Bus
Driver is a game created by SCS Software using OpenGL. The game was
completed in March 2007 and with a full feature 1 hour demo.The player
selects a route from tiers (described below), and then after a short
loading time, the player sees the selected bus either at a bus depot or
terminal. After halting at the first stop, the bus must be driven along
the correct route (indicated at intersections by orange arrows) whilst
obeying all traffic rules and stopping at all bus stops.
If
the player fails to do so, points will be taken from their score. When
the game begins, one tier of routes, which includes six buses, is
available. In total, there are six tiers, thirty-six routes and thirteen
buses (seventeen in Temsa Edition). In order to unlock the next tier,
the player must drive at least four of the routes successfully. As the
game progresses, routes become more tedious. The player will lose points
if they disobey traffic laws,
upset passengers (by braking too hard or causing accidents) or they
depart from the bus stop too early, or even if they leave passengers
waiting at a bus stop. Conversely, the player will gain points for
obeying traffic laws and being punctual.Despite being a game set in the
United States, many of the bus stop names are named after insignificant
places in Greater London, England, such as Debden, Collier Row, Feltham,
Potters Bar and the terminus Westminster.
The
game contains a variety of buses which are based on real life buses. As a
game set in the United States, most of the buses are based on American
designs, however, there are some which are based on European designs
since the game was made in the Czech republic. The buses included are 3
MCI 102D3 (known as GNR-13 LE, including a jail variant which is known
as GNR-13 Eco), a Ford B-Series school bus (known as Toucan), a MCI
D4500 coach (known as Gryphon Birdie), 2 NovaBus RTS-06 (known as Niva
WS-27 Cityroamer), 2 Setra S415HDH (known as Sista XT), 2 Renault Agora S
(known as Remark EU) and a Volvo B7TL Wright Eclipse Gemini double
decker (known as Velven 18). The Temsa Edition included the Temsa
Avenue, Temsa Tourmalin IC, Temsa Opalin, Temsa Safari HD and the Temsa
Diamond.
The
game contains 5 tiers in version 1.0 of the game. An additional tier was
added in Bus Driver Temsa Edition and in Bus Driver Gold Edition. Each
tier contains six different routes. In order to unlock the next tier,
the player must drive at least four of the routes successfully. As the
game progresses, routes become more longer and tedious.
Bus
Driver was not designed as a bus simulator, however it is considered
one. Reviewers have suggested that an inside view would improve the
gameplay, however, the developers have stated that this is because the
game was not designed to be an exact simulator.
The
game is considered to contain a high level of realism including, street
names, traffic signs, active traffic lights and varying weather
conditions. The game also contains 'living roads' intelligently
controlled by a sophisticated AI System. This means that the traffic
conditions vary and you may have to predict what the traffic will do.
The routes have been modelled to look like a realistic fictional American city.
Including varying styles such as, modern, old town, residential
suburbs, a local harbour and an airport. However, realism is
nevertheless lacking in some aspects of the game such as the playing of
other traffic and also there not being an interior to the buses.
