The Nintendo Wii.
Smooth framrate, quick loads, Widescreen, 480p, good implementation of the Wii's unique controls. Another successful upport.
However reports are coming in from all over that Bully 360 has a bad framerate, numerous audio glitches, frequent freezes, and other signs of a lazy port.
Apparently really easy to get a high gamerscore in though, so not all is lost.
I was pretty impressed with the PS2 Bully, but never owned it. Will probably get the Wii version. Just thought I'd give a heads up to those thinking about picking up the 360 version.

there's plenty of other ancient ports for the wii
Xbox 360, Wii, and PS2 comparison video.
There was some framerate dropping in the 360 version, but it looks so much better with the sharper textures and the addition of some nice shaders. Seeing them all side by side really highlights how much better it looks. Some drops in framerate are probably worth it for not looking like a straight port of a PS2 game.
I don't think it's a ton of fascination. I'm always interested whenever the Wii, a so-called inferior system has a better version of a game than the 360 or PS3 however.
Both "next gen" versions look much the same as the PS2 version. Let me know when they hit $15-20 and I'll consider it.
Then maybe they weren't making it for you in mind, and for those who haven't yet played it. I haven't played it, and I'd much rather play the 360 version with the all new textures and models than the PS2 version given the choice. I'm contemplating picking this up, but Rainbow Six Vegas 2 is also coming out this month.
And you're insane. The 360 version looks a great deal better than the other two.
Ah, see, I disagree with this. For me, a constant framerate, no matter the game or system, has always been so much more important than nice-looking graphics. I am always bummed when I play a 60 fps game and suddenly the framerate drops or skyrockets for a few seconds. Really breaks the immersion for me. I want the games locked at the same framerate the entire time through, and would gladly give up some nice graphic effects to obtain it.
Optimally, I'd have a steady framerate AND good graphics...
It better be more then playable on the 360 as thats the only system Ive got to play it on and a preorder bringing me the game on release.
For me its not a case of re-buying the game, its that I never owned a PS2 to play it on so Im happy to have a shot at a game I thought would have to pass me by.
edit: after watching the posted video Im still psyched
No freezes, no real glitches and a perfectly acceptable port. Frankly, I'd like to see these "reports" and if they appear on anything other than gamefaqs.
Yeah, it was REALLY bad in the intro. Are you sure it in the PS2? I was trying to think if I remember it from that version and I just can't recall.
I'm thinking maybe I'll sell my PS2 copy and put the proceeds towards buying it on either the Wii or 360 saying as I never actually got around to playing it on the PS2 and I haven't unpacked my PS2 since I moved house. I am kinda lazy, I guess.
Oh poor, underappreciated console, when will it be your moment to shine?
Of course, that doesn't have anything to do with the actual thread.
Carry on.

Well it's spot light is over there, it's just to busy counting money to bother with it.
Indeed he is, but the Wii looks surprisingly good. Its almost like a perfect in between of the ps2 and the 360. Especially in the characters, and the big difference is in the scenery textures. Especially if you look at the cobblestone and the entry gate arch.
If all you have is a SDTV I would recommend the Wii version over the 360, but anything HD needs the 360.
Why are people in such denial about this? The Wii, hardware wise, IS inferior by a large measure. It's a FACT.
That doesn't make the console bad, or not worth picking up, it's just how it fucking is. This desperation to pretend the wii hits every single mark without having a flaw is just stupid.
I don't think hardware is relevant when talking about whether a gaming system is inferior or not. The superiority of a system should be measured in units of fun per second (UoF/s) alone. The DS is superior to Deep Blue due to outputing a far higher UoF/s despite (probably, fucked if I know the hardware specs of Deep Blue) not having the same level of number crunching ability.
Seriously, a gaming systems sole reason for existence is to give it's owner fun times. Some people seem incapable of having fun times without big shiny graphics, so i guess for them the Wii would be mildly inferior. For me...the jury is out. The games it has are pretty fun, but the games the 360 (and, fuck, even the PS3 that retarded abortion) also look pretty fun (possibly even incredibly fun, why hello there GTAIV) and it could certainly do with more games. It's a lot cheaper though, so I guess when you graph UoF/s against Financial expenditure per month it probably all levels out. Although when you do that, you suddenly realise that a Toys R Us ball and catching mitt set actually trumps all three systems.
Science is a fickle mistress, arr.
Because power isn't the only thing that some people consider when talking about the consoles. To me, the 360 and the Wii are on equal grounds and neither is better than the other. The 360 is more powerful, but that isn't the only thing I take into consideration.
Edit: Beat'd so bad.
The 360 gets a lazy port of a decent PS2 game, the Wii gets one with a better framerate. Where do I get my party hat?
At the door to your left. Its right next the punch
OT though, Bully was a fun game, but I wouldn't purchase it a second time. If you haven't played it then go ahead and get it.
Do you have to work hard to miss the point?
His entire point, quite clearly, was that the "so-called" inferior hardware of the wii can produce better graphics than the 360. It's not the first time this has been stated by a forumer. *He* isn't talking about the other pros that a console can have. *I* am not talking about the other pros a console can have. The point is to so many wii owners they need to convince themselves that even though they have a great, cheap little console on their hands, that it also slices bread and can out perform the 360 on the graphics front.
And it's stupid.
Lets take a look at the quote again.
"so-called inferior system has a better version of a game than the 360 or PS3 however"
That says nothing about the graphics or the power of the system, just that the over all game is better on the Wii than the 360 or PS3. And the quote above it also says nothing about graphics. You interpreted it as graphics being the only thing discussed when it is pretty apparent that the 360 version is better graphically, but apparently not in the overall gameplay and enjoyment of the game.
Your claim that everyone is missing the point is so very ironic. You should see to that chip on your shoulder, by the way.
Nothing's forgotten, nothing is ever forgotten
Not at all? You sure about that? The implication there is incredibly clear.
That's more of a typo on my part than anything, and for that I apologize. I meant power, and I simply mistyped when I was writing. Read my original comment and it's consistent with what I'm saying.
The implication is that the wii is 'supposedly' an inferior hardware system that is capable of a superior version of a game. If he didn't mean due to hardware, then what the fuck did he mean? That a developer can make a shitty version of a game on one console but a better version of the game on a weaker hardware platform? Well DUH.
Did he mean it as a warning? It's obvious he didn't check anything out about the 360 version. Is the point just that the wii can have a different experience than the other systems?
If so, then call the fucking presses.
I've noticed crappy FPS that was apparently also in the PS2 version and some spoken audio not quite synching up. The FPS lag I noticed was in the Wii video as well tho. The load times are weird too, I'm not sure if they're longer or what but there's something different.
But that's just a comparison to the PS2 version. Can we really say the Wii has a better version? So far all it seems to have is Wii controls and I'd be hard pressed to say that makes the game better whether they were implemented well or not.
I missed it the first time but might give it a whirl through Gamefly.
Not every time I hear about the Wii's inferior-ness is about graphics. I hear it about game play and control issues all the time as well. Since graphics weren't explicitly mentioned, and I already said the 360 had the superior graphics, I took it as a statement on the whole game.
If I was mistaken, however, it wouldn't be the first time.
Indeed it is a duh statement, and exactly, I assume (and yes, I am making an ass out of you and me), what he meant. if you take out the quip about the inferior-ness, the statement reads much easier. He is "always interested whenever the Wii...has a better version of a game than the 360 or PS3" which is true in this case, according to the reviewers. Since I've heard it remarked as inferior in a multitude of ways, it could refer to anything.
Can we call truce and stop making asses out of each other? Theres better things to argue about than whether he was talking about the graphics or the game as a whole.
I'll be getting the Wii version, because frame rate is more important to me than the visuals, the motion controls are apparently really well done, and I don't own a 360.
Fix'd.
