Critic Reviews for WheelMates
WheelMates feels like one good level for Split Fiction that was stretched into a full game for some reason. There's a strong sense of a shortage of interesting co-op activities for the RC cars.

WheelMates is certainly entertaining for a couple of evenings, but it's sorely lacking in its own unique features and falls flat compared to the other co-op games that are plentiful these days.

Cooperative RC car gameplay in a house full of experiments is great fun, but only if you can find a partner. The game lacks a single-player mode, which significantly limits its audience.

As a budget title of just £15.99 I have to give WheelMates some credit. It comes with a Friend’s Pass, and while it didn’t blow either myself or my co-op partner away, we did have fun. While it’s got a few issues, there were plenty of collectibles to go back and find, so it’s certainly a decent amount of bang for your buck and a reasonably entertaining time with a friend. It’s just a shame there wasn’t more done to take advantage of WheelMates unique, twitchy RC-Car setup, because on that front, the developers have done a great job. Fingers crossed they take the concept and have another stab at it.
WheelMates is an inventive cooperative platformer set in a giant house, offering excellent level design and requiring constant collaboration between both players. However, the overall driving experience is severely undermined by the poor and unpredictable vehicle controls and a restless camera. At launch, the game was also plagued by frequent and frustrating crashes to desktop, making it worth waiting until the developers have fully polished the technical side of the game through patches.
