Summary

pilot your f-14 tomcat into a battle for the free world!

The Good

the overall feel for this game is like actually being in the cockpit of a fighter jet, and the control layout does a good job of adding to the feel of the game. the missions are really enjoyable, and you will be tested on every combat level, until you are deemed "top gun", or until you get a game over. the difficulty increases with each combat level, and you only have five lives, so play the best you can!

The Bad

the landing part of this game is the most frustrating part of the mission. you must slow to the designated speed and maintain it, whilst carefully flying the jet to a pin point touchdown on the aircraft carrier at the end of the level. do it correctly, and you win 10,000 points and you keep your lives. fail, and you lose a life, but get to continue the game anyway, so its not that bad.

The Bottom Line

if you like the top gun movie, and you like games that are based around flying aircraft, then this is the game for you. hours of enjoyment await you, if you can perform the landing segments of the game correctly. with this game, you are the top gun hero!!
