The popularity of the original film lives on, and thus an update on the time-honored story. The movie that rocketed Tom Cruise's popularity to its height makes for an excellent game, as TOP GUN: Firestorm is packed with the dogfights, strategy, and interpersonal tensions that made its source material so cool. You'll pilot an F-14 Tomcat through many levels of training, fighting, and trick flying. The four different terrain types provide a wide variety of unique challenges for would-be aces, and the collection of enemy fighters is mighty, to say the very least. There are 12 missions in all, and each one will require a different skill set and all of the weapons you can get your hands on. Making the most of its access to full-color graphics, this GBC take on the game boasts incredible animations and detailed terrain from takeoff to landing and everywhere in-between. Whether you're a fan of old action movies or you're just looking for an exciting game, this one's a major score.
