If any of you are still doubting the quality of this game there's a demo available on the German homepage of the game (http://www.kehrmaschinen-simulator.de/index.php?id=596). Unfortunately as a Mac user i cant test it myself, so i'm not responsible if your PC explodes due to the sheer awesomeness of this game.

It's funny because I think that there are a lot of games which base some or all of their gameplay around performing everyday mundane activities, and attaching a winning condition to the outcomes. RPGs with a lot of "Collect x of y" and "Go here and talk to z" quests almost always make me wonder if the NPCs in the game aren't just stroking the protagonist's ego with all their Chosen One talk so that they'll perform a bunch of mundane chores on their behalf.
The winning condition makes the biggest difference I think. Without knowing much about this game, I'd assume that your primary task is to efficiently run the sanitation business for a city. That suggests a definite losing condition -- i.e. bankruptcy, losing the tender -- but not such a definite winning condition, since the goal is one which is ongoing and needs continuous reassessment.
Game Dev Story comes to mind. It stops charting your total history/progress after 20 years and gives you a lot of feedback on what you did during that time, but it lets you keep going indefinitely. Where it works is giving the player the means to set and assess their own goals and adjust their decisions accordingly. Do we want to invest in a new IP with an untested combination of genres and themes and risk a flop? Or make another sequel to a successful franchise which is guaranteed to sell? The former can be assessed from reviews and awards, the latter from unit sales.
Back on to this game, I guess the corollary would be having the means to gauge the satisfaction of your employer (i.e. the city), and have that factor into decisions around tenders and firing yo ass. If there are a number of things which can influence that satisfaction level, then the player has the option to set goals around their trash service; for example, one player might choose to invest in more pickups, so the civilians are happy that the trash isn't piling up; another player might ease off on pickups, but invest leftover cash into better trash disposal technology, leading to a cleaner environment and the approval of lobby groups.
They are both essentially the same goal, keeping your head above water, but they are made up of smaller goals defined by the player themselves. The winning condition for the player then becomes how well they can satisfy their own goals, and I think that's pretty cool. Obviously that's not confined to simulations necessarily, but I do think they're somewhat unique in their potential to be effectively endless, and without a winning condition in the traditional sense.

This game looks like it would be best played with the driving music from Deadly Premonition.

Yeah except you drive really slow, most of the time people walking next to you will go faster, still pretty awesome though when you take that last dirt away from the road, feels like you accomplished something and is a part of something bigger than just yourself.

I thought this was a fighting game like Streets of Rage. Would have been amazing if it was a fighting game called Street Cleaner.
Pics look hilarious though.
