Even if its release date slips this game is pretty much finished now, and the new demos doing the rounds at shows and events really show the potential that this game has. Most everyone mentions the visuals in this game, so I'll talk about something else... Its great to see designers return to a good old-fashioned arcade blast!! This game is about scoring points, pure and simple. Score the points, get the golds, receive the unlocks = Sweet. Your score racks up as you play, just like on an old arcade machine, and points values zip all over the screen as you wreak havoc, all adding to the action.

It goes deeper than this though, or so it seems. Watching the gameplay, you start to see intricacies in the scoring system that hardcore gamers are crying out for: there are chances for score bonuses littered everywhere, hidden ones as well as the obvious damage, accuracy and time bonuses you get at the end of a successful mission. For example, it looks like multipliers are attached to each weapon, so you gain more for using the harder unguided weapons and your main gun, also bonuses mount up for 'skill shots' (which look to be long-distance kills), and for 'snap shots' and 'fluke shots', whatever they are! Like other games, you can also boost your scores by skimming close to the terrain as you play through the mission, and what terrain! You can really throw your plane around and through the gaps in the masses of buildings, pipework, canyons and rock outcrops that show up in the demo levels.

Hopefully (if they get it right!) this kind of gameplay will let you play missions in the style you want to, either fast and dirty Maverick style to timetrial yourself, or tight and clinical Iceman style for high accuracy.

Some things still look rough around the edges in this game, I guess thats whats still being worked on, but I'm looking forward to this one!!

Yeah i just played this game and trust me it rules. I played it at some electronics expo in philly. The game play rules, but if your looking for a realistic fighter simulator this game isnt for you.

Great Game

This is a very addictive game. Great graphics and all that. What I like most about it, is the fact that it is no overcomplicated to fly the plane, like in many PC games. I dont want to learn to fly, I want to blow things up. This is a great game.

I am also a big fan of madden 2002 and Grand Turismo. Top Gun is as good as either of those.

best game on da planet

this game is the bomb i mean you can do anything siriously this game truely rocks. I really recomend that you get it. It is the best game on the planet. I love it. Plus you can do many things on the main menue. The best part is you get to blow planes clear out of a blue sky. You also get to take off from an aircraft carriers. Pretty cool don't you say.

WOW! What a Game!

This is the game I was waiting for!
It's been 15 years since Maverick and Goose last ripped up the skies on the silver screen.
Featuring the US Navy's most sophisticated fighters, you'll be going head to head with MiG's and other bogeys in high velocity air-to-air combat. Top Gun-Combat Zones is the definitive action fighter game. With 36 missions, this game lets you experience every single situation a jet-fighter pilot can put himself Through. High altitude dogfights, low-flying blitz attacks, military and civil rescues, City/Arctic/Desert missions... You will have to fight against dozens of different airborne
and ground-based enemies to prove worthy of your Top Gun pilot rank. This is the game to show off the graphical potential of the PlayStation 2, featuring astounding low-level detail and realism that no game can ever match.
Don't hesitate this is the best buy!

This is awesome

This is My #1 favorite game of all time. I am going to be a Naval Pilot and this game handles just like a plane. The graphics are great and so is the gameplay. The F-14 Tomcat is the #1 best and my #1 favorite plane of all time. And whoever rated this game low then 5 stars is stupid.
Top Gun
