With its different locations
inspired by real-world places
in Europe, Coach Bus Simulator feels like a driving game and a virtual tour in one. Still, with that said, it could use more treacherous terrain like sloping valleys and mountain roads, much like
Euro Coach Bus Driving
.
A casual driving game
Coach Bus Simulator captures the real driving experience by letting you experience both the internal and external workings of the job. On one side, you get to drive the vehicle
from the driver’s seat
, featuring a first-person perspective. On the other hand, you also get to view your travels in the third person, showing the
landscape
and of course, the
passengers
you get to carry.
Another fun aspect of the game is that it allows for
a lot of customization options
. From specific models of coach buses to paint jobs that feature specific images or messages on the side, it even lets you
customize the text
that will appear. This works well with the world it presents, offering a
seemingly dynamic weather system
that ensures a degree of replayability.
Unfortunately, it suffers from a
lack of diversity in terms of stages
. While it promises a European trip, it mostly focuses on the
city and the suburbs
, without referencing the Alps or other, more challenging trips. Most of the challenge comes from
navigating narrow city roads
. Also, the
poor AI
makes driving even harder, since they are unrealistic and seem intent on bumping into you.
Challenging, but not in ways you’d expect
If you’re after a bus driving experience that is
immersive
, largely customizable, and not too challenging on the road, then Coach Bus Simulator is the entry for you. By focusing on the cities instead of naturally dangerous terrains, you experience a different kind of challenge. You maneuver narrow spaces and deal with
erratic traffic behavior
instead of passing through sharp curves over cliffs.
