The game looks acceptable. Flight Simulator has been doing graphics like that for a while and in my opinion, Ace Combat 5 looks much better.

What is up with that storyline? It sounds like a Liberal's wet dream of Utopia. It's not realilistic at all.
 
I also think that it looks OK but not awesome. I'd like to see some close up's of the ground first. But hey, you can fly over Tokyo, which is cool imo so I guess that I'll follow the development of this game...
 
I guess I am impressed because Ive never been much into flying games, in fact the only one Ive had a chance to play on Xbox was crimson skies, while a fun game, wasnt very impressive graphically.

I actually tricked 2 guys at work into thinking that was some new plane the government was working on because the screenshots are so clear.
 
I have a feeling that Ace Combat 7 is just going to be a better game, especially if it has online play.

MAY CONTAIN SOME SPOILERS...........Also Provides Some Inside Information For Those Thinking of Buying.
Over G Fighters is a FLIGHT "SIMULATOR" at its finest hour. Never before have I seen a Flight SIM that felt this real. The turns, the shots, the warning signs, your wingmen reactions to your actions and the enviorment. The missions are very realistic as well. Nothing you cant handle, nothing your plane wouldnt be able to handle and nothing that wouldnt really happen in the real world. The upgrade (or down grade depending on your preference) of planes as you go from mission (all across the globe) to mission comes at a nice enough rate to not be upset at the lack of planes to start with. The control takes some practice but after you got it down youll feel like your in a flight combat training programing. The options are amazing at the least. You can custom the fuel tanks (add more or remove some), the missles (replace the ones on your plane with different types for different objectives), add or remove bombs (not to be confused with missles), or go back and change the whole plane if the plane your using for the current mission isnt doing the job. Your not stuck with 1 plane, you can use any plane for any mission (the SIM helps you out a little and tells you what planes are a "BAD" choice).
I saw someone ask on another thread about "EJECT", nope, theres no EJECT. Although, if you look closely, it seems as if theres a shute flying over the reckage after you blow up (in replay mode).
The online (multiplayer) mode was actually pretty fun (though very short). I didnt play all the modes but the ones I did play (quick match) you got 1 life and 1 chance to work with your team and claim victory. It was 4 on 4. We started off flying on some random map (somewhere over the pacific: lol), the mics worked perfect, we could all hear each other, then our radars kicked on and told us of the enemy position. From there on it was as simple as shoot them down before they shoot us down. Well, the objective was simple, getting it done took me a couple of deaths. After a few games though I had to down pack and was killing at least 1 or 3 planes each run. Well, the online play ran pretty much the same as the Single Player mode, the difference being the mission at hand (Dog Fight) and the intelligence of the enemy (in multiplayer, your not facing A.I.'s).

Ok, Now for the bad news (for some). Over G Fighters is NOT A GAME! Well, I mean it is a video game for your game console, however, after playing this game I am forced to elaborate the difference of GAME and SIMULATOR! Blazing Angels is a flight GAME, Over G is a flight SIMULATOR. If you purchase this SIM with the thought in mind that you are going to have a fun action/adventure air-plane game, youll be completly disapointed. Youll find more action in Blazing Angels then you will in Over G Fighters. However, in Over G Fighters, youll feel like the action (though small in comparison) feels more realistic. I know people who like Battlefield 2 and RainbowSix better then Halo 2 because those games are a lot more "REALISTIC". Well, Over G Fighters fits right up that ally. If your looking for a Video Game, DO NOT BUY THIS. If your Looking for a Flight SIM, something that feels real, get it.
After reading around I realized one of the most mentioned problems is the speed. I have to agree with those people on that one. Doesnt matter what jet I get into, doesnt matter how much throttle I give it, dopesnt even matter what alttitude Im crusing on. I dont truely get a feel of speed in this SIM. Nothing at all, clouds dont WHOOSH by, controller doent viberate, vision doesnt blur, my jet doesnt even react different at full throttle other then the speed of a 180 turn. Which, if I'm at full throttle feels like forever, but at no throttle, its quick (which is realistic by the way). The graphics when flying/fighting/dodging at 1500 ft or more is ok. Not exactly Xbox 360 (Next-Gen) Quality, but if your into the game, you wont notice the graphics (other then those of your jet, which are 100% on target) that much because youll be to into the mission to stop and look at the other jets appearence. When flying under 1500 ft, the buildings and landscape are disapointing. When you get that low you find yourself trying to get back up because the look of the landscape removes the realistic feel of the game. Its that bad. The sound is actually good. Your jet sounds real, the music isnt over powering, its just low enough to hear everything going on with your jet and high enough to hear a little IRON EAGLE (that was all I could think of once I unlocked the F-15J - lol). The NPC's (A.I's) do talk to you, not enough to drive you insain and look for a off switch, just enough to get info out of them and continue. The transision from one mission to the next is horrible. The characters display is horrible. I felt like I was playing a game from 96' when I was taken back to the briefing. Outside of the flying/missions, this game offeres nothing. There are no nice loading clips, no nice mini movies, you dont get a real feel of the other characters (other then thier voice) and the story line feels....ok. Unless you make it in the future or in the past, its kinda hard to make a jet game in this day in age with a good background story, so you kind of just accept it.
