Just the standard go a bit faster/brake a bit better fare. There aren’t any underbody lights, spoilers or nitrous kits to add to your people transporter. Don’t expect Need for Speed levels of upgrades, mind. With earnings come new buses and upgrades. Linking stops will tell you how long each one would take, population density and demand, as well as predicted earnings. Despite zero knowledge of Russian suburbs, it’s a novel feature to plan a route that you think you can handle. The other aspect of the whole “being a bus driver” thing is in the planning of routes. Before the “I’m really not enjoying this” mood kicked in, I did take it seriously that I was lining my bus up to stops correctly, and I wasn’t going to accidentally pull away as the old dears were getting on the bus. It did, for the shortest time at least, get me slightly invested in the life of my bus driver. You’re expected to park accurately and apply the brakes, and open the doors, or passengers won’t get on and you’ll start accruing time penalties.

Drivers are expected to manually operate their engines, doors and indicators.
#BUS DRIVING SIM DRIVER#
What I mean is that Bus Driver Simulator actually simulates being a bus driver. Although with this game’s clipping issues, it wouldn’t surprise me if NPC’s jumped through the roof. If you thought you were just going to pull up to a space and your passengers would instantly hop in Crazy Taxi style, you might be in for a surprise. One thing that Bus Driver Simulator does get right, at least, is the semblance of being a bus driver. Which, surprisingly enough, are hollow enough that the camera clips through everything in there.
The bus models themselves look lacking and hollow, which is funny as the camera will also let you pan inside the buses. Bland, uninspired towns and limited skyboxes do nothing to excite my bus driving journey. It’s capable of something better than what looks like alpha footage of a PlayStation title. If one were to see this game on a Wii, then it would easily be dismissed as one of the hundreds of shovelware titles pumped out on the little white box.īut this is the Switch, the console that can run The Witcher 3 and cloud-based games like Control. Where to start with this bus wreck? For one, it looks bland. Have correct fare ready and hop aboard to find out why. Which hopefully, after reading this, you’ll be cautious and not confuse the two like I did and was ultimately disappointed.
#BUS DRIVING SIM SERIES#
Well, that was wrong of me to assume.īus Driver Simulator shares nothing fun about the more popular series it’s riffing the name from. There was me thinking that this would be a nice preamble about a cityscape, collect and drop passengers off and, above all, have fun.
So, when Bus Driver Simulator landed at FGHQ, I thought I might live out those stress-free driving dreams vicariously. But after seeing the stress of driving in this city, I thought better of it. The Finger Guns review.įunnily enough, I applied to be a bus driver when I moved across the country. The Finger Guns review:ĭon’t be fooled by the title, this shovelware knockoff of the popular series of bus driving simulation is not worth the fare. Don't be fooled by the title, this shovelware knockoff of the popular series of bus driving simulation is not worth the fare.
