Im just going to preorder the standard edition. I don't care about the game that much to fork out loadsa cash
I'll be definitely getting this, its higher on my list than games like COD & Halo MCC, it looks like its going to be as crazy as hell. like everyone I can't wait for the multiplayer.
From what I've seen so far, this looks like a really fun game and I can't wait to get my hands on it. I was going to wait until late November/early December to buy an XB1, but if the full reviews and player impressions are positive, then I'll pick up the white console bundle next weekend.
Well, reviews are in and this is getting some great scores-

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 mask, leap off the highest ledge I can find, and fire an explosive stuffed animal at that group of angry robots.

As a collection of mechanics and ideas, Sunset Overdrive is an impressive evolution of things Insomniac has been doing for a long time. Every part of Sunset Overdrive hooks into every other part somehow, and often in multiple ways, and it makes the whole shooting, grinding, wall-running package better for it. But the best thing about Sunset Overdrive is how it's unabashedly enthusiastic about what it is, in just about every way. That enthusiasm, and the freedom behind it, is contagious.

If you wanted to be uncharitable, you could voice the suspicion that a great many baseball caps were turned backwards in the echoing board room where this project was greenlit, but with the campaign done and the city freshly filled with challenges, I don't really feel like being uncharitable. Beneath the glorious tech, and once the writing relaxes a little, Sunset Overdrive's wonderfully lurid and heartfelt - a bit like playing an old 4AD album sleeve. If you get that reference, you'll probably get this, too.
It's funny that one of the worse reviews is from our very own digitalspy
3/5
Most annoyingly, Sunset Overdrive overplays its trump card. The traversal options are fun to begin with, but they lose their shine thanks to an enforced over reliance on them. Not a bad game, then, but it does feel like a missed opportunity
And a petition has already started to get it ported to PS4
DS have been harsh in their reviews recently. If you look at reviews from last year, they used to score slightly above average, but this year they're being fairly harsh towards critically acclaimed games. I wonder if there has been a change in the structure of their team?

They gave Driveclub an abnormally good review compared to other sites. Equal to Forza horizon 2 infact.
Thanks for the links guys. I had just found the IGN one, and felt a bit of an idiot having asked about the reviews 45 minutes before hand.
Looks like I'm getting this game as it sounds fun.
Pre-ordered it earlier and installed, so I'll give it a looksie in the morning, and tell you what I think, although I bet you already can imagine the outcome .
Had a quick go this morning. Had to do an update first. But the game itself was fun.
Well I tried to unlock the game at 7:15 this morning, but was told it was unavailable. Not sure if that was because I bought it from the UK store but downloaded from US (set region before purchasing through the web site) and I left my console to US but maybe I needed to change the time zone.

If you bought it from the UK store you won't be able to play it until Friday.
I may get this game. However It'll be on the cheap. I certainly question the fact that it's already supposedly set to come out on PC.
Microsoft and Insomniac have both said there are currently no plans to release the game on PC (and it's currently not being made), and that the error on the advert was a wrongly made assumption.

So not all there recent reviews are low.

IT LOOKS AWESOME!!!

I played for 20 minutes this morning, it looks.......beautiful. Can't wait to get tucked in tonight and tomorrow.
Correct. It's bound to the country you've bought it in. I had to wait like 12 hours for Destiny
What time does it unlock in Hong Kong? Not preordered yet..
Damn, thought it was the store you downloaded from. When I bought Horizon 2 even though I bought it from India it only unlocked at UK time
I think it's Friday, but would be nice if it were today as I've got it from the HK store.
If you bought it from the UK store you won't be able to play it until Friday.
That'll be the only time it hits 1080p/60
