A music composer has made the first mention of a sequel to Rockstar's notorious Bully, claiming he is working on the music to a new addition of the school-based rebellion simulator. Shawn Lee composed the music for the original game, and recently said in an interview that a follow up is on the way.
"It looks like I will be doing the soundtrack for Bully 2 in the not so distant future," claims Lee.
Bully sold reasonably well when it was released on the PS2, and eventually re-released on the Wii and Xbox 360 as Bully: Scholarship Edition. Elements of controversy included the game's title (it was renamed Canis Canum Edit in the UK), the violent content, and the fact that protagonist Jimmy Hopkins can kiss boys, which would obviously cause America to plunge into a cesspool of Hellish immorality, even though it didn't.
A sequel will likely cause just as much trouble, but it'll probably be a lot of fun.

I loved Bully. It was so good and it's such a rarely used setting in the context that Bully used it in. After GTA IV I'm finally really starting to get what Rockstar is capable of. Last gen I wasn't too impressed but Bully was a winner.
I warmly welcome, and already look forward to a sequel.
Bring it on Rockstar
I only played through Bully once, but I tore it up over a weekend. Really excellent game from last generation that doesn't get talked about often.
Praise Rockstar!
And I swear, if you put SecuROM on the PC version...hell to pay!
I loved the first Bully, and I'm sure the second would be just as great as the first one was. You couldn't really kiss boys though, just that one really flamboyant boy. Anyone who's played it knows who I'm talking about.
Also, from a Day 1 360 port player. Test the damn thing before you ship it. Delayed working game > Broken game with an on-time release.
