Great Real Life PC style Flight Sim Game for your 360.

By ccmxr (cnet.com) Read the full review

It is as close as you can get to a PC flight Sim game on your Xbox 360. If you put the realistic function on (allows you to do barrel rolls and real life combat maneuvers) it as close to flying the real combat aircraft as you can get.

Real life aircraft, real life weapons, realistic airport/taxiways/runways, and realistic combat sorties

Sound is dull and graphics could be a little better

still the best flight simulation game for the '360

By Garaboncias (cnet.com) Read the full review

Over G Fighters is the only flight game for the '360 that is as close to simulation as a console video game can be, using modern video game technology. Which is impressive since the game is now 6-7 years old. I'm still amazed at how beautiful and...

1. closer to simulation than any other '360 flight game ; 2. you need skills to survive ; 3. you can choose a female character ; 4. very high replay value ; 5. plane graphics are stunning ; 6. has a Free Flight mode ; 7. variety in missions & locations

Can't think of any, the game delivers what it should deliver

Over G Fighters

By Neil Vaughan (totallygn.com)

Over G Fighters may seem like a new game name we have never seen before, but Taito have been producing this style of game for a while albeit under a different disguise. Over G Fighters or Over-G as I shall now refer to it… is the latest flight...

Now this is the second flight simulation game of sorts...

Over G Fighters (Xbox 360)

By (cnet.com)

Over G Fighters is the latest jet-fighter simulation from Taito, though it's the first from the company to be released in North America. Like the Energy Airforce games that Taito put out on the PlayStation 2, Over G is a very stock, very standard game...

Though the game attempts to be more than mission-based monotony by also offering online multiplayer and some other options, the sluggish flight controls, bland graphics, and often-poor English translations conspire to make Over G Fighters a vapid...

Branching mission structure; The planes look good

Over G Fighters

By Gabe Graziani (gamesradar.com)

Love driving 4x4s in the mud? Now you can use fighter jets instead

Beautiful jet fighters ; Kick-ass guitar rock during replays ; Crashing into your wingman

Lo-res, muddy textures ; Sludgy, unresponsive controls ; Repetitive gameplay

Shrieking through the sky at over 600 knots, loosing two heat-seekers at an unidentified foreign bogey should really get your adrenaline pumping, but somehow Over G Fighters manages to completely neuter the experience. Sadly, the game takes a...

Over G Fighters Review

By Robert Workman (gamedaily.com)

World Airforce finally comes to the US, but it's certainly no Ace Combat.

I didn't quite hate Over G Fighters, but I couldn't help but be nagged by the flaws that surfaced. The presentation could've used a little cleaning up, the controls would've benefitted from some tightening, the sound could've used a complete overhaul...

It's still got some good multiplayer, and flyboys will more than appreciate the number of aircraft involved, but it just seems overall that the game's a bit of an undera-G-ver. Heh, sorry for the pun. It was either that or take an example from my...

Over G Fighters Game Review - Xbox 360

By Filippo Dinolfo (gamer20.com)

The main Campaign mode is broken up into several missions, spanning various countries around the globe. There are branching paths which will make certain missions inaccessible if you choose a certain path. This means that in order to unlock all of the...

If you're a hardcore flying game fan, you don't have much choice on the 360 so far

Not enough here to warrant the full price

Along with the Scenario mode, there is a Challenge Mode which contains an Arena battle and a Strike mode. Arena mode will have you taking on waves of enemy fighters. The more you take out, the higher your score will be. Since your armaments are...

You could follow along with a FAQ and just do the missions that correspond to the best rewards, but that's almost cheating

Over G Fighters

By Mike Flacy (videogametalk.com)

Having a bit of déjà vu, I found Over-G to be reminiscent of another disappointing first generation release on the original Xbox by the name of AirForce Delta Storm. Both games have serious faults in their gameplay and graphical capabilities, along...

I can't recommend this title to anyone at $59.99, nor should you rent it for achievement points as they take far too long to garner. Over G will rapidly become a budget title and might be worth purchasing when it hits the $5.99 mark. Until that...

It's easily the worst "next gen" game I've played since the release of the Xbox 360.

Over G Fighters

By Arthur K (planetxbox360.com)

Over G Fighters is a Japanese flying sim which lets you control over 30 modern-warfare jets which fight in missions all over the world. While the large number of campaigns and missions coupled with a good number of jets provide a large amount of...

Over G controls are pretty simplistic in that you only need to learn how to use your throttle and how to switch weapons. There are other options like switching modes for your HUD, from navigation to attack mode, but you’ll mostly only be using your...

While different planes vary on how they control, most of them seem slow and almost sluggish in the way they turn and operate; it is not fun dogfighting in this game. Although adjusting to this is no big task, this will still turn many people away from...

Over G Fighters Review (Xbox 360)

By (teamxbox.com)

moniker here in the states

Over G Fighters is such a mixed bag, it’s really hard to get a handle on exactly how to recommend it. Gamers indifferent about military aircraft that are merely looking for a value-packed title will not be impressed with Over G Fighters; it has too...

Being a modern military aircraft lover, I can easily look over the sketchy graphics, the odd interfaces, and the brief missions and just enjoy the impressive lineup of birds. While it’s still hard to justify paying sixty bucks to fly a MiG, Eagle, or...

Over G Fighters- Xbox 360

By Stu Taylor (360-gamer.com)

It's never a good sign when a software publisher opts not to send out review code for a game prior to its release. You don't need to be a rocket scientist to deduce that the motivation behind this is that the game itself might not be great shakes. In...

The superfluous backstory for Over G has you charged with preserving international peace from the cockpit of one of over 30 high tech modern-day aircraft (these are unlocked as you progress through the single-player campaign missions). Those who know...

To say that we were sceptical when we stuck in the disc and booted up the game up would be an understatement
