    Happy 2005! This game is broken and unfinished. Bad graphics, bad physics, bad animation, bad optimization, bad AI. The pedestrians run in front of the bus, so you can kill them 100% and you pay $20.000 fine. Sometimes, I also crash "ghost" obstacles or pedestrians and I get fine without doing anything. I lose money from crashing ghost things! It's way worse than Bus Simulator 18... TheHappy 2005! This game is broken and unfinished. Bad graphics, bad physics, bad animation, bad optimization, bad AI.

    Aceptable nueva entrega de la saga bus simulator de stillalive studios.
    Al juego le faltan algunas actualizaciones para estar en un estado aceptable ya que se encuentra con muchos bugs.

    Graphics and driving mechanics are good. Only thing I don't like about this game is optimization. Low end PCs will not be able to play this game happily.

    A relatively successful, fun and complex bus driver simulator is marred by some often unnecessary bugs. I firmly believe that the developers will eventually manage to remove a large part of them through updates. Overall, though, I'm at peace with the game, and in a discount sale I probably wouldn't hesitate to buy it for long.

    To jest jakiś żart, jedyne zmiany w tej nowej części to nowe autobusy, nowa mapa itd. Zmian dużo nie jest. Sterowanie autobusami stało się bardziej "kreskówkowe" niż w BS18. Jest więcej autobusów to na plus, na dodatek mamy nową mape. Odswieżona, stara mapa z BS18 i nowa w USA. Grafika się nie zmieniła, a gra posiada jeszcze więcej bugów niż w BS18. Twórcy zamiast wydawać DLC żebyTo jest jakiś żart, jedyne zmiany w tej nowej części to nowe autobusy, nowa mapa itd. Zmian dużo nie jest.

Poprzednia część (Bus Simulator 18) jest lepsza. Na dodatek gra jest droższa. Expand

    Buying this game is very big mistake. No optimization, Bus Simulator 18 way better.

    Ultimately, Bus Simulator 21 does a good job - it gets the blend of driving simulator and management simulator pretty much spot on, even if both of those individual parts have room for improvement.

    Bus Simulator 21 turned out to be a lot better than I was anticipating. It has a ton of the typical shortcomings you see in simulator-type games, but it also gets a lot right. The maps are large, pretty, and varied. Busses handle well and feel weighty when making corners. And the multiplayer is genuinely fantastic. If other sims take note of what Bus Simulator 21 is doing in regards to cooperative modes, this might be a genre I start to pay much more mind to.

    Stressful yet relaxing, realistic yet laughably stiff at times – Bus Simulator 21 is full of contradictions some will appreciate and others won’t understand. It succeeds in giving you a faithful recreation of what it’s like to drive around a bus all day and all the ups and downs that come with the job. It also keeps things as safe as possible causing it to be as mundane as, well, driving a bus all day.
