Xbox 360: Over G Fighters

[DeathKnight]

Not sure how many other people have a 360 here... Anyway, I picked up Over G Fighters today. The sped employee at EB felt he needed to share his opinion of the game when I went in to buy it. "It sucks." Ok, whatever you say buddy ;) User reviews seem to be positive and people who like flight games are enjoying it. My impressions so far after about 4-5 hours of play are that it's pretty good so far. Controls are pretty intuitive and the gameplay mechanics are picked up after a short time of playing. If you don't feel like reading the manual I suggest starting with the main campaign first otherwise you'll be fumbling and guessing with what to do. I've seen complaints about there not being a great sense of speed, but I don't think I've ever played a fighter sim which had one. Camera angles during replay remedy this though. The graphics are excellent (using 1080i output to my 27" HDTV), but not over-the-top "WOW!!" or anything. They get the job done. Framerate is silky smooth and there's no screen tearing whatsoever.

I've only unlocked about 4-5 jets so far, but I find myself coming back to the F16C the most. I seem to have the most success during the majority of the missions so far with that jet. Overall the game is really solid so far. I've really just scratched the surface (both in the game and this 'review' if you want to call it that). If you're into jet fighters chances are you'll enjoy it. I think it dips enough into the whole sim experience without being daunting like many of your PC sims. It's got a good blend of arcade and sim, but the arcadiness isn't really noticeable at all (if that makes sense).

Is it worth $60? Don't know yet. I can tell you I'm having fun with it though ;D

You should notify that guy's employer that he's trying to discourage customers from purchasing products ;)
