Couldn't find the hype thread so I'm not sure if this one flopped or not. Review here.

The good:

Nicely detailed sweeper vehicles

Important to have in any street cleaning sim, really. And the bad..

Not a realistic sim. AI vehicles try their best to destroy you. Horrendously slow. No replay value.

Oh, so it's like Mario Kart..

In case this wasn't already inherently meant for System Wars, I would like to proclaim this fine piece of technology as just another showing of PC superiority. As far as I know, street cleaning sims are a bit scarce on consoles, which is certainly a shame.

Since the Nintendo influences here are enormously evident, it's pretty clear Nintendo helped stimulate the production of this game. Developing for the PC can only mean one thing, Nintendo is beginning to rethink it's current direction. Which solidifies the idea Nintendo is indeed dying.

Ironically they've chosen to jump to another dying platform. Weird.

What do you think my fellow warriors?

And Street Cleaning was a fun idea for games to begin with? :lol: Other simulation games (flight, train) made more sense.

I think GS hasn't seen a street cleaner in real life. It's quite apparent from because watching people drive by them that they all try and destroy the poor helpless street cleaner, when will their suffering end? :cry:

Indeed. You know what will teach these consolites their lesson? What will give them a taste of their own medicine? If their games started to be handheld-ized. Yeah.

We all should. 15 > 1. The reviewer is clearly out of touch with this one.

To much like Call of Duty.

Mr-Espresso
Yeah this is why I'm not picking this one up personally. I just can't see myself purchasing Battlefield 3, Modern Warfare 3, AND Street Cleaning Sim all in the same year.

Those broom fanboys are always constantly whining about genre progression. They probably still think Baldur's Gate is the pinnacle of RPG's or something ( lolz ).

I laugh at the people who thought games like Battlefield 3 or Uncharted 3 had even the slightest chance to get game of the year, against the might of Street Cleaning Simulator.

Haha that review was very entertaining to read, I laughed quite a lot! :D

Seriously, a street cleaning simulator, why would anyone spend money on producing this unless it's some rich dude trying to troll.

When I see a Street Cleaner go past the first thing that springs to mind is "That looks pretty awesome, I want a turn" and now my lifelong dreams can be realised. Can't wait for DLC.

It could of sold a lot of copies if they had better advertising. I only saw their commercials on MTV, people who watch mtv already are street cleaners, they don't want to come home from work and play a game that is their job.

Some of the criticisms are just unfair..

The problem with trying to obey the traffic laws is that the other cars don't. You might be patiently waiting at a red light when out of nowhere a deranged driver in a Vauxhall Corsa crashes into you

Wouldn't it be unrealistic if the game DIDN'T have car crashes?

Often, while making your way to a filthy road, you can spy two cars in the distance, bouncing up and down on the spot like motorised space hoppers and then sinking into the floor

You can blame Pimp My Ride for this one.

Pedestrians are just as incomprehensible. If you drive into them, they disappear.

Again, perhaps they're just nimble? If someone were trying to run me over, I would try to disappear as well.

Whilst the idea of a Street Cleaning Simulator is something we can all get behind, the only good simulators areFootball management sims, and racing sims.

My mind was blown when I first started playing this game. The intro was really deep, it gave me chills within the first 2 minutes and they didn't go away until an hour later. The soundtrack is amazing, on par with Hans Zimmer some might say. The world is immersive, it has that great atmosphere that most games are lacking, I actually felt like I was cleaning streets at times, it was crazy. The graphics are on par with modded crysis. This is definitely going to be many people's game of the year, no doubt about that. The story is very gripping, I could not stop playing because I wanted to know what would happen next, the story writers deserve a nice bonus. I cannot wait for the sequel, (spoiler) the ending was a huge cliff hanger, really pissed me off, but it was very exciting.(end spoiler) YOU NEED TO BUY THIS GAME, IT IS THE BOMB DIGGITY.
