Top Gun isn’t just fondly remembered for its sassy locker room scenes and constant mentions of getting hard-ons. Even with some ground and sea assaults, there’s a mountain of redundancy in the air combat.
This would actually be great for a short arcade action title, but these controls fuel a 15-level solo campaign, a wave battle mode and online components as well. Engage enemies, attempt a hard lock, QTE, bleep, boom. It’s good, simple fun that’s easy to get a grip on, but this is the flow for the entire game. Fudge it and you’ll be the one trying to escape. Pull them off and you’ll get another shot at the hard lock. If you miss the hard lock, you’ll be prompted to engage in some fancy maneuvers in the form of a quick-time event. Keeping your reticule trained on the bad guys long enough gets the hard lock, and launching a heat-seeking missile finishes the job. The surefire way to drop an enemy is to engage them in a “hard lock.” When close enough, pressing “X” latches focus on them, automatically steering your ship while you concentrate on aiming. Simply aim the reticule on any target and fire at will. You see, why worry about preserving your missiles and gunfire when the ammo automatically regenerates itself in a short period of time? This allows you to concentrate on maneuvering your aircraft with both analogs (left stick for general movement, right for spins and thrusters) and manage weapons with the face buttons. What we have here is a modern flight combat game that is light on simulation and heavy on arcade shooter action. There isn’t any beefcake volleyball going on in Top Gun: Hard Lock at all. Now, thanks to 505 Games, I may finally get to be like Mav after all in Top Gun: Hard Lock, available for Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3. I knew that I may never have what it takes to be like Maverick, a cracker-jack beach volleyball player who loves fighter planes, motorcycles and Kenny Loggins. But more importantly, it taught us all something very special - playing beach volleyball is the coolest thing in the world.
Little did I know, I was watching the birth of a movie superstar named Tom Cruise and the 500 per cent popularity increase of the Navy. It was my birthday in April and my family popped in a little VHS rental they were all excited about called Top Gun.
