187 Ride or Die, Yakuza, Reservoir Dogs and Scarface amongst others. How does that tie in with their "family-friendly image"?

The controversy is totally unwarranted. It's a really harmless game, although there are zero sympathetic characters. (Well, okay, I thought the Yum Yum Market owner seems like a decent guy. But that's it.)

It's reminding me a lot of Schooldaze too, and you have to go to classes and be back by a certain time every night or you'll pass out. I got this today and haven't had any time for mindless violence in it yet.

funky music is right! i'm thoroughly enjoying this.
things that are great: the musty detail of the school & town. maybe my eyes are burned after playing vice city stories but this looks great. the blend of 50s/60s and contemporary visual elements is seamless.
i love that your character is a scrappy little bastard. he's the shortest guy in the game, so funny. the clothes all look great. (playing with dolls lol)
the writing and voice acting are as good as rockstar have ever gotten -- which isn't saying much, tbh. i have daydreams about rewriting the cutscenes from these games so that they have actual humor and speed and dramatic punch. but, not bad. the random shout outs are often very funny.
the tasks are all interesting, and i like that there is a clock that matters: there are dozens of things you could be off doing, but you aren't completely free (until you get all the classes done) ... and you get tired and pass out after 2am! the change of the seasons looks great, too.
that said: i'm really sick of the hidden item search/reward dynamic in these games. whenever i pick something up and see the "x/265 collected!" msg at the bottom of the screen my heart sinks a little.

pretty fun, definitely like gta in that you can pick it up and put it down whenever.
― bnw, Thursday, 17 April 2008 19:52 (sixteen years ago) link
really? I didn't find that at all. Having to go back to your dorm every five minutes to sleep, hardly anything else to do other than the main missions which are littered with cut scenes and awkward button pressing arrangements. A loading time for almost every building you walk into.

OTM
That and the fact that it never really felt like a place you wanted to explore. I disliked the fact that you couldn't climb properly.
That said, I did enjoy it as a kid's version of GTA.
― hyggeligt, Friday, 18 April 2008 10:10 (sixteen years ago) link
It also had an orrible colour scheme, all washed-out and drab. It's not Liberty City so give us some pretty graphics.
― Ste, Friday, 18 April 2008 10:48 (sixteen years ago) link
It was a nice enough rental, but I'm glad I didn't buy it.
― polyphonic, Friday, 18 April 2008 16:26 (sixteen years ago) link
Definitely disagree with this... I loved the greens and blues in this game. In fact I think that Rockstar nails colors in virtually all of their games, except GTAIII-- Vice City, San Andreas, Bully, and The Warriors all had amazing palettes.
― Will M., Friday, 18 April 2008 16:59 (sixteen years ago) link
GTAIII was pretty cool looking for its time.
― polyphonic, Friday, 18 April 2008 18:48 (sixteen years ago) link
bully pretty obviously didn't go for up-to-the-minute photorealism, it had a grainy 70s-cinema kind of look, which fit the animal house/porky's thematic feel. i wish more games did stuff like that, made each world recognizable in a novelistic kind of way, instead of getting all bonered out over water reflection fx and framerates and that kind of shit.
the visuals in this game were great, it's the gameplay that was weak. it had the most detailed hand-to-hand fighting engine of any of the gta games (grappling! combos!), but nothing you come up against is that hard. coulda been double dragon + a sierra game, but nooo.
like i said upthread, i'd kill to rewrite the dialogue.

So far, it's OK -- yeah, probably best as a rental, but too late for me. Been playing only an hour at a time; the first big mission (where I have to escore a fat kid past bullies to the women's bathroom) is a pain. Had fun pulling the fire alarm in my dorm and spraying the kids running around w/ a fire extinguisher and then fighting them all off.
