Top Gun Hard Lock Takes You To The Danger Zone

Top Gun Hard Lock is coming soon, courtesy of 505 Games – Check out the latest screenshots and information, right here. Kenny Loggin’s “Highway To The Danger Zone” is optional when reading this post.

It might have been a couple of decades since Top Gun hit cinema screens, but as Ace Combat proves; it doesn’t mean that we don’t all secretly harbour dreams of shooting stuff while sitting in expensive military hardware.

505 Games recognise this, by publishing the Headstrong Games-developed Top Gun Hard Lock. This heart-pumping dogfighter offers plenty of action and excitement, with the titular Hard Lock ability; allowing pilots to lock onto enemy fighters to unleash their deadly payload, all while performing aerial acrobatics such as barrel rolls and loop-the-loops.

15 missions bring the Top Gun world into the modern military age, with a group of up-and-coming pilots protecting the skies from evil-doers. In addition, there is also a Danger Zone mode; challenging the player with seemingly endless waves of enemies; bombers, fighter planes, ground units and other top enemy pilots – All in the pursuit of medals, Trophies/Achievements and unlockable content.

Pilots with a multiplayer point of view have plenty to be excited about with Deathmatch, Team Deathmatch and Co-Op modes – Some supporting up to 16 players. There are also various personalisable options, in regards to real life aircraft, loadouts and paint schemes.

Top Gun Hard Lock will be hitting stores in Spring 2012, on Xbox 360, PlayStation 3 & PC. In the meantime, check out this gallery of images from the game. More information is available at the game’s official site, or Facebook page.
