I pre-ordered the game with the Xbox One. (Probably won't pre-order from best buy again). It's fun and open world so you can explore whatever you want. The different methods of travel is fun, and nice to escape when you're stuck with a bunch of OD everywhere. It's a bit tough at first with limited weapons and ammo, and the price to replenish the ammo is expensive. Doing missions or finding crates to smash helps. Overall it's a fun game for single or multiplayer, though the multiplayer isn't for the same missions as single player.

Different style game but too repetitive

When this game first got announced I was really interested, but once I picked it up on sale I didn't enjoy it very much. The humor is not for every one and its definitely not for me. I am also not a fan of the weapons. Some are cool but a lot of them are random and not useful. The movement is great, wall running, grinding dashing, you're always moving and it works great. The biggest flaw with this game are the missions, very few missions and battles stand out. You're constantly doing defense missions and when it's not some type of defense mission its something short and pointless.

Sunset Overdrive is one of the most creative and fun game in quite a long time. Traversal in the game is intuitive and a joy. The writing is clever and very funny. Plus, all those guns!

I want to start off saying that I am a little biased toward Insomniac Games, the Ratchet and Clank games are some of my favorite games of all time. That being said, I think this game lives up to my expectations in every way. It reminds me of a combination of Jet Set Radio Future (another of my favorite games) and Ratchet and Clank with it's strange weaponry. If either of those things appeal to you, I would highly suggest picking this up.

Cool world, bad missions

When Sunset was revealed it quickly became one of the games I was looking forward to playing the most. Once I started it up i enjoyed it, but after playing a few missions I quickly grew bored with it. After playing half the story with most missions being the same, just go find some items and bring them back, I couldn't play any more of it, despite the unique world design and cool control mechanics.

This game was not really on my list of games to buy this year. But thanks to a deal that was available I picked it up. At first I did not enjoy the game as the controls were different that what I was used to. But after getting used to them the game was enjoyable. Not once did it get dull. I just recently beat the main story but continue to play the side quests and challenges.

What would happen if you mix tony hawk and infamous game with a touch of others sprinkled in...fun game.
The only bad thing is we missed the pre order and did not get the great gamer unlocked benefits.

Sunset Overdrive is a great third person rail grinding, bouncing, mutant killing, shooter. The colors are bright and the characters are interesting. I was able to complete the main game in under 10 hours and all of the side quests in 4 more hours. There are a number of additional challenges, collectibles, and multiplayer on top of that.

It is a fun open world shooter, but I feel that it gets a little too crazy at times.never played the multiplayer, so I can't comment on that. It is still worth a pick-up at such a reduced price. Also it would be helpful if you knew the games coming out on xbox live gold before you spent money on them Microsoft.

Sunset Overdrive is like if Mt. Dew sponsored Dead Rising. It's fun, whacky, breaks the 4th wall constantly, and I am just plain surprised at how much fun I am having playing the game and how funny it is. Definitely a must purchase if you have an X1.
