Graphics
Players who bring up Graphics mostly praise it.
46 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
The graphics are more than good enough for this type of game, and I love that they use Unreal Engine for this.
Gameplay
Players who bring up Gameplay mostly praise it.
40 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
Since the game is more sandbox in nature than 100% simulation, playing with close friends is definately most enjoyable anyhow.
Multiplayer
Players who bring up Multiplayer mostly praise it.
21 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
Multiplayer mode is the cherry on top, letting you and your friends create a transport empire while laughing at each other’s driving skills (or lack thereof).
Co-op
Players who bring up Co-op mostly praise it.

I had more fun from racing those buses in coop than actually playing the game. xD
Story
Players who bring up Story mostly praise it.
11 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
The main campaign starts off well, introducing the game’s mechanics and gradually unlocking bus stops with coherent and somewhat entertaining missions.
