Bully: Scholarship Edition (available for Xbox 360 and Wii March 4) puts you in the shoes of a newcomer to Bullworth Academy. How you direct this kid's fate is clearly up to you. Would you rather cause trouble and defy authority figures, or try to make the best out of your school years as you attend classes and shape a love life with your girl (or boy) of choice? The decision is entirely up to you.

Each version of Scholarship Edition has specific enhancements. The Wii version makes use of motion controls, particularly with fighting. Say you have to confront kids on the playground who think they're better than you. The controls shift to a similar set-up to the Wii Sports' boxing mini-game, where you swing your left and right arms to hit them and occasionally pull off "power moves" (giving someone a wedgie). Certain mini-games also require the use of the Remote and Nunchuk, such as dissecting a bat and locating states on a map. As for the Xbox 360 version, it features superior visuals, with new lighting effects and sharper character details. It also has various Achievements to add to your Gamerscore.

Four new classes are available, giving Bully's anti-hero an educational push. He can play with his instrument in Music; learn more about the world in Geography; delve into natural science in Biology (that's where the bat dissection comes into play); and number crunch in Math. The order you take these classes – or if you take them at all – is completely up to you.

Along with these four classes, eight additional missions will also be available over the course of the game. The most memorable-looking stage is the Miracle On Bullworth Street, a Christmas tale as only Rockstar Games can tell it. In the game, your young stalwart lends a hand to a drunken Santa, beating up snowmen and getting into fights with elves. Better still, he can dress up as an elf, causing havoc by giving locals wedgies and creating all kinds of anti-Christmas cheer.

In addition, Rockstar added new items and accessories to unlock, such as the elf outfit and other cool little pieces of attire. You'll also find new lines of dialogue that tie into the original story, along with two-player mini-games you can play off-line with a friend. Believe it or not, competitive frog dissecting has more going for it than you might think.

Best of all, both the Wii and Xbox 360 versions will clock in at $50, a more than reasonable price considering the wealth of content. The original Bully is a fun experience, but the addition of new classes, missions and extras makes this new edition worth playing. Expect us to grade it accordingly.
