Over G Fighters

''Over G Fighters'' is a combat flight simulation video game for Xbox 360 developed by Taito and released by Ubisoft on 27 June 2006 in North America.

The single-player mode of the game revolves around a group of multinational fighter pilots operating within the fictional Energy Airforce, set in the near future. In response to a wave of global terrorist outbreaks that threaten international security, these courageous pilots take on a leading role in launching a decisive assault against the terrorist threat. Players assume the roles of these pilots and have the opportunity to fly a range of modern fighter jets from both Western and Russian arsenals, as well as European aircraft. Each character possesses distinct attributes and specializes in various aircraft categories such as European, modern, naval, and attack planes. The game's campaign mode offers an extensive experience, immersing players in diverse theaters of war, encompassing dogfights, bombing runs, covert missions, air support, and naval strikes. Notably, Over G Fighters stands out by employing actual names for planes and weapons, and it features authentic real-world locations rather than fictional settings. The game introduces elements of realism, including scenarios involving fuel depletion and weaponry management in expert, hell, or arena modes.
