Top Gun is a combat flight simulation game developed by Doublesix and published by Paramount Digital Entertainment.
Mission objectives include killing a target, shooting down enemy aircraft, destroying gun emplacements, and escorting a wounded fellow fighter.
Weapons includes missiles and a machine gun, and the player's health automatically regenerates after a waiting period.
He concluded that Top Gun was an "overpriced, underwhelming, uninspired, and unceremoniously average" flight combat game.
[8] Play UK found the gameplay to be "dull",[18] and Mike Cruz of 1Up.com considered the game mediocre.
[7] Gies stated that Top Gun consisted of the same gameplay that had been used for decades in flight combat games.
He also wrote that the game takes bits of exposition and dialogue from the film and places them often without any context during the in-mission cutscenes.
[10] Petit criticized the "awkward" attempts to "find excuses to shoehorn nearly every memorable line" from the film into the game.
