Forget GTA V and FIFA 14, surely Elevator Simulator 3D is the biggest game of the year

Is it any good? Well, it has its up and downs…

Two of the biggest video games of the year, FIFA 14 and GTA V are due for release a little later this month, but if you’re looking for something to fill the void until then, why not part with a hard-earned Euro and download Elevator 3D simulator for your android device? Describing itself as the “most realistic elevator simulation ever” – it does, to be fair, have plenty of competition in that regard – the app includes features such as the ability to ride the elevator across three floors, a mechanically accurate door operator and door bumper mechanism and working 1st-3rd floor buttons, door open, door close, manual override and alarm. It only costs 99 cents so you won’t be shafted in terms of price and although we were disappointed at the absence of features such as elevator music and ‘awkward conversation with complete stranger’ it will certainly give you a lift when you most need it. Whether the developers will follow up with walking up stairs or escalator 3D simulators in the near future remains to be seen, but one step at a time, eh?
