Sadly yes, the street cleaning is actually slightly famous but not for the right reasons hehe.

Euro truck simulator reviewed by none other than Charlie Brooker. It doesn't go well.

I don't understand why they're so expensive - £20 for the street cleaning one which is a full price game confused

The FiL came home with a "build your own theme park" PS2 game last week.
Still trying to figure out what the point of it is, or indeed why I still have a PS2.

Theme Park was a massive game back in the day! Nothing wrong with that at all. Who wouldn't want to design and then test the most ludicrous rollercoasters you could imagine?

And yes trains can go forwards or backwards. That's it

Lol, that is hilarious. However the platforms\trains look far to sparesly populated. Does it have a "rush hour" mode where the aim is to try to squeeze into a carriege space of 10cm2 and get home in time for dinner? Also does it simulate delays due to people jumping in front of trains\being taken ill? What about tube strikes, or the Friday night "drunk hour" with people passed out\throwing up in the carriage? Only if it did this could it be a considered a true London Undeground Simulator.

Forget jumping in front of the train. You know that really annoying person who walks at 1/2 a mile an hour to the platform holding everybody up. I presume you can shove them off the platform in front of the train. Then the game would get interesting.

How many bodies will a train run over before it stops etc.

I bought Farm Simulator, quite like it, it was a lot easier to justify to my girlfriend once I'd fessed up to being an agricultural machinery enthusiast (whereupon she bought me a subscription to Classic Tractor, yay!)

I wondered if to start with they were sales tools for the 3d engine underneath. And it's all kind of got out of hand...
