Just not sure where they would even go with this or how it would be very fun.

I think Bully happened at a time in gaming when it was pretty groundbreaking and unique. I don't think they could recapture that.

Upon replaying Bully as an adult, it felt like it was a good story built atop a lot of mediocre mini-games.

Sorry - I really loved the game when I was young so this was hard to admit to myself.

I've loved Bully every time I've replayed it. Not because of the gameplay, certainly - it hasn't aged well. But the story, characters, and ambience of the town was indeed unique and remains so. I can't think of another game since that's similar in tone.
