Sunset Overdrive is a true gem. It's video-game escapism at its finest, A journey into a whimsical world filled with larger than life characters, a ludicrous series of events & where every situation is an opportunity for a joke. Coupled with brilliant movement mechanics, a teddy bear grenade launcher & killer punk rock soundtrack, Sunset Overdrive is a reminder that games don't have to be serious to be truly great.

Pros:
+Fun Story: The protagonist & other characters from various factions are brought together by an "awesomepocalypse" as they fend off humans mutated by the energy drink "overcharge" while trying to take down the evil mega-corporation "Fizzco" which is responsible for the disaster.
+Great Graphics: The unique color palette & visual art style results in a beautiful spectacle that is Sunset City & its characters. It all looks like the pages of a comic book vibrantly rendered.
+Excellent Gameplay: The game truly shines in this aspect. The blend of fast paced fluid movement & gun-play makes for a truly enjoyable experience as you jump, grind & dash your way through Sunset City while slaughtering droves of mutants with an impressive arsenal of whimsical weapons & upgrades.
+Excellent Controls: The game's controls are intuitive which complements combat especially when chaining together moves and the fluid, fast paced movement dynamics of the game.
+Excellent Soundtrack: The punk rock soundtrack definitely complements the vibrant yet grungy aesthetic of Sunset Overdrive.

Cons:
-If your are accustomed to fast paced, movement based shooters, then you will be able to jump right in. For those unfamiliar there may a slight learning curve when getting accustomed to the game's movement mechanics.
