Drive Megapolis

Adding drinking and driving into this game wouldn't make it better.

Plays terribly.

I guess this is a driving simulator? For some reason, this was in a bundle of 46 indie games years ago that collectively sold for $1. What an odd inclusion. How is it supposed to teach someone? Is it supposed to be hooked up to bespoke hardware? I can't imagine how you can map a car dashboard onto a keyboard or a controller. Maybe it was just a pain for me because my laptop lacks a number keypad, but it was hard to make sense of the button mapping, and I got stuck on gear 3 in the tutorial. The big blocks of command lines and reloading windows made me kind of nervous, and it stopped responding repeatedly without crashing. What do I say about this game? No, this [i]application[/i]? The voice instruction seemed okay, but am I, as a gamer, really in a position to recommend driving instruction applications? I should take a step back. I don't think a $5 program is going to help you improve your driving skills, and it's no longer listed on its platform's marketplace anyway. As a driving simulator game? I don't know, those popular truck simulators have to be better than this, right?

I like this game or rather simulation. Really. It only has been 0.2 hrs i know AND so far no bugs and no problems whatsoever. OK now lets list what i like about this erm... simulator: [olist] [*]Smooth keyboard response. Actually probably the smoothest of all driving games and i don't even have to tweak response settings like in other games. To be fair, most other games have a competitive element so tweaking may be necessary depending on your driving / racing style. This isn't a race, it tells you your mistakes as you drive, no rush, no time limits so it's easy to adapt to the keyboard steering behaviour. II'm used to rapid key presses and this game is able to make it look smooth. Other games not so much, in particular some F1 games because as soon as i release the key the steering almost instantly centers; i don't think that's how it works IRL. This on the other hand has slow centering which is just nice at the rate i was driving and turning. [*]Did i say no bugs so far? Yes but it bears repeating. [*]I like the secondary window that shows code as the game loads and runs. It shows honesty and transparency beyond the call of duty pun intended. [*]No complaints about the graph…
