School Driving 3D is a racing game published by Ovidiu Pop, a Romanian who is part of the Ovilex Software, a company known for games such as Farmer Sim 2015, Bus Simulator 2015 and Train Driver 15. The game is available on both Android and Apple and it has been downloaded for about 25 million times. It has a rating of 4.1 out of 5 on Google Play and 4 stars on Apple’s App Store (but less than 200 ratings). In order to run optimal, School Driving 3D requires an Android version of 2.3 and up and, for Apple users, iOS 5.1.1 or later.
The title says it all. In this game you take the role of a person who…well…wants to drive. You will face lots of complicated challenges and if you already have a driver license you will be amazed about all the things you are illegally (conscious or not) do when you’re driving. If you don’t know how to drive, you may use the game to learn a thing or two about this and then amaze your instructor about how good (in theory, at least) you are at this driving thing.
You are not required to sign-up in order to play the game but I strongly recommend it because the game has a Cloud Save implementation and in order to activate it you must sign-in with your Google+ account. Having your game progress saved in cloud will ensure you no data loss in case of changing your device or uninstalling and then reinstalling the game. You can also link your Facebook account with it but that doesn’t ensure no data loss.
School Driving 3D isn’t a game that has a currency but it has a pretty neat system based on Experience that meters the good and naughty things you do while in traffic. However, for the players that want to show their support to the game by paying real money, there are a few microtranscations available. For example you can remove ads for just $0.99 and you can unlock all the cars, all the buses or all the trucks for $1.99 each.

Like I mentioned before, School Driving 3D is definitely going to make you ask questions about your driving style. I never thought I would play a game where I will respect all the traffic rules and get embarrassed when I mistakenly (I swear) pass the speed limit or forget to signal my intention of changing directions. The game is a good reminder and the authorities should use a better more complete version of it as a random test for drivers or something like that. The results will be devastating yet hilarious.
First of all, I really like the fact that the game has 3 different driving license categories you can virtually get. You have a Car License, a Truck License and even a Bus License. That’s a great idea and to be honest I’ve never seen it in any similar game. I also like that you have more than 1 classic mode (Career) and you can do different challenges or free roam if that’s what you desire. Secondly, I think that is nice (and keeps the player interested) that you have more than a few models of vehicles to choose from. You unlock them with XP (or with real money) and that’s an interesting way of creating a character progression mirage for a racing simulator that struggles to have one. Finally, I think that one of the best features of School Driving 3D is the fact that it is pretty realistic (except the AI that I will talk about later) and that you willingly or not will be required to follow some strict rules and regulations so you can complete levels and eventually your driving license exam.
There are some things I don’t really like about the game too. For example, I think that most of the levels are taking too long to complete. Besides the beginning and the end of a mission which are often different, you do the same thing over and over again. On a long term that’s a bad thing. I also really hate the ads in the game. I know that this is how the developers get their income and I know that I can pay so I can turn them off but there is a big “but” here. I don’t mind ads for as long as they don’t disrupt my gameplay in any way. Unfortunately because of some ad placements I can’t see street signs, stops and so on. In addition to not seeing properly all the street signs and lights, I think that the game really lacks mirrors. It’s a school driving simulator after all, I want to have rear view, at least.
One of the other things that annoy me a lot about School Driving 3D is the AI (Artificial Intelligence). It is very unresponsive and not properly coded. Cars will keep bumping my car if it happens to collide, pedestrians don’t walk on the “zebra” but I still get the penalty and other traffic participants tend to take wrong turns and/or start to change directions randomly. I know that this are real life situations but it’s highly unlikely that the developers let the AI act like this on purpose.
Overall, School Driving 3D is a game that I will most likely recommend. Not too long time ago, there was a trend with this genre but the features this game has to offer are pretty interesting and you will probably have a nice experience with them.
Ratings
Artwork: I give School Driving 3D a rating of 7 out of 10 for this section. Undoubtedly the theme matches the idea of the game. You learn from the title that the game 3D and that is partially correct. You have 3D cars indeed but the environment is pretty dull and has a lot of not-so-nice textures. Besides your fancy yet good looking cars that you can drive, the other cars are weird and they look rather bad. Because of the textures, I prefer driving at night because that’s when the game looks modern.
Music & SFX: School Driving 3D gets 6 out of 10 for its music and sound effects. The problem with the game is not having any music during the gameplay. I know that you have to focus on the traffic and pay attention to anything around you but recently someone told me that she can’t drive without music – it makes her nervous and unfocused. Music doesn’t hurt, see? It helps. The sound effects are pretty basic and I can’t say much about some blinkers, the sound of an engine car and the noise the car makes when you brake.
Story/Originality: I give School Driving 3D a rating of 7 out of 10 for this section. Reviewing the story and the originality of a game that has no story and reassembles a not-so-fun real life situation is very hard. I think that introducing a story would have been hard and I can’t really blame the developers for not doing so. It would most likely have been meaningless. In terms of originality I can say that I have seen my fair share of “learning how to drive” simulator games even though maybe not so comprehensive as this one so eventually, I give credit to School Driving 3D.
General Gameplay: The game gets 7 out of 10 for its gameplay. At the beginning you have an almost complete tutorial (why don’t they say I need to tilt my device so I can steer) and after that the gameplay is pretty straight forward. You must follow the rules you learned in real life or try your best in the game. Normally, School Driving 3D would get a maximum rating here but, as I mentioned before, the AI from the game is really annoying at some points and that disrupts a rather nice gameplay. Also, from time to time, especially when accessing the Free Ride the game will freeze or crash.
Addictiveness: I give School Driving 3D a rating of 7 out of 10 for its addictiveness. I really like the fact that there are several driving licenses you can get and that are a lot of cars you can choose from but let’s be honest…how long will you play a school driving simulator before you will get bored and start speeding, crashing and killing people? A long time I hope, you psycho. The game has all sort of tricks to make the player stay with it for as long as possible but the level’s length and the car prices are pretty high and that kind of hurts the addictiveness of School Driving 3D.
Overall, School Driving 3D gets a rating of 6.8 out of 10. The game isn’t bad but it has a lot of tiny flaws that put together may annoy the player. However, with a few updates, School Driving 3D can become really popular.
