Just in case you're on the fence for the game, Sunset Overdrive is $39.99 on the Xbox Store.

This is easily my favorite game of last year, so I'm pretty excited for this FINAL expansion. Unfortunately I can't find any reviews so we're going to rely on hands on impressions for right now.

DotRofFM is $9.99 or free with the Season Pass.


What are you waiting for!!

I am playing right now. Unsurprisingly its pretty damn bitchin', some funny/amusing references too. Ive got quite a few achievements left to get from the ones they've added too so plenty to keep me going.

Just a tip for anyone not wanting to be spoiled on awesome twists that happen in the DLC, don't watch the trailer.

I don't know why but all of Sunset Overdrive's trailers seem to be spoilerific, yet I always watch them anyway.

The new trailer is really good, though!

I think they added a new respawn animation and it is amazing.


You jump out of a drifting flying car, look and then Walter comes and steals your car.

Cool.

I haven't had the time to play anything recently, but I'll be sure to download this when I get the time.

Some estimates on play length would be appreciated.

It's a ridiculous time to be an Xbox One gamer this week...

Sunset dlc, Super Time Force update, Geo Wars 3 update, Fast & Furious, Lego sale, Pool Nation, Child of Light and Neverwinter.

It's too much!

So, maybe I'm just dumb but I can't find the first diary entry in the side mission.

I looked everywhere but no luck...

even without the DLC, we added an easy 200 gamerscore achievement today as well as a big patch that fixed lots of things

Dude, these patches are seriously appreciated. Me and the significant other have auto log-in with the Kinect, and often play in the same room. We ran into tons of weirdness from having the secondary account active without even knowing it. For example, I played the main story mode with no enemy healthbars. And notching down the auto-record for game DVR is a very good thing.

well, it's $60 for the game plus season pass, so it's like the season pass is free. can't go wrong with this game, it's amazing.

Just to say, guys, get the main game for 40$, it's awesome.

My personal GOTY of last year and simply the most enjoyable traversal ever in any open world game.

Sadly this has been a quiet dlc, no one is really talking about it. Sucks causes this was an awesome game:(

Agreed. One of the better game last year and yet after a decent amount of hype it seemed to die on the vine. I had no clue it even got DLC though I guess I remember a season pass or something so I guess I blame MS for totally leaving it to die.

Leaving it to die? MS has done several promotions including where you could play the game for free over an entire weekend. If you haven't been keeping up on it then that's on you.

I don't want to play the victim card, but every time anybody mentions Sunset Overdrive it seems like there's a whole ton of "what's up, fellow kids" type posts. This one's not on MS; they've done a lot to promote it, from free weekends to a billboard in Times Square.

One of the heavier marketed games last year too. It sadly failed to find an audience, not much can be done about that...

Nice. Just finished DL and will be starting it later after I beat Shantae.

I was a bit disappointed in the first dlc but I can't say no to more Sunset.

How long is it? I beat the first DLC pretty quickly and have all the achievements.

The story portion is 2 hours at best. There is of course Chaos Squad, Challenges and collectables as well, but I'm not sure how many people are playing the game for those components.
