'''Bully''', also known as '''Canis Canem Edit''', is a third person action-adventure video game released by [[Rockstar Vancouver]] for the [[PlayStation 2]]. The game was released as '''Bully: Scholarship Edition''' for the [[Xbox 360]], Wii and [[Personal Computer|PC]]. Bully: Scholarship Edition was released by Rockstar Vancouver, with [[Rockstar New England|Mad Doc Software]] (now known as Rockstar New England), involved with the development. The game uses an advanced [[Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas]] engine through [[Renderware]]. | |||
The game follows the story of fifteen year old troublemaker Jimmy Hopkins. | |||

Similarly to the [[Manhunt]] series, it is possible that Bully takes place in the same "universe" as the [[Grand Theft Auto]] games, based on a few small references in both Bully and [[Grand Theft Auto IV]] that link the two: | |||
*Bullworth Academy, the main setting of Bully, appears briefly in an episode of [[I'm Rich]] in GTA IV, where it is shown as being one of fifteen "exclusive boarding schools" [[Jill Von Crastenburg]] was sent to. [[Kayla Paulo]] also attended Bullworth Academy. | |||
*In the opening cutscene for the Shop class in Bully, a [[3D Universe]] [[Stallion]] can be seen being repaired. The car has a similar paint job to the [[Diablo Stallion]] (but lacks the hood-mounted supercharger). | |||
*Several cars that can be found around Bullworth are similar (but not identical) to vehicles from the 3D Universe, like the [[Washington]], the [[Police Rancher]], the [[Regina]], the [[Yankee]] and the [[Boxville]]. | |||
*The mission [[Vinewood Souvenirs - Tyler]] in [[Grand Theft Auto V]] has a secondary objective called ''Weed Killer'', which is the name of a mission in Bully. | |||
