Abstract: It's rare to find a game that you're not convinced by, but then, in the final months before release, get really excited for. This was very much the case with Sunset, after its uninspiring reveal at E3 2013. Microsoft devoted plenty of time to Insomniac's...
A visual feast with colours and effects that will make you go “wow”, a great cast of friends and foes, customisation for lead character is a good idea, brilliant grinding and bouncing gameplay mechanics
The humour doesn't always hit the mark, sometimes descending into the juvenile, combat can feel a little button-mashing mad at times,
Sunset Overdrive is a game that we'll definitely revisit, especially for more multiplayer action, but we'll have to sometimes leave our brains at the door. That said, while the narrative might be dumb in some instances, the combat is far from it an...
Great platforming and combat mechanics, entertaining dialogue, varied missions
Only one multiplayer mode
Sunset Overdrive is an excellent, fast paced open world platformer-come-shooter. Varied gameplay and a punk rock approach to storytelling create one of the most interesting and enjoyable gameplay experiences currently available on the Xbox One...

Abstract: Seriously, though, that dodge roll. After a wobbly period of grit and grime, a kind of thematic pebble-dashing of the CV, Insomniac's latest is set in Sunset City, a breezy and laudably colourful metropolis where a new fizzy drink has turned everyone into...

Movement is so fun, Lots of zany weapons, Great sense of humour
Not the most "alive" world, Haphazard campaign, Some lingering bugs
Sunset Overdrive verdict Open Gallery Like some mad hybrid of Dead Rising , Crackdown , and Saints Row , Insomniac's Sunset Overdrive ends up being a zany, joyous ride that's well worth taking. While not the most robust open-world action game ar...

Abstract: IT'S A BLAST: Sunset Overdrive lands on the Xbox One [XBOX]What a fun game this is.Sunset Overdrive is absolutely insane.From the minute you boot up the Xbox One this action hit is an assault on the senses.From it's Simpson-esque colour scheme to immense...
Exciting mix of guns and grinding, Exuberant and stylish visuals, Masses of activities, Awesome weaponry
Can grow repetitive, A little scrappy
It might not be the year's most ground-breaking or innovative action game, but Sunset Overdrive is one of the most entertaining. Its mix of grinding and gunplay works beautifully, and the amps and the ridiculous weaponry ensure that slaughtering hordes o...

We left Sunset Overdrive's demo grinning. The game's action and sense of immense fun is simply infectious. Sure, it's nicked a lot of its best ideas from a ton of other game – and special mention should go to Crackdown, which funnily enough, is being rebo...
