SP Review: Road Bustle (PlayStation 4|5)

TRASHFALL FINAL III: THE THIRD IDIOCY (PART V)
DISASTROUS DELIVERY

Welcome to Basura Express.
Delivering trash games in 30 minutes or less.


Guess who and what's back and worse than ever? RandomSpin Games with Road Bustle.

Our trash delivery service uses everything we can find.
From jetpacks to trucks, we don't care.


Road Bustle is a game where you're assigned with the job of delivering something while avoiding all kinds of traffic: Cars, trains, trucks, you name it. As you walk, your score will increase at every step. Keep in mind, there's almost no room for error in this game. Die once and you'll go back to the beginning. Fortunately, there's plenty of vehicles to provide you some help and even speed to escape from any problem you may find: Jetpacks, golf carts and cars. But one word of advice: These are temporary, after a few seconds they'll disappear leaving you on your feet.
Traffic is not the only enemy in the game. Visibility is also a problem 'cos there's several occasions buildings that will be blocking your visibility and when you less expect it, a car or even a train will hit you. You might think switching camera angles might help but no. Simply, this game has bad camera views adding stupidity over difficulty.

If you've bought this game for the sake of Trophy Hunting, then be advised that some of the trophies might won't unlock. Yeah, in my case, the 10000 point trophy didn't unlocked EVEN WHEN I SURPASSED THE REQUIRED SCORE. If your console doesn't confirm it, it's fucked. I've tried uninstall and reinstall the game and didn't worked although there were lucky users who've got them, making this shit a matter of pure luck.

Apparently, the cars emerge from the mountains like ghosts.

Graphically is very minimalistic as we have faceless characters and a very blocky world that feels like a cheap PS3 HD treatment of a bad PS1 demo. The lighting looks kinda decent like if the game takes place on the early hours of the day. The lack of realism goes beyond belief as we can see how the cars emerge and leave the city passing through the mountains on the sides of the scene. There's not even a tunnel to justify it as a cheap effect, and that's truly pathetic.
The music department is a bunch of crappy hip-hop like songs that you'll be preferring to mute the game. Nothing short of poetry.

Give'em hell until they're nothing but ashes.

"Broken Trash" is the best way to describe Road Bustle, bad gameplay, bad graphics, bad sound and broken trophies make this game a crap-shot that you'll prefer to avoid.
