Oh, school buses, that means of transport that delights little ones when they are used for school trips. These yellow metal monsters that transport young people to and from school were often a source of daydream for children who needed them. Maybe you had a wonderful driver who made your rides even more exciting, or maybe you dealt with a boring driver who simply turned on the radio and drove from point A to point B via points EFG and H. Regardless of the latter, many of you have probably already dreamed of taking his place.
Well, this new DLC for the Bus Simulator 21 Next Stop game from Astragon Entertainment Studio allows you to make that dream come true. You can therefore swap the large luxury buses for the good old orange and yellow buses, equipped with signs and lights that are all too often ignored.
It costs about $20 to purchase. Not only can you get behind the wheel of the All American FR, All Amarican RE and also the Vision, but you also have to drive your passengers to school on the new routes. There are a total of 8 school buildings at your disposal, spread across the Angel Shores and Seaside Valley maps. The most important thing we must not forget: NPC children will also be there, so you need to pick them up at one of the bus stops.
To be honest, I wasn’t expecting anything when I purchased this DLC, but I enjoyed going on the different journeys to get the kids back to school. Visually the buses are pretty nice, certainly the environments don’t always meet the standards of the buses, but the work on the cars is very good. The view from the inside is similar to reality. When it rains you can see the rain running down the windshield. However, when using the windshield wipers, the effect is slightly less realistic. As far as handling goes, it’s fairly realistic, although the collisions and lack of work on the environments may affect certain players’ experience.
In summary, the addition “School Bus” is quite successful and allows you to extend the original title by a good 6 hours. Personally, I enjoyed playing it, even if I occasionally put the children’s lives in danger, not to mention the damage caused to the many vehicles crisscrossing the streets. Additionally, having the option to use a steering wheel will make your experience even more immersive. In short, if you like vehicle simulation games, you will like this addition.
