Outside of missions, the player can freely roam the game's open world, and has the ability to complete optional side missions. Players complete missions-linear scenarios with set objectives-to progress through the story. Throughout the story, Jimmy rises through the ranks of the school groups, archetypes which include Bullies, Nerds, Preppies, Greasers, and Jocks.


The game's single-player mode lets the player control a high school student-teenage rebel James "Jimmy" Hopkins.

Bully is an action-adventure game set in an open world environment and played from a third-person perspective.
