Bully Acting Up Quite a Bit on 360; Rockstar “Horrified”

But the ever vigilant members of [Only registered users can see links. ] noticed an inordinate number of people complaining about the game freezing up and crashing, which has drawn quite a bit of attention.
In addition to freezes, players were complaining about audio problems and a poor framerate – this is absolutely inexcusable, especially when you consider that this is essentially a port of a PlayStation 2 game.
1UP’s [Only registered users can see links. ] made a brief mention of the lockups, stating, “Perhaps worst of all, we had several instances where the game froze midmission, and since you can’t save at any moment it sometimes necessitated replaying a significant amount of the game.”
Rockstar’s Sam Houser issued a comment on the situation to [Only registered users can see links. ], which reads:

We have just become aware of the issues people are having with Bully Scholarship Edition on Xbox 360. It appears that some older 360s are experiencing framerate issues, freezes and other problems. You have our word that we never experienced any of this in QA - in any of our offices or at Microsoft. I am horrified, and we are now working around the clock to rectify this situation. Thanks to Neo-Gaf for bringing this matter to our attention. We love our games and put a huge amount of energy and care into making them all that they can be. We would never shove anything out the door - we never have and never will. We apologise to everyone affected for the inconvenience. Respectfully, Sam Houser

Until this is rectified or we get further details on this, a purchase is definitely on the backburner for the time being. We’ll keep you posted on any further developments.
