NCS Product Synopsis
Update: May 10, 2001
«©NCSX» In the 1994 movie Speed, tensions ran high and Gigantor, aka Ortiz (he who had to be admonished to get behind the yellow line), got a little flustered when told a bomb was aboard the same bus he was riding on. Sandra Bullock's character Annie had to maintain decorum and speed lest the vehicle blew up.
Tokyo Bus Guide bears some semblance to the movie, sans the speed, but decorum need apply. You're a bus driver with all of the attendant responsibilities - namely picking up passengers, dropping them off, and announcing destinations with the press of a button. Following the rules of the road are contingent on your success as an operator and your duties include staying off curbs, obeying traffic lights, and heeding the mundane trivialities of accelerating and braking in a smooth fashion that is both pleasant and non-threatening to your riders. Abrupt bursts forward and screeching stops may rouse latent Gigantors from their berths. A versatile camera affords four views of the bus ride and a trailing view, which follows your bus from the outside, is the default. Two windshield views and a distant camera shot are the other options for scoping out your road moves.
Similar in every respect to the Dreamcast original, the PS2 version of TBG boasts an extra game mode which adds a yellow school bus and a red double-decker to the vehicles you commandeer. Of course, the original green and white commuter bus found in the DC version sits in anticipation of your manhandling. Publisher Forty Five developed TBG with the help of the Tokyo Metropolitan Bus Service and included actual bus routes in the game. Virtual bus drivers perform tours of duty ranging from noon to night and contend with varying traffic conditions as well as passenger density spikes and troughs throughout the shift. Taito took care of train fanatics with the Densha! series of games and Forty Five does their part to sate the curiosity of bus fans. Yes, bus fans. They're out there and amongst the general population...
