Metro Gamecentral gave it 7/10
http://metro.co.uk/2014/10/27/sunset-overdrive-review-constant-grinding-4922931/
In Short: Shallow, simplistic, and never quite as funny as it thinks it is, but theres still more energy and imagination at work here than most other new next gen franchises.
Pros: Some fantastic weapon designs that are a welcome relief from the shooter norm. The grinding and wall-running is great fun too, and a lot of jokes do hit their target.
Cons: The combat, in fact everything in the game, is extremely shallow and very easy. Too little variety, especially in terms of enemy types and the simplistic mission design.
Score: 7/10

Bayo 2 got a 10
Seriously folks - I LOVED this game. Yes, you'll feel like it could do more, in terms of creativity of the quests or craziness of its story. But it's just so, so much fun, and once you really get the hang of the traversal, oh my lord is it satisfying. Jet Set Radio levels of satisfaction.
Destiny and Alien Isolation both got 6s I believe.
This.
Looking forward to picking up the XB1 bundle soon!

Not long. X button is your "snap to rail/wall-run" button. Once you get that down and some of the other traversal moves unlock (air dash, for example), it's gravy.

NICE. Those first 6s must have killed jstevensons from a heart attack and then the bombardment of highscores respawned him back!

You understand the massive implications you are making here?
Game looks so hyped. Glad to see it's getting great reviews.

I saw a 25 hrs and 30 hrs just glancing through a few reviews. Longer than I would have thought.

EDIT: Ah never mind. Looks like a good game but I already have way to much to play. I think I'll wait a little bit.
Nice. Very nice. This game reminded me of the Dreamcast era as soon as the trailer was revealed. So pumped.

as i pointed out in the other thread, there is a conflict of interest on the Gamertime.co.uk: 9.4 review.
i'm interested in playing the game regardless of how many 9s or 6s though.
oh man that review score is pretty damn good.
and then i noticed the giant ad in the background of the site lol.
not only on the review either, its on their front page as well (pretty much the background on all its pages atm)

Good reviews. I look forward to playing it when Xbone is $350 or less

Kotaku does give it a yes, but mostly for the gameplay itself, they really didn't seem to like the humor or style

Anyone surprised that Arthur Gies gave an Xbox One exclusive a favorable score needs to have their head examined.

How big is the entire map? Could you compare it to other open world games size?
and is it open to explore from the get go?

People can never make up there mind as to if Polygon is bias or not.
See, it's not so bad over here, is it?

Any reviews bring up the concern about the glacial game speed yet?
Kind of silly to knock the game because you chose to exploit the style system in one area that allowed it, acting like you can do that anywhere.
No kidding. Where was that 'Polygon is biased' crap in the Horizon 2 review thread?

I asked you in that thread, but do you have any proof that the ad department and the editorial department comingle or one exerts influence on the other? Taking an ad does not mean they influence the review.
People are more concerned with confirming their preconceived notions than facts.
I just want to give you a hug!

Fuse was actually pretty solid, gameplay wise.
Ah yes, that problematic speed...,

I only played on R&C, so i'm not sure.
There is a NeoGAF call-out though.
I finished the story campaign at 15 hours, but I putzed around for a bit. Side stuff: extra missions, weapon and traversal challenges, multiplayer, and you can replay every missions again for leaderboard stuff and more XP/money.
I had issues in the beginning, but I grew to love it. Think of your character as a restrained version of Deadpool.
Yep, ran fine for the most part.
