How Metascores Are Calculated

Stars indicate the most critically-acclaimed games. |
In Bus Driver, your job is to transport passengers around an attractive and realistic city. You must drive to a timetable on a planned route, while obeying traffic rules, and taking care not to upset or injure your passengers. This makes Bus Driver unlike any other driving game - the experience of driving a bus is very different from blazing through a racing circuit. 12 buses to drive – detailed models inspired by real-world buses, including London’s double-decker bus, America’s school bus, Europe’s low floor buses and many more. 30 routes arranged into 5 tiers with increasing difficulty. Multiple duties, such as driving a school bus, transporting tourists, sight-seeing tours and even the transportation of prisoners. High replay value based on sophisticated system of traffic rules and game-play related bonuses. Large city to drive in, with several districts of varying styles: modern, old-town, suburb, airport, harbor and more with day/night cycles and realistic weather conditions. Living roads with intelligent traffic controlled by AI system. [Meridian4]

Game Chronicles
It’s great fun in a non-traditional game setting where you actually feel good about obeying traffic laws and driving safe, rather than running from the police and driving like a madman.

Bus Driver was more interesting than I thought, but lis too simplified.. It really should have a view from driver’s seat, and interacting with passengers would be nice too. [Jan 2008]

All in all I didn't have too many complaints about Bus Driver. It's a simple casual game, but it does what it sets out to do well.

It doesn’t have that cardboard feeling you get in certain games.

Bus Driver is easy to learn, but will be quickly mastered. It may not have a lot of replay appeal for adults, but younger drivers will probably enjoy it.

The controls aren't that fun, the graphics are dated and the sound isn't really all that tight, but the game has some fun hidden in there when taken in small doses.

GameShark
I have nothing against casual edutainment titles that are fun for the whole family, but the marketing behind the game led me to believe I was getting into something more complex.

Getting from point A to point B doesn't get any more wearisome. [Aug 2008, p.74]
