It looks and plays fantastically well and recalls the days when flight sims were something fun and accessible as well as requiring intelligence.
The planes look pretty and they fly with precise controls and accurate physics, but that’s about all you can say nice about Over G.

I've never come across so many lazy gamers and critics in any one industry. This is NOT an arcade game, it is not meant to hand you all the flight levels on a plate. Once you've completed all the mission modes it's only the beginning of a very long process of learning all the flight mission assessment and tricks. If anyone thinks their that good take off from the main base head to the carrier heading 270 from the single player mission mode land on the carrier and take off do a circuit 20 times take off and land on the carrier without crashing. There's only one guy out there i know who can do it and I'm not sure even if he is cheating, on auto pilot non manual controls. This is the best video game ever period, the developers where years ahead of their time 12 years ago. This is the best flight simulator console game ever as well. If you cant fly this system you know the reason why. There's no need to run the game down. I've got 13 hours training UK GB and I fly this game on air-shows at the white/hotel base with retired pilots from the USAF & USMC USA. If you cant handle the game it's because of your limitations NOT because the game is rubbish or bad. I use a 50 inch LCD screen 1080 high colour TV, I sit about 5 feet away in a swivel chair.

Been playing it for like 10 hours, its different from Ace Combat or any other ARCADE flight simulator. There is a good variety of planes to unlock and the game has replayability potential. While the game tries to be realistic with physics, g-force and missile behaviour; there are a few missions that would really work better on an arcade flight sim. Evading missiles is useless and will likely end on your death, wich in turn sends you to play the level all over again since there are no checkpoints on the missions or autosave feature. Thats a big turn off.
The game crashes from time to time when you finish a mission and unlock an achievement (a new plane) and then you have to play the mission all over again to properly unlock the plane and manually save your game to have it available for further missions. The music is unremarkable and the story is just a tiresome excuse for it to be a single player mode you have to play in order to unlock better planes.
However, when the game is not actively kicking your balls it turns enjoyable and really entretaining. The other two battle modes (Arena and Fight) seems promising and more fun that the campaign. Its a good flight simulator but its not like Ace Combat. Its also old af. But it is enjoyable

A very average game. Sluggish controls and a lackluster presentation really hurt this game. The lack of real mission variety doesn’t help matters either.
The visuals are very disappointing, the music is terrible, control is weak, the gameplay is average and the price is $60. You do the math.
A good example of why realism in games isn't necessarily the best outcome.
Even the multiplayer over Xbox Live can't save this title from a near-complete flare-out, and while there's nothing actually broken about Over G's gameplay, it still comes off as stale and tedious.
From the laughable briefing scenes to the flighty controls, this game is simply not fun. The design, from front to aft, is flawed and, frankly, not up to par with the Xbox 360's standards.
Over G Fighters, I am being generous by giving it a seven. It has good three dimensional graphics and mediocre sound quality. The cut scenes were low quality, they were almost like a powerpoint slide show with audio. Over G Fighters is an average military flight simulator at best. The levels get difficult too quickly for the average gamer and the amount of enemies are too many with too much firepower. I enjoyed the game but honestly I would only recommend this game to just above average gamers.

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.
