Strange game this. Honestly. When i first put this into the machine i thought what the fu3k!
The mission's started off, shoot a couple of planes, mission over. Progressed a liitle bit further, same old same old. Then, suddenly, it get's really good. To be honest it got a little better for me when Achilles06 (TractorBoi) on this site told me to change my config setup. It got alot easier to play and harder to put down.
I know see why the mission's started of that way, because they get bloodly longer and harder. At this time of writing i cannot say how many senarios ther are, but they seems a few. Also, choose a certain mission and a different path opens up to complete the senario, hence replayability value.
Now the important bit for some - graphics. Well they are poor in some cases and brill in some. The game uses satelite imaging, a lot like google earth, to plan it's missions, therefore over cities and deserts/jungles they are good, over sea's not so.
Gameplay is good and seems to be getting better. The menu's are typical japanese cartoon/manga style characters. Games made by Taito. published by Ubisoft - so it's a hell of a lot different then Blazing Angels.
There is also a live mode. I haven't played it yet, but Achilles06 (TractorBoi) is going to leave a review of this. He said that it was a brilliant mode of upto 8 players. The game also has a challenge mode that works along the princpals of the main game.
When i find out more i will post, but overall a game that is very good when you put the time and effort into it (which isn't that much really).
There are 38 achievements to get and these seem pretty straight forward, i think most involve completeing certain missionsto unlock a new aircraft.

PS Forgot to mention a key point of the game. Go up/tilt to far or much in your aircraft and the screen goes grey. Drop down to fast etc and the screen goes red. These are meant to be effects g-force effecting blood to drain away or overflow the brain! Hence it's title Over-G Fighters.
