Top Gun

Top Gun is pretty much an Afterburner clone despite the little change from third-person to first-person perspective and in no way a serious flight simulation. I am generally not a fan of this type of shooting game. Added to the flight action there are notoriously difficult landing sequences and tanking in mid-air sequences which have to be managed if you don't want to lose a life. For a game based on a movie its not too bad I guess, at least it was a bit better than Ocean's computer versions. But that doesn't catapult it into regions above being only an average game.

You're a High Flying Fighter Jock. The Hottest Pilot in the Heat of a Battle. The sun shimmers on the horizon as your armed-to-the-teeth Navy fighter screams from the carrier deck, accelerating into the danger zone. High above hostile waters your mission is to defend the task force from enemy attack. Suddenly, bogeys flash onto your radar. They're everywhere, diving toward you at Mach 2. Only a second to react, you go to guns and arm missiles. Your heart pounds and palms sweat as you blast into the dogfight with cannons blazing. Tracers zip past your engines. Shells shatter your senses. Now it's just you against them. And to survive you'll need more than speed and firepower. You'll need guts and instinct. You'll need to be a "TOP GUN" pilot.
