"Some classic arcade games haven&s;t quite held up and although G-LOC: Air Battle is one such game; it still offers some short-lived fun."

"An action-packed arcade title with a greater focus on offensive play than the likes of After Burner. G-LOC&s;s first-ever home release is a welcome one. It&s;s got a couple of frustrating stages and, as is the case with most arcade …"

"Overall, I felt that G-Loc was a very impressive port. It’s still a very fun, seldom-ported scorechaser at the end of the day, and while some may not like the cockpit perspective or dated visuals, it’s still a solid way …"

"While the Switch version inherits the original game&s;s unvaried, repetitive gameplay and short-lived sessions, it mitigates those issues thanks to online leaderboards, a brand new AGES mode, and a moving arcade cabinet display—no quarters required."

"SEGA AGES: G-LOC Air Battle is a great version of the funny Yu Suzuki&s;s G-LOC Air Battle arcade, and a great addition to the Nintendo Switch Sega Ages collection since this arcade had never been released on the domestic market …"

"Of course, brevity is par for the course when it comes to ports of classic coin-op titles. But even so, many other games in the SEGA AGES lineup will keep you busy for considerably longer than this release. Still, if …"

"G-LOC is by no means the best game of this type Sega’s released, but it&s;s serviceable and fun. The Sega Ages port is, as usual, excellent. However, morso than many of Sega’s games from this era, G-LOC certainly shows its …"

"While it falls a bit short in terms of content and variation of gameplay, EGA Ages: G-LOC Air Battle is still pleasant enough to play today, albeit in short bursts - just like in the arcades."
