Bully vs High School Life
Bully
Bully is rather controversial simulation/RPG where you play as a mischievous 15-year-old Jimmy Hopkins who is starting at a fictional boarding school in New England, the infamous Bullworth Academy. The game lets you play the role of a bully as you go around the school playing pranks on other students, get into fights, skipping classes, and maybe even kissing the hottest girl at school behind the bleachers.In a dysfunctional school like Bullworth, navigating the social hierarchy isn't an easy task. However, the game is laced with plenty of hilarious moments that lighten the game somewhat. If this sound like fun to you, you should definitely check the game out!
High School Life
High School Life is an interactive story game that might be a bit simplistic. Instead of having a deep and well-hashed-out story, the most you'll be doing in this game is dressing up to meet and flirt with boys, and hopefully, you'll get a date to the school dance, be it Homecoming, Sadie Hawkins, Winter Formal, Valentine’s Day or the actual Prom. You don't get to spend a lot of time in the actual high school setting though, despite being a game titled as "High School Life".The characters in the game aren't very well-designed either. The boys in the game seem to look especially flat-faced and honestly, a bit on the ugly side of things. The "texting a friend" feature is pretty interesting but it would have been nice to have some sort of interaction with your BFF at school, where again, being a high-schooler, you should be spending most of your time at.
High School Life is a pretty shallow version of an interactive story game and hence, is a poor alternative to games like Episodes or Choices, but it might still be enjoyable for some players who like something simple.
