Publisher: SCS Software

At first glance when you see this game you think “Wow thats different!”, in-fact it is seeing as your driving a bus and not conducting a train or piloting a jet. Before I get started talking about features lets talk about system requirements first.
Recommended Requirements-
OS:: Windows XP or Vista with DirectX 9 installed
CPU: 1.5GHz Pentium IV or equivalent
RAM: 512MB
Video: OpenGL 1.5 compatible 128MB PCI Express with hardware T&L
Hard Disk: 300MB free space
Pros-
This game features a number of things, 12 different real world modeled buses, 30 different routes, game play that could vary on in-game time and weather, and finally different duties. If you’ve ever wanted to be a school bus driver this game is probably as close as you can get. I find this game somewhat interesting seeing as its different from the normal flight/driving simulators because in this game its a bus your driving, I guess you could call it a novelty game though.
As far as controls go, they seem fine but I recommend buying a joystick or some type of controller for your PC. The AI in the game seems pretty good as well, the traffic is somewhat smart and the only difference in real life and this is that theres no elderly driver going 5 miles per hour in-front of you at rush hour.
Cons-
Sadly, this game is very boring. It’s a decent concept but its missing a lot of things, like customizable buses, more missions, some better music (Or even allowing players to use their personal mp3’s in game would be nice.), and more cities. Perhaps allowing for taxi’s and buses would be more interesting, of course in a Crazy Taxi like form.
Also I’m disappointed that there is no online features, if there was it may be a lot more fun. This game will make you think your playing a independent game, and I have to say that most independent games bring me more excitement then this. I recommend this game for children and adults that have a thing for buses, if you don’t fit into that category you should consider staying well clear of this game because you may find that it is a waste of your thirty bucks.
