Some people on this forum might still be interested in this game. Here are some screenshots from the official site.

Another children's toy like bus driver. LOL.

Eww

[Kolorabi]

This could be interesting. I was quite disappointed by Bus Driver, but I still think a bus driving game could work if done well.

[KENWORTH]

I wish the heading was "RnR out on friday!!"

[KENWORTH]

Okay, here's a shocking clip that proves this 'simulator' being a turd, as the bus turns like a formula 1, and the game looks horrible!
And the menu music is a cheesy ripoff from a Finnish song. :/

The graphics are from '00, and why the heck are the gauges right in the middle of the screen? A dumb idea. Also, didn't see any dashboard shots or anything inside the bus.
I strongly doubt of this being a good simulator.
BTW, it's somewhat amusing, that these smaller firms that make 'simulators' with a title of [Insert Simulated Vehicle Type] Simulator, use always the Microsoft's font, wich they use ie. in Flight Simulator, just to get some kind of a subliminal reaction to the buyer, so one might think that it's a quality sim. (If he thinks FS is one)

Compare these:

Flight Simulator 2004 (http://www.vpd.fi/kuvat/pc_flight_simulator_2004_a_century_of_flight.jpg)
Bus Simulator 2008 (http://www.astragon.de/productsimages/Packshot%203D%20Katalog.jpg)
Ship Simulator 2008 (http://www.mille-sabords.com/forum/uploads/post-1465-1180167750_thumb.jpg)


And they're all from different devs/publishers (real obvious).

game is very bad. same of bus driver. a few new different.dont buy it.im sure.:)

[toradnic]

And when compared to Flight Simulator 2004, try to compare with FSX on sp2, running on DX10... that's much more than only better.

These games are made by really small developers, ok. I really don't see the problem. Oh no they're leeching sales from Microsoft, I'm going to cry-- Microsoft could really use that money. Ship Simulator is starting to get really quite good, they're improving it every year-- as opposed to Flight Simulator. Haven't tried this Bus Simulator though, but it doesn't look too bad. The thing is these smaller guys must be allowed to keep iterating on their work, as a small team it's impossible to keep up with big business in all aspects of the game and still be able to ship products every now and then. As long as they keep improving the product with each release, I again really don't see the problem. In conclusion, you are a fool.

AMEN

[ilkercindik]

amin!

Well, I'm sorry about that. I was in a bad mood. (or some other bad excuse)
I just thought that they would have done better, since I thought, that Bus Driver had some things to improve.
Well, maybe still, the devs of Bus Sim will be making a "sequel", despite of complaining idiots like the one here.

By the way, what's your opinion about this and bus driver in comparison?

Oh, and I wasn't suppose to talk crap about Ship Sim, since i've tried 'em, and they are pretty good.
