B-17 Gunner: Air War Over Germany Image
Metascore

Generally unfavorable - based on 9 Critics What's this?

  • Summary: The 390th Bombardment Group in Tuscon, Arizona, was actually consulted on this budget-priced, arcade-style, airborne shooting gallery in which the player goes for high scores by nailing as many German planes as possible in a series of short "mission" stages.
Score distribution:
  1. Positive: 0 out of 9
  2. Negative: 4 out of 9
  1. Ultimately, despite the mission briefings and added element of switching cockpits and taking over as the bombardier, the game still gets repetitive.
  2. It is a glorified rail shooter, in the vein of Virtua Cop 2, among others.
  3. For the very indiscriminate gamer, or those just crawling out of a 1982 bomb shelter, this would be the cat’s meow. For exactly twenty minutes.
