Our hands-on ended with a bike race against the super-proud greasers. They think they're unbeatable, so naturally, we had to grab a bike and prove 'em wrong. Pedaling is done by banging on the X button, while the shoulder buttons cycle through whatever weapons we happened to still have from earlier missions. Lobbing eggs, stink bombs, even throwing punches was fair game in this race through the back alleys - our only concern were the slightly swoopy bike controls, which, as you might expect, handled a lot like riding a bike in GTA.
Bully's not what everyone - particularly its detractors -thought it was going to be. The violence isn't outlandish, the characters perfectly fit any high school parody out there and the music would make Danny Elfman proud - simply put, there's a lot going on and plenty to check out when it ships in October.
