Very accurate rendering of the different types of buses you can drive. After all, driving a city bus around isn't exactly thrilling gameplay.I was pleasantly surprised by this game!! I finally can find out what it's really like to be behind the wheel of a bus. Overall, though, this is a highly realistic simulator, with all the good and bad things that implies. There are some niggles with the controls - for instance, the steering wheel gets in the way of some of the dashboard indicators, so you'll have to zoom in on them from time to time, which can be a little tricky while driving. Working out the controls can take a little practice, but after a few attempts you'll be able to control every aspect of your bus. Bear in mind that these announcements are all in German - you're in Munich, after all - although there is an option to add English subtitles.
The bus's electronic copilot handles passenger announcements and puts information on the displays, although you don't have to use it if you don't feel like it.
The weather and conditions change realistically as well, with forests of colorful umbrellas sprouting along the streets when it starts to rain. Like the bus's interior and controls, these are rendered in careful, precise detail. Your schedule is tightly controlled, so be careful you don't want to be either early or late to pick up your passengers.Ĭity Bus Simulator Munchen takes you past dozens of Munich sightseeing destinations, including the National Museum, the Haus der Kunst and the Prinzregentenplatz.
A detailed simulation of the actual buses used on the 100 line gives you total control of your bus's features, from starting and stopping to opening the doors, adjusting the mirrors and even communicating with the depot.
