Hi everyone,
first thing to say about this game is that it isn't really a simulator game, not like OMSI, but more like EuroTruck. At the beginning of the game, you have to create a bus company and you'll have to create trips on a predefined map. Of course, you'll be driving them, pick passengers and all, but the more lines you get, the more buses and drivers you must buy and hire.
You start the game in your main office and each time you complete a line, you return to it, when starting your trip, you can choose starting from your bus depot, or directly at the start of the line. You can customize every bus you buy with a different color, decals and advertisment, but this system is a bit annoying because you don't get many customisation choices and I always ended with an ugly bus. The AI drivers don't show up when you're driving too, so I don't know why I should lose my time on this feature.

The driving experience is very nice, even with keyboard and mouse, the buses are very easy to drive and you only need a few keys to manage all the sub system (doors, heat system, kneel, parking brakes...). it's not top quality like OMSI, the bus seem too easy to drive in curves and the brakes seem too powerful, but I never drive a real bus, so I don't know...
The graphics are very good too, the map feel a little small when looking at it from the main screen, but once in the bus, the buildings, the roads and the crossings are nearly all unique, the style is a little like a cartoon but it's very fun to drive in a city with such details everywhere. The weather system is not dynamic but very nice (the rain is disapointing though)
The sounds are nice, in contrary of what it is announced, all voices are in english and not in german. When driving you can hear your passengers speaking, which I've never seen before in any bus game. The engine sound is recorded from a real bus, so no problem here. The city you drive in seem full of life, you hear the cars honking, police and ambulance roaming the city (you have to pull over when you see them, they drive like crazy), and people talking, huming and laughing on the sidewalks. In the bus, every stop is announced, there are also some messages about being nice, give your seat to old/disabled people and all that kind of stuff. It's really great and I've never hear that kind of thing in any bus game ever.

The game is full of features that make driving the bus fun. People you pick can be late, you see them running at the bus yelling, they also can be drunk, they sometimes insult you, or don't want to pay their ticket, you have to manage all this. People will stuck the bus doors too sometimes, and for the first time in a bus game, you have to manage disable people.
Each day is a new event possibility, you can have some roadworks, making you find a way to pick people, or they can be massive traffic jams, making you late, I also see a festival, where you get massive amount of tourists entering the bus. of course, you'll have to give them change for their tickets ;)

So, bus simulator 16 is a very nice game, you will like it if you do not ask for too much, the only feature it miss is a map editor. I'm fearing that with only one map, once you unlock all districts, you'll get bored very fast.
