Rockstar Games have released the first teaser trailer of their upcoming controversial prep-school title – Bully.

Scheduled for release in October 2006, The PS2 exclusive title (Xbox version apparently cancelled) doesn’t look to be half as bad as the media built it up to be. Anti-game activist Jack Thompson even went as far as labeling Bully a "Columbine simulator" despite never actually having seen the game or knowing its concept.

Rodney Walker, a spokesman for Rockstar Games, told Reuters: "Finally Bully can speak for itself. People can look at the game and see what it is and what it’s not".

The teaser trailer doesn’t give much away on the gameplay mechanics, But still manages to shed some light on the concept of the game.
