I just got my copy of PC Zone today (thanks Sooze!) and UnWheel is featured on the cover disc again along with a nice little review in the magazine.
"UnWheel is a top-class, balls-out, hairy-chested driving mod with an emphasis on fun. The premise is racing, pure and simple. It's all about choosing your vehicle, hopping in and mashing the loud pedal to the floor to go as fast as you can. Winning is everything. Second place is pants.
Now, if that isn't enough to whet your appetite, how about having a multitude of highly detailed vehicles ranging from nippy sports cars to ground-shaking earth-mover trucks? How about being able to choose from enough well-designed maps to keep even the most ambitious crazy driver happy? And how about having more thrills and spills than playing chicken on the M25? Well, UnWheel offers all of the above. It's one of the best-developed and well thought-out mods of and kind for UT2004, and it's a real thrill to play.
There are no less than six gamplay modes to try. These range from the standard lap-based thrash, to a flag-return CTF varient, 'roam' racing where you score points by going over bonus pick-ups and even a mode similar to the CarBall mod, where a beach ball has to be knocked into a goal to score. Talk about variety. Plus, you can choose any vehicle for any race, choose your skin, use headlights, handbrake and any of 100 other tweaks. UnWheel is well worth taking for a spin.
PC Zone verdict: 85
Wheely good (sorry)"
