Bus Driver Simulator

My final rating might surprise you, but personally, I have to say that despite the shortcomings I mentioned, I had fun playing it. Of course, if you’re looking for a reliable, high-quality bus simulator, Astragon’s Bus Simulator series will give you a much better sense of what it’s like to be a driver. However, if you just want to put your feet up and are looking for a casual, relaxing game, Bus Driver Simulator can keep you entertained for a while. Personally, though, I recommend waiting for a sale, as the price of €24.99 is simply too high given the quality of the game, and for the same or a similar price, the competition is several tiers above this title.

Bus Driver Simulator deserves some appreciation for its attention to detail, but the details are pretty boring in this case. It doesn't help that the gameplay is cumbersome and glitchy, and the visuals are dated and drab. Unless you're really into slow drives through PS2-era depictions of European cities, take the Desert Bus instead. At least then it's for charity.

Oh man, I do try to be open minded about games for all audiences and at all budgets even but when you hit a game like this it's hard not to hear the record scratch sound in your head...
