Child Welfare Groups Slam Rockstar for Bullying Game

Bully is "no worse than Just William", claims publisher - but expect an adult rating.

Anti-bullying charities have strongly criticised Rockstar's Bully, pointing out that children commit suicide over issues which the game makes light of - but the publisher says it's "no worse than [teatime TV show] Just William". The various anti-bullying organisations in both the UK and North America have spoken out against the PS2 and Xbox title, which focuses on schoolyard bullying and, despite Rockstar's claims about the content, is expected to be rated for adults.
