There's a bus...and you drive it. Nothing more, nothing less. Also nostalgic/10. This was the first driving sim I had ever played and for what it was at the time it was pretty immaculate. Still amazes me 12 years later

This bus driving simulator is just as simple as it looks. Beware of the traffic, watch out for the sudden red lights, but hurry to make it to the stations in time as there's a score bonus for that. There's not much that has to be said about this oldie, but I sure enjoyed its gameplay a lot. It's full of driving the bus and obeying the traffic rules; The usual. Some of the buses had faster acceleration, some had better handling, were shorter or longer, etcetera.. But despite being so simple, I can't think of any reason not to pick this one up. Oh, and another little detail- The game's got a little story. Each mission has a description to the current situation as a bus driver - Be it about the rainy weather or the tight schedule.. It was nice to get some brief detail of what to expect and get me immerse myself in the driver's situation. The playtime of mine does reflect playing through every single mission, in case there'd be a question of the approximate length. Note, the missions can all be replayed. Have fun! Drive safely.

I remember back then I couldn't buy this game because I was a kid and my parents never had money for games. There used to be a demo on the internet, I replayed that like 100 times. The game might be really old but for me its still gold!

This game, like Portal 2, is one of the very few games I have on CD/DVD. It's somewhere in one of my boxes in the living room, but I do own it that way. However I bought it on Steam anyway for nostalgia reasons. Turns out that the company who went on to make Euro Truck Simulator actually knows how to make a bus go brrr. The game is simple enough, and works. There's enough variety and routes to make it worth the 5€. Despite being from the mid 2000s it still does exactly what it should, and while relatively small compared to the simulators of today, it does that thing well, and justifies its price.
