Gameplay
In the game, the player takes control of Taz and must deliver crates to various destinations in the game. The crate must remain intact until it reaches its intended destination. Each player starts with three lives that are shaped like crates. If the crate is destroyed by dropping it, Taz's spin or if it falls into a hole and water, the player will lose a life.
if the player loses all three lives, the game is over. If the player collects all fifty tokens in each level, at the end of the level, they obtain an extra life for a crate. At the beginning of the level, Taz has full energy, which allows him to run faster, low energy will cause Taz to slow down. if he is hit by cars, lasers, falls into water, holes, ground, or other things, he will lose a health point.
Development
Taz Express was developed by Zed Two. It was shortly shown at E3 1998, but had a longer showing at the next year's E3. It was set to release in 1999, but was then delayed into 2000.
Originally scheduled to launch in North American in October 2000, the release was ultimately canceled following poor sales of the game in Europe. It was only released in Europe in August 2000.
Reception
The game received polarizing feedback from critics. Some reviews were favorable, such as Nintendo Acción's 88/100 score and Official Nintendo Magazine's 85% praise, while other reviews like N64 Magazine's 27% rating and Consoles +'s 5% criticism were far less positive.
Jeuxvideo.com said "Taz Express has all the ingredients of a good license game, but not really those of a good game at all."
