The first of the game's five chapters comes to a close with Gary showing his true colors and Jimmy getting the leader of the bullies to agree to leave weaker kids alone. So now that the nerds are more or less safe, it's time to move on to the outlying town of Bullworth and a far more irritating clique: the preppies.
When you think "preppie" in Bully, don't think "shops at Abercrombie & Fitch." Think blue-blooded prick who brags nasally about his dad's law firm. Just like the bad guys in Animal House, these phonies are begging to be taken down a few pegs. And you'll get to, because they love to box.
If you liked Punch-Out!!, you'll find Bully 's boxing minigame easy to get used to. Unlike the game's brawling, the boxing has a simple rhythm: just block your opponent's weaker punches, wait for him to telegraph a stronger punch, duck out of the way and slam him with a flurry when his guard is down.
Master that, and you'll find it easy to win the Preppie Challenge mission, a boxing tournament that ends with Jimmy getting his own beach house. Aside from containing a fully 3D arcade game that plays like a simplified WipeOut, the house is useful for when you're in town late at night and just need a quick place to crash. And given that there are bus stops all over town - which take you to school instantly - you don't need to worry about missing classes, either.
