  • Summary: The game features great multiplayer for 2-4 players (a 'lite' mode where only one player has a cartridge, and a full mode where every player has a cartridge), simulator and arcade modes, a ton of aircraft, air-to-ground, ground-to-air and lots of dog fighting. If you like flying, Top Gun and, most importantly, blowing stuff up... then you'll love this game. [Mastiff] Expand

  1. On the whole, Top Gun is a solid game. Even though it does not use the DS to its fullest capacity or really add anything new to the genre, it is loads of fun.
  2. When all is said and done, Top Gun – while technically impressive overall – is not really all that enjoyable or rewarding of a game. Cheap deaths and respawning enemies do not a good game make. At thirty bucks, there are so many games that might be better worth your money.
  3. 50
    With a little more time and balance the game could have been the Nintendo DS's own Ace Combat game - but as it is it's just a little too limiting and basic for its own good.
  4. But the gameplay is so simplified and dull that after a few minutes in the cockpit I was ready to crash into a nearby mountain. [Apr 2006, p.86]
