Let some other sucker deliver that propane. By far this was a lot more fun as a local multiplayer doing your own thing that doing what the man tells you to do. It didn’t take long for us to bail on the objectives and play Totally Reliable Delivery Service as a sandbox game though, a little bit like Go Vacation. In that respect, Totally Reliable Delivery Service was a blast, and we put the graphical glitches and frustrating physics to one side. Now we were in it together, both shouting at the screen, sabotaging the other person as they attempted to half-inch a rocket before you could get there. No rainbows and handholding, but enough to stay invested in the game. So, local play it was, and that’s when it all changed. Also, as it’s early days, there weren’t many players to compete with. Other players just want to dick about, and that’s fine if you know them. Jumping on the online mode was just as irritating but in a different way. The character, no matter how cool he looked with his custom moustache, wasn’t doing what he was supposed to do. Going solo was a lonely trade and simply infuriating. If you want short, hard statistics, I played Totally Reliable Delivery Service as a local multiplayer for about 90% of the time. Respawning isn’t completely random as you’ll appeal relatively close by, or you can skip back to HQ. A funny anecdote that I’m sure to tell the grandkids one day, but when playing the game, a pain in the sack. It became apparent that you need the built-in respawn feature as, after delivery number two, I got stuck in a mailbox. Expect to see your character merge with the floor or body parts appear out of a hot air balloon or other players. Still, Totally Reliable Delivery Service can be plagued by problematic camera angles and makes Mario 64 look like it had its own crew of cinematographers, tailoring angles as if you were the director. Using one of the many vehicles is actually a lot of fun.
For longer runs, however, it will get to the stage where you need to jump in a pickup truck, helicopter – even a rocket, to get from A to B in the fastest way possible. Picking up items isn’t as tricky as operating devices or vehicles, but if you’re going to go on foot, you’re going to need to dash.
The latter is very hit and miss, so most of the time you’re dashing about (holding down 元) with your little wobbly spaghetti legs. The other controls are jump, the A button, and knocking someone out, the B button. First, though, let’s stick with the physics.Ĭharacters can grab onto objects or each other pressing the ZL or ZR keeping the buttons depressed maintains your gorilla grip.

Y’see, that’s the trials of the game: deliver as fast as you can. The game doesn’t end if you don’t deliver in time, but the longer it takes, the less likely you will get a gold award. A parcel or various sizes will spawn and sometimes the odd vechicle with a timer that kicks off in the top corner of the screen. Most objectives are initiated through pulling a lever, or as Americans say ‘lever’, on a stationary post/delivery box. Aside from a few do-gooders giving you orders and the occasional pop-up, you’re on your own.But what do I have to do in the game?ĭeliver stuff. There’s no mucking around with Totally Reliable Delivery Service – you’re expected to do your rounds almost immediately so forget about any lengthy tutorials. Not that it’s a simulation of sorts, but to put it in perspective, it makes the controls of Gang Beastsplay out like a 6ft jigsaw puzzle with four pieces.
