![]() I would be pushing left on my analog stick to try and move it and it wouldn’t budge. Worse than that there have been times where I could barely move the cursor at all. When I am trying to edit my route it can be hard to do because they picked the wrong color for the cursor and it can blend into the map at times, making it hard to find. ![]() This is a decent workaround but there is no rhyme or reason why this is so glitchy and there shouldn’t have to be a workaround for the game to work properly. Then once I exit that all of a sudden the toggle mission objective window is working like it should. Sometimes I have to press the “Y” button to edit my route. So I’m left having to keep pressing it until it comes up. You need to press in the left analog stick to bring up your mission objectives. When I am on my route management screen (a screen you will spend a good amount of time on) the buttons don’t always work the way they should. More than that though is the functionality and how glitchy everything is. The design of the UI isn’t terrible but it isn’t great either. If you can’t determine what level your bus stop is, then that introduces a number of different problems, especially if you need a particular stop to be a particular number. The problem is that when the black number is covered by this dark blue, it is really hard to see unless you sit really close to the television. The background is a light blue and as you progress you see a dark blue “meter” going up to until it is at the top and you are leveled up. This is all well and good but the colors they choose to represent this are horrible. The level of the bus stop is located to the left of the name. The more you drop off and/or pick up passengers at Bus Stop A, the more it levels up. What I mean by that is that in this game all of the bus stops level up. Additionally, pick colors that complement what is going on. If they make another Bus Simulator title it is my hope that things are written out in a more concise manner and you are told exactly what must be done and the requirements that must be met. There are instances where it is far too confusing to figure out what you need to do next. It is unfortunate that the rest of the title isn’t really up to par and prevents the overall game from reaching its potential. The gameplay for Bus Simulator can be a lot of fun, for those who enjoy these types of titles. If you do enough things wrong you will wind up losing money on that route and potentially not passing the current mission that you are on. These types of things aren’t an absolute requirement to do, however, if you run a red light or collide into a car or even leave passengers behind by leaving a bus station too early, you will get penalized. This includes signaling when you are about to turn, stopping for a red light, helping a handicapped customer by extending the ramp so his wheelchair can get on the bus, and more. After all, this is a game that is simulating the role of a bus driver, not Grand Theft Auto V. If you want to get the highest possible rating (and make the most money) on your route you are going to have to obey the traffic laws as much as possible. You drive your bus from stop to stop to try and get your passengers to their destination in a timely manner. You start in a small section of the overall map as you go through the tutorial and come to grips with what it is like to be a bus driver. ![]() As far as you are concerned this means building up your bus empire, however, once you get to a specific part in the campaign you start seeing trains becoming more active as well (although you have no control over them). In Bus Simulator you are in charge of building up your public transport empire. It has some great gameplay ideas and it does a great job of putting you in the role of a bus driver that needs to make sure people get to their destination in a timely manner, but there are some technical hiccups and design decisions that really hold this back from being a great title. ![]() Unfortunately, as it stands right now, Bus Simulator is a mixed bag. I was excited to try it out and see what it had to offer as I have a bit of experience with these types of games. Bus Simulator recently arrived on consoles much to the delight of fans that enjoy the “Simulator” titles. ![]()
