ACM variety and difficulty increase with game progression.ĭodging missiles with special moves or flares can be challenging and satisfying.
Special air combat maneuvers (ACMs) can help players out of tough situations when they move their controls (left and right analog sticks) according to the prompted icons. Players can avoid most defensive scenarios as their skills and control familiarity increase, but even enemy missile locks don’t necessarily mean the end of the line. Just maneuver then align to target enemies and keep them in the target sights. Game developers incorporate a nice buffer zone when activating this feature and hitting the corresponding buttons once engaged, so exact precision helps, but is not required.Įasy right? This feature has obvious battle advantages…just don’t let the enemy turn the tables. The featured hard lock system lets player engage enemies in a closer camera angle. The online multiplayer mode contains the same elements and interfaces, but underwhelms due to lack of participation from other players. The weapons, navigation, and maneuvering capabilities change as players progress while providing appealing variety and unpredictable with each challenge. The Danger Zone mode features single player fight against increasingly sizable enemy groups. Other rewards include a larger target area for the special lock-on feature. The optional secondary missions reward players with additional allied support including aircraft and ground units.
Each mission has several components involving defense, ground unit, target hunting, dogfights, and covering allies using standard cannons, missiles and cluster bombs. The single player mode features 15 campaign missions, which take about 30 minutes each to complete. The pixellated backgrounds initially distract, but it’s easy to adjust then focus more on the military targets. The planes have a sharp detailed visual representation while the fairly grainy environment and background visuals reflect the dry, arid Middle Eastern settings where debris and airborne particles would be common, especially in flight. The 14 playable licensed planes include the F14D Super Tomcat, F22 Raptor and F/A-18F Super Hornet. The color schemes and icons are prominent enough for easy communication while the control button schemes flow nicely between speed and weapons. The sense of space and movement capabilities correspond well with the simple controls. Players can hear familiar Top Gun phrases, which are a bit overdone and repetitive, as game developers mainly hit their target by creating a fun, exhilarating combat game.įlight sim fans might miss details like detailed airspeed and other settings, but the essential navigation and weapons displays are there.
The military jet action game Top Gun Hard Lock is inspired by the 1986 Top Gun film and concentrates on battles and action filled scenarios with not much character development on the Top Gun Academy pilots.
