Handling of Buses... Shocking?
Atleast it is realistic! lol. Can't see a bus being fun however you look at it.

That Bus driver game, that was really really rubbish. lol

Can't believe you missed it already - http://www.microsoft.com/games/pc/trainsim.aspx

Well the original may have passed me by but there's a sequel lined up for 2009! I can't wait!

In the screen shot, they are driving to the wrong side of the road. Surely that would be point off?

Bus Simulator 2008 excites me a lot. I just cant wait to drive a bus!

I'm rather concerned about that last one

Is it anything like Tokyo Bus Guide?

That game is the MASTER of bus simulators.

Should be an Ice Cream Van simulator, one where you can hide cocaine in the bottom of the cones.

Oops...too much Touch of Frost Jihad...

Watched some youtube's of it, and it doesn't look very impressive. The steering physics look to be like a toy car rather than what you might expect from a sim.

BUS DRIVER is much better

I have a feeling it won't be too different from driving the bus in Microsoft Midtown Madness which was absolute rubbish and only just about held the attention of my 6 year old son.

Not that exicted, it keeps getting delayed. I reckon it won't turn up at all.

It will, you will just get three at once.

It's starting to creep me out a bit

 

[HummuH1]

Is this serious? I'm going off to pre-order Milk-float Simulator.

As a long-standing flight sim fanatic, I held off for ages trying Train Sim but gave in - and loved it

I fear the same will happen with this
