Between each bus stop there are timings that the bus will need to arrive by, as well as hitting all of those positive notes for the perfect drive. As a player, you eventually strive for perfection and wanting to do well. My teammates at Finger Guns HQ were correct eventually the game does lend itself to feeling cathartic. It feels like those times where you play GTA and follow all the road rules because the police just pulled up behind you. Aspects such as positioning, indicating before your stop, timing and hitting pedestrians (big no no if you were wondering which camp that went in) will effect the score.

With every route, you are rated on positive and negative points of the driving. The aim of the game is to achieve a 5 star route drive, and unlike the GTA games, this won’t need to you ride the train tracks to rid of your 5 star police chase out. Each bus drives a little differently and will come with accompanying spec for you to cast your eyes over. While this won’t appeal to most people, I’m sure this will be a wholesome detail I am sure will not go unnoticed by the niche it is aiming at.

Some of the design you can see has been really focused on for realism such as the seawater which glistens during the day or night. From bustling Chinatown to Seaside view, it’s all really pretty. The journey you take, albeit hundreds of times, is one of vibrancy, colour and diversity. It may be a while before you get the hang of the game so that the buses are not damaged by pavements, signposts and telephone poles – but the City itself is beautiful, regardless of what you may be crashing into. Rainbow Pride Bus? Heck yes, it is possible! City Livin‘ The bus’ can run advertisements to be able to reign in more of that dollar dollar… or euro euro in this case. This is very satisfying to say the least.ĭid I mention you can eventually customise your bus?

Even starting the engine can provide a 12 step guide to frustration. The first person perspective can feel incredibly overwhelming when greeted with the dashboard as you are met with lots of different words above each gadget and widget. The game allows both first person and third person perspective. It really just asks the player to drive around until they feel relaxed.
