After a vicious warlord threatens the nations of the world with a massive military invasion, the United Nations have recruited an experienced pilot by the name of Jake Steel in order to bring peace back to the world.

The player participates in a variety of missions against both air and ground forces and can fly in four different aircraft (the British made Panavia Tornado ADV, the Japanese Mitsubishi F-2 fighter, the A-10 Thunderbolt II and the F-14 Tomcat).

The general idea of the game is that the player is launched into a 3D war zone with the task of flying a fighter jet.

The player must defeat enemies with various weapons like missiles and gunfire as quickly as possible while obtaining as little damage as possible.

The game was also planned to be released in North America as Lock On 2, but was cancelled for unknown reasons.
