Top Gun Hard Lock Review

The production of the another action online game has been announced by 505 Games; Top Gun Hard Lock. It is produced by Headstrong, which were responsible for Battalion Wars, The House Of The Dead:Overkill, and also the Lord of the Rings Aragons Quest, plus it is primarily based on Top Gun, the exceptionally popular nineteen-eighties film. With top-notch graphics, single player story mode and multiplayer mode it is easy to see how Top Gun Hard Lock will give the user a awesome mix of action and aerial combat.

Background
Set in the present day, the online game differs from the film which was watched in the 1980's. The player takes the role of Spider, a happy confident pilot, straight out of the academy. Just like Maverick, Spider is a rule breaker who doesn’t always listen to the boss. Similar to Top Gun, missions will be flown with a wingman and also there is the usual friendly banter during the video game . The graphics are designed to replicate those aerial combat scenes characteristic to Top Gun, reproducing the intimate action sequences with the gamer in the middle of the action. Therefore, the video game looks, seems and seems just like the real Top Gun, but ultimately more modern.

Playing Modes
The gamer modes, Hard Lock and Danger Zone, offer different experiences. Hard Lock single player means fifteen different missions, and they are all set in a different backdrops. Adding to the realism, there are flashbacks to the training academy and conversations with Maverick. Players in Top Gun Hard Lock mode can engage the opponent in dogfights, unleashing amazing weapons on to their targets and executing incredible airborne combat moves, for example loop-the-loops, barrel rolls and hard banks. The capacity to pull off these fantastic moves at the heart of the action continues to retain the player visually satisfied. Throughout each campaign the aim is to engage and defeat the enemy whilst following an engaging and interactive storyline.
The second playing mode, Danger Zone, takes everything the user has learnt in Hard Lock mode and intensifies it. Danger Zone places the gamer against a continual barrage of enemy forces from bombers, enemy aces, ground targets, fighter among others.

Controls
The controls are extremely easyand it doesn’t take a long timeto understand manoeuvrability of the aircraft. A right click is used to perform exclusive moves, including the cobra and within minutes the user will feel as if an awesome pilot able to take on anything at all the opponent tosses their way. When the prospective was located, pressing X is going to employ Hard Lock mode, the camera monitors over the aircraft and auto facilitates with tracking. Unlike a lot of other aerial combat games, Top Gun Hard Lock continually keeps the gamer close up and within the action, the gamer isn't firing at objectives miles away that appear as a blimp in the radar. That will keep the adrenalin pumping and helps it be very visually impressive.

Multiplayer Option
Along with the approximately twenty hours worth of single player story mode is truly an array of multiplayer options, including; 16 player Deathmatch, eight verses eight player Team Deathmatch and four player Co-op. These multiplayer options have three separate missions; Aircraft Escort, Carrier Strike and Base Defense.
