Hands-on: Tokyo Bus Guide

Did you ever want to live your life as a bus driver in Tokyo? Go on, admit it! Well, now's your chance! Released late last year in Japan, Tokyo Bus Guide has been very hard to come by, but we finally got our hands on a copy.

Basically a bus-driving version of a game like Densha De Go!, TBG is a nifty little bus simulation that has you trying to navigate your bus through the streets of Tokyo. This ain't no Crazy Taxi though, as speed limits and all manner of rules must be obeyed, lest your game finish prematurely. Actions like closing the bus doors, using your turn signals, and more will affect your score.

Graphically, the game does a very nice job of rendering the city of Tokyo. It's kind of a 3D version of a game like Theme Hospital. The graphics are very clean and stylized. It's a quirky title out of the Land of the Rising Sun. Look for the import review soon.
