Tiene varias falencias, pero eso no quita el núcleo de este juego, un sistema mecánico muy amplio y profundo que ofrece muchas posibilidades a la hora de enfrentar enemigos, trasladarse por el escenario y personalizar a tu personaje. Responde perfectamente y una vez dominado permite abordar de muchas maneras las distintas situaciones del juego.

    El apartado estético es carismático , muy colorido y resultón. Me recuerda mucho a Jetset Radio. Así mismo es artísticamente muy inspirado en el movimiento indie estadounidense de la pasada década, veo mucho de Scott Pilgrim aquí. El humor es entonces muy similar a esta novela gráfica y puede no agradar a todos los públicos. Con la música ocurre lo mismo, muy inspirada en Melvins, Artic Monkeys y otras bandas similares, también tiene algunos temas más dubstep. Quizá la unica falla en este sentido es que se queda algo corta, en poco tiempo habrás escuchado todos los temas.

    Los problemas del juego vienen por otro lado: primero, aunque muy vistoso artísticamente, el juego no es especialmente bueno en términos gráficos, lo compensa con un gran rendimiento, es estable y no vi bugs, sólo algo de popping. Sin embargo su gran problema es respecto a la forma de ampliar la experiencia: terminada la historia hay poco que hacer. Cierto es que hay "desafíos" y pese a que son mas de 50, son clónicos unos de otros y no llama la atención realizarlos. También hay misiones alternativas que ayudan a desarrollar personajes y meterse más en el mundo del juego, lamentablemente suelen ser misiones de recadero y de matar a x numero de monstruos en y lugar. Por último están los coleccionables, los cuales se identifican comprando sus mapas; el problema es que se remiten a ser recogidos haciendo piruetas y son un montón, por lo que no es especialmente divertido. El problema es que estos coleccionables sirven para comprar ayudas del juego, por lo que se te motiva a buscarlo.

    En síntesis creo que Sunset Overdrive es un juegazo en su núcleo, apartado artístico y sonoro. Tiene mucha personalidad y es divertido hasta decir basta mientras nos ciñamos a las misiones principales y las secundarias más importantes. Rápido, adictivo y muy vivo, creo que sus únicos problemas son el poco contenido post-game y lo aburrido de algunos aspectos de éste.    … Expand

    Excellent fun. A whacky joy-ride worth taking. A great throw-back to Sega's Jet Set Radio with flair. If you love doing everything in style then this is the game for you.

    A really really fun game that you can dive in and out of and play for any length of time. The story is interesting while knowing it's stupid. Character progression happens at a nice steady pace keeping in interesting. While a vast number of side quests means there's always something to do.

    Por fin he podido terminar uno de los grandes pendientes exclusivos de la xbox. Sunset Overdrive, un juego de Insomniac Games, un estudio muy top en la industria que ha firmado grandes sagas como los Ratchet y Clank y los Resistance o la última y exitosa entrega de Spiderman.

    La premisa es sencilla y a la vez una verdadera locura que podría haber sido sacada del cómic más gamberro jamás    Por fin he podido terminar uno de los grandes pendientes exclusivos de la xbox. Sunset Overdrive, un juego de Insomniac Games, un estudio muy top en la industria que ha firmado grandes sagas como los Ratchet y Clank y los Resistance o la última y exitosa entrega de Spiderman.

    La premisa es sencilla y a la vez una verdadera locura que podría haber sido sacada del cómic más gamberro jamás escrito. Salvando las distancias, me pudo recordar un poco a aquel clásico de Mega Drive de los 90, ‘Comix Zone’, pero con 20 años de evolución tecnológica encima. La ciudad de Sunset está llena de ‘colgados’ que es el enemigo principal del juego (hay otras dos facciones menos numerosas contra las que tendremos que luchar) que básicamente son unos engendros mutados debido a una bebida energética superadictiva, el ‘overcharge’, que ha provocado el apocalipsis en la fiesta de presentación que la compañía Fizzco, su fabricante, ha organizado antes de su comercialización.

    Sunset Overdrive es un juego de mundo abierto. Es un curioso RPG de acción, pero con una personalidad propia muy especial y alocada. Se trata de un juego muy colorido, donde mantenerse en continuo movimiento es esencial si quieres salir vivo del combate, todo ello regado por una nerviosa banda sonora de corte punk rock y dubstep dependiendo de la situación en la que te encuentres. Otra de sus señas de identidad, algo chocante al principio, es la forma de movernos por el mapa. No hay vehículos en Sunset Overdrive, por el contrario nuestro personaje es una especie de superhéroe entre cuyos poderes, a parte de una colección de armas a cada cual más delirante, se incluye la habilidad de realizar una forma extrema de parkour, mediante la cual podemos movernos ‘grindeando’ o patinando por los tendidos eléctricos, las fachadas de los edificios, aprovechar las instalaciones de ventilación y aire acondicionado para llegar más alto en los saltos, etc. Al principio puede ser chocante el control, más cuando te das cuenta que es esencial para pelear contra las hordas de enemigos, puesto que si te paras te masacran, pero a medida que avanza la partida el control se vuelve cómodo y orgánico y viajarás de un punto a otro del mapa sin tocar el suelo.

    El desarrollo de la historia, que puede llevar unas 8 horas si vas a saco, se realiza mediante un hilo de misiones principales. A su vez, también hay tareas secundarias que nos ayudarán a conseguir armas, prendas de ropa, dinero y latas de overcharge que se utilizan como divisa para comprar más armas y munición. A su vez el mapa está plagado de coleccionables que también sirven como divisa para acceder a lo que se llaman ‘amplis’ que son el método que tiene el juego de levelear a tu personaje. Estos amplis se equipan y potencian las habilidades o las armas y junto con los turbos se pueden ir subiendo, a su vez, de nivel a medida que explotamos esas habilidades.

    En definitiva Sunset Overdrive es ante todo un juego original, bastante divertido y alocado. Que le da una nueva vuelta de tuerca a los RPG’s de acción de mundo abierto. Su propuesta desenfadada, y su bella factura técnica lo hacen un juego más que recomendable si tienes una xbox one.    … Expand

    One of the best games on Xbox One. Gameplay is pure fun and carnage. Graphics/visuals are striking and vibrant. Amazing soundtrack. Funny characters and dialogue with fourth wall breaks. This game doesn't in any way take itself seriously and results in nothing but great fun.

    This game is simply amazing. Honestly, people may say that this game sucks, but those are just pissed of Sony fanboys that are jealous that they couldn't get this game for themselves. Microsoft, if you know what you are doing please make a sequel to this game. I will legit preorder it, cause this was that good!

Unfortunately, the game play does not have a large amount of variety, and the humor, though funny at times, can be grating. The story is passable, and is handled with an acceptable level of competence. Sunset Overdrive is also not especially difficult. Overall, the game play is solid, with high technical prowess, but the experience is marred by a lack of variety and a relatively short length.… Expand

    "Sunset Overdrive" is a crass, colorful and comedic open-world action game that blends "Jet Grind Radio" with "Dead Rising". While the profane language and sexual references are a bit off-putting, the game's campaign is a lot of fun. Made by the creators of "Ratchet and Clank", it contains some of the wackiest weapons ever featured in a video game.

Made by the creators of "Ratchet and Clank", it contains some of the wackiest weapons ever featured in a video game. In this highly inventive blast-a-thon, the player must always be on the move to avoid a quick death. And just like in Tony Hawk, constant combos are the keys to quickly scoring big points. Admittingly, the multiple controls are difficult to master at first. But once they're learned, the player will have a blast exploring the bright and vibrant world of "Sunset".

    The fast-paced cooperative multiplayer is also a lot of fun. Missions are horde-based and can include up to 8 players. The goal is to protect "bases" from zombies and the player who achieves the highest score on the team wins the biggest bonus. Maps and modes are rotated as you play. Over-the-top customization options straight out of "Saints Row" are featured in both multiplayer and single player modes. While "Overdrive" may not appeal to everyone, it's certainly a fun ride. Fans of "Jet Grind Radio" and "Dead Rising" will especially appreciate it. I'd rate this Xbox One exclusive with an 8.3 out of 10.    … Expand

    Crazy, chaotic, funny and fast. You just spend hours playing around with all these crazy guns you can build jump around and kill thousands of monster. The story missions are mostly repetitive but that's not really a problem at all. And the bosses are awesomely creative and funny. Sadly this game sold not that good but I still hope for a sequel.

The natural voice acting helped with the immersion in the game world and also with the character's emotions. Combat system is solid and it is fun to simply run around Sunset City hitting on some ODs with some melee weapon or shooting them with one the many fun firearms available. Sunset Overdrive is the proof that a action / shooter game can also have a little comedy in it. A great game that I recommend to every Xbox fan.… Expand

Two expansion packs that increase hours of fun (only the base game is in Game Pass). Recently I saw it in the Xbox store, it no longer appears under that label of Insomniac Games but of Microsoft Studios so it opens up hope for a new sequel.

    The bad:
    Despite being a good exclusive, it sold poorly and went to the freezer. Its caricatured style means that they do not take it very seriously and it is difficult for the user to enter the dynamics that Sunset supposes. The multiplayer is somewhat dead. Lack of a base protagonist makes the core game seem like a soulless game. Avoid it if you can't stand The guttural and schatological sounds jokes

    Lo Meh !:
    The neutral gamers denistaton this game without knowing it, without playing it and without giving it a chance, to the degree that many do not even know that it has multiplayer and many others do not even know what their two post-history expansions are called.    … Expand

    A game that would be even cooler if it didn’t try so hard to be cool. To love it you need to switch off the part of the brain responsible for good taste, but in return Sunset Overdrive relentlessly strokes the part responsible for pleasure. [13/2014, p.76]
