Let's get one thing out of the way. As a game, Desert Bus is pretty terrible, yes? It wastes your time with long stretches of doing nothing, but you can't just leave the game on while you read Scott Pilgrim or something, as if you do you have to do it all over again.
The five-star rating comes not from the game itself, but from how well it makes it's point about fake difficulty and wasting the player's time. I don't mean to sound like one of those "ohhhh you don't get it, it's SUPPOSED to suck!!" people, but at the same time that's LITERALLY the idea behind the game.
