Im surprised they is not a topic of this fantastic game. Either you got it for the Xbox 360 or Ps2. they both the same story and gameplay, Jsut scholarship edition has better graphics and more classes

This is a Brilliant game made by Rockstar, Think of it as a Grand Theft auto for Teenagers (though kids seem to play GTA4 nowadays..) But it was Brilliantly made cause you have the same sort of style as gta only its based around a private school (i think its private..) Its basicly a Academy but has all those high school sort of troubles like bullies,preps,jocks,nerds and greasers. you play as Jimmy Hopkins a 15 year old kid who been expelled from a ton of other schools, his mother who recently got married is having a year honeymoon with Jimmy's new stepfather. They both dont treat Jimmy with much respect and drop him of at a random school. Start the epic journey of Hell (forgive my use of the word) But technology it is a terrible place for kids who are ill prepared, though Jimmy can protect himself. He has all of the school uncaring to him at first and you would most likely get pushed around by bullies and jocks. But onto gameplay, its pretty much alike GTA only the fighting is.. pretty much the same except there is little new things you could do. Ofcourse you cant go run around the school grounds punching random people.. cause the Prefects who are like the guards of the grounds would bust you and send you to either the nurse or the principal. but if you get busted and sent to the principal more then twice you got to do some work for the school before your free again. Anywho you go around the game doing missions, starting with your little group which is Gary. and Peaty.. or whatever its spelt, But i wont discuss their personalities as its more fun to experience it yourself. But you do missions and such around the school for some people and you gain respect for their group. but lose respect for another. such as if you help the nerds, the bullies will hate ya. And now onto the classes, you have to take two classes a day.. Well you dont HAVE to as you can try skipping out. but this will make the prefects wary and will go after you if they see you. their sight system is like Metal gear solid with the whole minigame and cone (view of sight) and now you have classes which are like science,english,photography,Shop,Gym,Art and others i have forgotten.. and also you got more in the scholarship edition which i dont have so i wont know. you gain bonuses if you pass the class such as new equipment or bonuses to your social. Social is brilliant as you can make friends/enemy's and even lovers. as everyone has their own name in the school which you will find out once you pass photography enough to get the photo album. most of the time it wont matter, but lovers do stick around and would accept a kiss with you if you gave em flowers/chocolate in the past, it all pends really. and lastly since im going on and on and probably wont stop. is the school grounds is BIG you can run aro und outside and inside.. you also get equipment such as a slingshot,firecrackers,stink bombs. and skateboard and in future you get bikes and other useful equipment

Overall this game is Brilliant and in my opinion a real good replacement for GTA as you cant really kill people, you can knock em out but not kill, its alot safe. though there is minor swears and such its not really for kids.. but Its really fun and enjoyable for all ages. I would suggest anyone to play this game. Infact im going to go play right now after i sudmit this topic so i hope i didnt bore you with my little information of the game, and if anyone else knows of the game please do reply but if you got spoilers then PLEASE use the spoiler tag.
