Transfers ready!

User Rating: 10 | Tokyo Bus Annai DC
There are some cities on this Earth which completely lack public transportation.

I pity them.

Those of us who know the world of buses, from the ritual of standing at the stop to the climb up the steeper-than-they-look steps by the door, to the search for a good seat, are privy to the charms of a separate little world. We can accomplish our commute without being the one at the wheel to fight the traffic. We get to see everything with a change of scenery.

This game brings the experience home. You drive a municipal bus through the streets of Tokyo. And it's realistic, too: if you don't meet the time schedules, you're in trouble. Operate the folding doors, use your turn lights, and for pete's sake drive on the left!

The title is a refreshing change from standard competition racing games. You get to learn how to work something, while enjoying a smooth ride around town. The average car-based game won't show you vehicles like this; if you've ever been curious what it's like to be behind the wheel of something different, now you have the chance to know.

Enjoy your ride!
