If you have ever been bullied, now is the chance to strike back. Although you will not face your past tormentors, you have a chance to earn as much payback as you can at Bullworth Academy. Adopt the disreputable persona of a 15-year-old delinquent, Jimmy Hopkins, and get ready to terrorize your fellow students. Adopt the structured routine of a boarding school student, albeit with minimal restrictions. Among other activities, you will undertake a variety of missions and errands, develop various skills, and become romantically involved with girls before emerging as either a hero or a miscreant. Although there are no guns in this game, physical violence is achieved using crude weapons like baseball bats and garbage cans, and hand-to-hand combat tactics.
