Review ------ "It's a triumph of kitschy presentation, meta-humour and gamer culture. If that isn't reason enough, I don't know what is." -Rishi Alwani, IVG "Sunset Overdrive is big, gorgeous, and a hell of a lot of fun. Never has getting from point A to point B in an open-world game provided so much enjoyment. It provides some of the most fun, frantic, and fantastic gaming I've had on the Xbox One. Now if you'll excuse me, I have to once-again adorn my wolf , leap off the highest ledge I can find, and fire an explosive stuffed animal at that group of angry robots." -Marty Sliva, IGN "Sunset Overdrive from Insomniac Games incorporates style, ideas and gameplay lifted from the likes of Saints Row The Third, Jet Grind Radio and Ratchet & Clank. And the game is glorious, offering something for everyone." -Delhi Daily News
