You play as the trashy looking Jimmy Hopkins who is being dumped off at Bullworth Academy so that his newly remarried mother can go on a honeymoon cruise and not have to deal with a miserable kid like you who keeps getting kicked out of schools. I honestly couldn’t stop laughing as soon as I put this game in; the audio is pretty hilariously and mean. You hear nasty comments and insults constantly throughout the game since you are tossed in the middle of the nastiest school around and after a short while it seems to be that it is more like their inner dialogue reaching you as you hear their strange quirks and secrets. It tended to shock anyone around to hear the characters running around threatening and beating up the other characters or even the quick “I’m so good at kissing, I always practice on my arm!” or “Can’t let anyone know I still do that!”. It shouldn’t have surprised me since it comes from Rockstar, the developers/publishers of Grand Theft Auto, so no surprise that you also heal through playing tonsil hockey.
So I originally picked up this game because I heard it had the great feature of you being able to kiss a jock (whom then begs you to never tell anyone) and seeing it on sale for under $5(^-^), I grabbed it for a good laugh. Jimmy, the main character is dumb, easy to manipulate, and doesn’t have much of a neck (odd looking at times) but he does grow on you. After going through some storyline I looked up info on kissing guys in the game and found that luckily you can kiss 6 of them: Trent, Gord, Vance, Kirby, Duncan, and Cornelius. This would be one character of each of the games cliques: Bullies, Preps, Greasers, Jocks, Townies, and Geeks. First off, you need to pass your first art class so that you can unlock the option of trying to kiss anyone. Yeah, I know, but I guess staring at pictures of Miss Phillips (art teacher), awakens something inside you. Unfortunately after that, you still have to finish chapter 1 to kiss anyone beyond Cornelius, which includes kissing some questionable girls(story mode) to unlock some love from the bullies. Once done, you can unlock the ability to give Trent flowers, so that you can interrupt his beating up geeks for a good make out session. The kissing scene full of moans, groans and maybe some ass grabbing, it is typical for other characters walk by, usually staring hard. As more people like you, characters might be openly adoring/envious of you and your make out partner while you exchange saliva. :p I personally wouldn’t give into making out with Cornelius, who looks like Steve Urkel, and saved myself for the angry Trent, since I just couldn’t wait for Gord. As chapters go by you will gain the love of other cliques on campus (and later loose some) and thus be able to snog a new boy. Generally you can skip out on kissing girls except through the story mode and just keep your favorite ‘boyfriend(s)’. Trent after Chapter 1 is yours and during times when you fall out of favor with other groups you can always go back to his loving/bullying arms. No shame in Trent he is probably the most open Bi boy in the game. Trent the Bully - Unlocked after Chapter I - White shirt, blonde hair “Wanna play shirts and skins?” Outside the school beating people up Gord the Prep -Unlocked after Chapter II - Prep shirt, small guy, scarf Talks about clothes and the poor. Outside Prep house or in town in Old Bull Vale, or the carnival Vance the Greaser - Unlocked after Chapter III - Leather jacket, small guy, red hair “Whats buzzin’ Cousin” Autoshop area or in town in Kirby the Jock - Unlocked after Chapter IV - Blue or grey shirt, brown hair Complains and has a huge ego. Gym area or in the football field Duncan the Townie - Unlocked late or after Chapter V - White shirt with orange circle, blonde Likes Grottos and Gremlins(D&D), may flirt with you. In the industrial part of town Cornelius the Geek - Almost always available - Green shirt, tall, black, glasses Talks about math lots. Library or outside school probably being beat up by Trent If you end up going to town, all characters will be spread out in particular parts of town, easy to grab for a quick kiss before you start a mission to boost your stats and health. Fantastically there is the achievement ‘Over the Rainbow’ which you get from kissing ‘gents’ a good 20 times. I did find it interesting that after favoring Gord for a while that Trent and Gord fought frequently. If you kiss a girl then go kiss a guy, if the girl is nearby she might kick him in the groin. I’m unsure if that’s why the guys where fighting or if it was just cause Trent likes to beat up everyone and if any prep is involved in fighting it is likely Gord. At times when respect is rocky you might want to rely on the percentages of respect from the different cliques to figure out who you can make out with. I love how this game has a wide open world that you can travel in and that there are not too many errands (tiny quests) or constant storyline. Once you know your way around the area and how the prefects work the game is pretty fun since everything is up to you. There isn’t much you want to do with different clothes but since money is easy to come by you might as well get an interesting outfit or spend half of the game in a ridiculous costume(though good luck kissing anyone). Overall it was a fun game, though I bought it and played it through strictly because I craved a game with some queerity to it. I can see why people feel it is a classic, it was funny and everyone is a jerk. Except Trent, after you kiss him he pretty much loves you saying things like “This is just like some romance movie”… (Then maybe saves his rep by)… “Uhhhh, I’m such a player” lol. Sure you are Trent, sure you are.
