"Campus Bus Chaos" is a top-down driving game that's sort of an amalgam of Crazy Taxi, Twisted Metal, and Katamari Damacy...but with more violence, insanity and a lot of university parody. Clearly it will be the greatest game of ALL TIME.

It would take a fool to miss the fact that many of the bus drivers here on campus are a little...off. Well there's a reason for that. Cleaning up vomit and having drunken jocks scream "Hail To The Victors" in your ear every weekend at 2am would drive you nuts too. Hop into the driver's seat as a disgruntled UM bus driver who, on his last day before retiring, doesn't give a fuck and will say so with a smile. With the kinds of guys you work with, it's not exactly as if you have a bunch of angels on your shoulder to suggest otherwise. So apart from getting yourself arrested for vehicular manslaughter, just have fun and try to barrel through this last day of work. What could go wrong?

The object of the game is to go from stop to stop on your route, picking up as many passengers as possible, but still trying to stay on schedule. You earn points by keeping on schedule. The faster you get to the next [editing] But the schedule's really the main thing, so naturally your driving habits might be a little...unorthodox.


- Bonus points for skidding way past crowds of students on the sidewalk. The further you skid without being out of bounds, the more points ya get.

- Bonus points for leaving a straggler behind at the very last second. The closer they get before you slam the doors and peel off, the more points...

- Traffic laws are really more like traffic "suggestions". The voices say it's ok. Fuck it. People drive on the left in Europe, don't they???

- Turning corners too quickly will make your bus roll over and crash. That wouldn't be so bad, if it weren't for the whole "catches-fire-and-explodes-with everyone-inside" part...

- If there are a lot of kids boarding the bus, but you're running late...fuck em. Drive off. So what if a few of them are dangling from the doors while you're doing 60 in heavy traffic? You told the little pricks to move to the BACK, didn't you?!

- Keeping excellent time on your route will earn you "Road Kill Rebates" from your local union. Make those "accidents" vanish in a flash! You just hit a really big squirrel carrying an iPod...alright?

- Play all sorts of interesting (if not slightly deviant) games during your scheduled breaks.

- You lose the game if you fall too far behind on schedule or rack up too many unpardoned fatalities.
