Histoire (IGDB)
The sun shimmers on the horizon as your armed-to-the-teeth Navy fighter screams from the carrier deck, accelerating into the danger zone. High above hostile waters your mission is to defend the task force from enemy attack. Suddenly, bogeys flash onto your radar. They're everywhere, diving toward you at Mach 2. Only a second to react, you go to guns and arm missiles. Your heart pounds and palms sweat as you blast into the dogfight with cannons blazing. Tracers zip past your engines. Shells shatter your senses. Now it's just you against them. And to survive you'll need more than speed and firepower. You'll need guts and instinct. You'll need to be a "TOP GUN" pilot!

Critiques de la Presse (Metacritic)
« 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. »
« Top Gun is far from perfect, but it’s a solid first entry into the genre on the DS, and should more than satisfy DS owners waiting in heavy anticipation for games like Star Fox DS, DS Air and Freedom Wings. »
« 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. »
« 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. »
« Unfortunately, Top Gun rarely rises above it’s recycled mission structure and repetitive dogfights that ultimately makes this a forgettable experience. »
« 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] »
« Much like Slider in the movie upon which this air combat game is based, Top Gun for the DS does, in fact, stink. »
« Iceman has done it again; who knows what kind of shoddy licensed drivel he'll chomp his prolific teeth at next? »
