At first glance Canis Canem Edit (Bully in the U.S.) can not distinguish from the recent series of Grand Theft Auto, en there is one significant "but" - not every one of us was a bandit, but we all learned in school. Therefore, once in a familiar environment, instantly imbued with the rules of the game. Especially since we are the hero on an equal footing - Jimmy Hopkins gets in Bulvortskuyu academy at the same time with the player. Weakly to unlearn years in a boarding school?

 | The Catcher in the Rye |
It is not known whether the developers were inspired by Bully games Skool Daze and Back to Skool, that go out back in the eighties to "Spectrum". But do not go against the truth - the number of parallels in the gameplay between these simulators hooligans exceeds all reasonable limits. I will not repeat itself, just refer you to a column in the 219-th issue of "Land of the Games." Of course, much Bully borrows from a series of Grand Theft Auto. If you are interested in literature, read the book "The Catcher in the Rye" by Jerome D. Salinger, whose hero, Holden Koulfild, very reminiscent of Jimmy Hopkins. One can also recall the Soviet book on a similar theme: "Republic SHKID" Gregory White and Leonid Panteleyev. Incidentally, the "Russian trace" in the game can not be excluded, because the lead mission designer name is Sergey Kupreyanov.Think, from the soundtrack (unanimously applaud the composer Shawn Lee!) Variation on the theme song "We're going, we rush" and "fried chicken, chicken guy"? In general, the cultural context of traditionally rich - Other allusions are looking for themselves.

Extracurricular activities While the clock ticks regularly from eight am until two nights, the seasons are not on the calendar, as well as the execution scene jobs. Some of them are always available, others only at certain times of day, but autumn is not replaced in the winter, and winter - spring, until you complete all the missions the next chapter. And no liberty in the grip of the plot - if this chapter are protecting nerds from the bullies crush bespectacled wonks will not give. Such strictness helps authors weave a thorough history, illustrates how the environment sculpts of the protagonist hooligan. Outside class hours teachers appear in a different light. Fizruk sends Jimmy for "their" dirty laundry ... the women's hostel (in fairness, we note that flighty girls and panties throw themselves where not getting).

Training aids ... Or maybe not - after all we have to watch largely of Jimmy and other characters, but about the motives can only guess. But however you interpreted the behavior of the heroes of the game, the plot takes a nerve of anyone who went to school. Cases are very vital and only slightly exaggerated satirical magnifying writers. The gameplay also gets to the point - turning the player into a teenager, the authors gradually give him all the joys, of which only can dream of a schoolboy of fourteen years. Tucked under the tree the apple, it can chew, but you can zashvyrnut away. In winter, the snow easily molded snowballs! Becoming the owner of a skateboard, Jimmy will be able not only to drive on it "self-feed, but also clings to cars. And at the very beginning of the second chapter, when the hero finally released to the city gate is waiting for a bike.

And - on a snowy road, through the humpbacked bridge and down a hill - woo-hoo! At such moments seemed to sink into the game, you feel like waking up inside the child and begins to moan: "I want my sword, I want to Budenovka, I want a bicycle!".
Sabres in Bully there, but the rulers, batons and a bit of croquet - the dam. You can thrash the enemies even though a fire extinguisher. Arsenal, though, and no guns and tanks, menacing and varied - from a slingshot with a telescopic sight to the bottle rocket launcher and kartofelemeta that will be given a hero thankful Botany. Have to fight a lot - at least on the subject, as well as walks through the territories of hostile parties.
Budenovok in stores Bulvort City is also not delivered, but without them the lack of outfit is not felt. The most drastic and ridiculous of them are free of charge, often unexpectedly. Ran forty kilometers - get shorts runner. Have fun on Halloween - costume skeleton can keep. Not fulfilled the task on a few lessons - here's a silly hat, the carrier's health.
Girls, by the way, do not like guys in fancy suits.

Theoretically, the wearing of "hazing" clothing is a violation of the rules, but in practice, "school police" turn a blind eye to it - Dress as you like. But in other cases to be reckoned with - which is nice, not only to you. Custody order in exactly the same separate and other bullies, and sometimes even helping you to perform another task.

Prodlenka On the one hand, the game world lives by itself: in the morning all the students run to class in the evenings in the corners of kissing couples, dormitory bullies throw eggs and bully the weak. On the other, in Bulvortskoy Academy and its surroundings the hero is always a something to do, even if not to hurry the plot to move. Citizens and students are literally thrown to Jimmy with a variety of concerns: mladsheklassnitsa wants him placed a pretty boy in the locker chocolates (slashing lock); homeless old man sends the hero to look for pills of all trash tanks, police are asked to help get rid of the roof of a gas station smokers. You can engage newsboy or mowing lawns, to take part in races or try carnival rides. Even just to be worn around town, opening a new hiding places, finding a secret hole in the fences, fire escapes and trees, which can get into, very, very nice. Bully gives us a chance for a few hours to re-live school days, and possibly catch up.
| Expert opinion |
 | Ilia Chentsov - The word dream in English has two meanings - "Dream" and "Dream." So, for me was the dream game Bully in both these senses. Like Grand Theft Auto, Bully assists in the implementation of hidden, or not come true at the time of desires, but unlike GTA, is not necessarily criminal. I want to neubivaemy great! |  | Artem «cg» Shorokhov - The main advantage - an unusual "vovlekaemost" (from the last game of this level distigla unless Gun); Canis Canem Edit is not enchant except those who are altogether alien to the school of romance. Another thing is that nostalgia for disruptive childhood - a lot of adults uncles with a beard and tie.But whether it is necessary pioneers with knapsacks? |  | Marina Petrashko - The story of how not to. How not to behave with their children, students, peers, friends and those who are younger. Handbook for Learning from others' mistakes. Social provocation in the story of an innocent adolescent behavioral problems. "Clockwork Orange" in computer games, a slap to Senator Thompson. |  | Sergei Tsilyurik - Too much superficial. Lock the doors of schools to limit the number of students and "powers", give each personality and the ability to have personal opinions about Jimmy, who do not forget to a day or two - to give real freedom! That's when it would be something similar to "simulator student" rather than «GTA for minors." |
