  • Summary: In Over G Fighters, a terrorist organization threatens the world's peace and security as players take to the skies in a united world air force. Players command more than 30 of the most powerful jet fighters ever conceived and battle for air superiority in massive dogfights in the skies above Europe, Asia, Africa and North America. Players combat enemies in the air and on the ground with challenging and dangerous strike missions against well defended targets deep in the heart of hostile territory. Fly the world's most powerful fighters: Fly every modern jet fighter in the Western arsenal including the F-22A Raptor, the US air superiority fighter of the 21st century. Face more than 90 Western and former Soviet enemies and get in the cockpit of the F-15E Strike Eagle, F-16C Fighting Falcon, F/A-18C Hornet, Su-27 Flanker, MiG-29A Fulcrum, and F-117A Nighthawk. Attempt more than 80 intense missions in a modern-day global conflict: Players take the fight to the enemy in aerial battles all over the world and face massive, challenging missions with interlocking sub-missions. After successfully completing the sub-missions, players will attack the most challenging primary mission objective. [Ubisoft]… Expand

    It looks and plays fantastically well and recalls the days when flight sims were something fun and accessible as well as requiring intelligence.

    Dog fights with 8 people are really a blast and the whole time I felt very little lag. [JPN Import]

    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 Raptor, this is as close as most of us will get to the real deals.

    Only players with a "Top Gun" level of dedication will persevere. Everyone else will start looking for the eject button. [Aug 2006, p.88]

    The negative reviews and votes disgust me. This game is good, but it is made for a small audience, the ones who want to enjoy a 'simulation' on console. The others don't have to bother playing AND voting.

    Even after 2(!) years, with Ace Combat 6 next to it, Over G Fighters is performing surprisingly well. I'm currently (may 2008) reenjoying the campaign.

    The ONLY console (360/PS3) game in which you really FLY a fighter jet.

    DON'T GET THIS GAME IF YOU LIKE ACE COMBAT 6 ARCADE STYLE COMBAT GAMES. This game requires dedication, patience, and a desire to learn flight techniques that require more than "point your nose and fire" thought process. If you like a challenge, and have played games oriented more to flight sims, this is a good used/bargain game. If you want to fire 150 missiles at will, and barrel roll until you get epilepsy, then get Ace Combat 6. For Over G, controls are good, Jets and missiles sound good, but the soundtrack is horrible, Graphics show the titles age, and the menus, mission briefings are pretty rough, run of the mill Japanese style menus. When you get past all that, you'll find a rewarding flight experience that at its core is good. There are glaring deficiencies though. Buyer beware. I like it, but you may not.… Expand

    This game is very unpolished, however the Black-out/redout feature is a breath of fresh air to old school lovers of air combat sims - of which on consoles there are none. This comes close but fails on many levels, graphics, tankers, loadouts ect. So close yet so far away. Really hoping for more- rent- don't buy unless they are practically giving them away.… Expand

    I'm giving this a 2 because it isn't so bad that it deserves a 0, but I would suggest renting it first, that way, you won't have spent over £30 buying it, then finding out that you don't like it, but if you are going to sell it, don't get too excited, you'll probably only make £10.… Expand
