City Bus Manager
Critic Reviews for City Bus Manager
As it is, City Bus Manager is fun while it lasts; the problem is that it doesn’t last too long. Although I appreciated the relative simplicity of the mechanics, I wish that didn’t result in a lack of gameplay. It’s far from a bad game, and I enjoyed playing, but it felt like I’d seen and done everything far too quickly. The use of real-world maps to plan bus routes all over the world, from New York City to the dingy little town I live in, is a great feature, though. For the relatively low price of £24.99, this may be one to pick up if the thought of this intrigues you, or at the very least wait for a sale. That’s why I’ll be giving City Bus Manager a Thumb Culture Silver Award!
City Bus Manager is a surprisingly solid simulation with smart use of real-world data and a love for all things transit. It’s a bit light on content for the price, but if you’re a fan of buses or city management games, this might just be your stop. Just be ready to pay the express fare for a ride that maybe should’ve come with a transfer discount. So go on—hop aboard. It’s not the cheapest ride in town, but it’s still got a lot of mileage.
