Cons
Con Frequent crashes to desktop
It will consistently crash to desktop (CTD) about every 15-30 minutes. It does not make any difference if you attempt to set compatibility to XP SP3, limit CPU affinity to core 0, or even set "run as admin", either.
Rockstar's apparent solution, other than releasing a v1.3 patch, is for you to limit your entire system's usable RAM to 1GB. Which you obviously can't do on any Windows OS beyond XP without incurring a BSOD loop.
Con Terrible performance years after release
Notable drops in framerate during the Chemistry and Music minigames, on machines well above the recommended hardware many years after release.
Con 30 FPS cap
Bully: SC is limited to running at 30 frames per second.
Con Uses stick-based gesture gameplay even when mouse is in use
The game was not updated to show icons for mouse and keyboard controls, leaving the port showing analog stick control tutorials in the game, even if they are not being used at all.
Con Doesn't work on modern Android
Crash loop.
Con Costs too much money
Con Subpar gameplay
The gameplay often times feels convoluted or just too high concept. Art in the place of gameplay, which some may enjoy, but those looking for deep game mechanics should look elsewhere.
