Most indications seem to suggest that 'Bully' doesn't involve merrily killing teachers and then leaving a trail of bloody footprints afterwards. But these days I don't think a game in that setting HAS to be quite as violent or overt to be controversial.
From what the developers seem to indicate, the game involves at worst playing violent pranks and shooting things with a slingshot. The motivation for much of this activity is revenge, and there's plenty to revenge yourself on as the characters' school is rife with cruel cliques.
It will take no leap at all for people to draw parallels between this fictional school and many real ones which are also rife with cruel cliques. And the number of school shootings we've been having lately is encouraging some people to overcompensate in the other direction. They will undoubtedly assert that this game encourages violent retaliation against those who just socially snub you. They may even be right.
It DOES involve shooting guns (albeit potato-firing ones) and setting off explosives near people. But to be fair, most courts have completely thrown out the idea that there is any content in the game more egregious than what already appears on TV. Still, I think some would distinguish between a game which involves PARTICIPATING in such acts and TV which just involves seeing them.

You mean Bully? It's pretty mild from what I hear. After GTA with it's screwing hookers and then basing their brains in with a baseball bats to get your money back, the genre of shock video games is pretty much done.
