The campaign mode was criticized as being repetitive and too short, although Play did not mind the short length. Gies stated that Top Gun consisted of the same gameplay that had been used for decades in flight combat games, and wrote, "It would be less annoying to see such predictability if the game weren't such a chore to control." Reed thought the controls were easy to use, while Cliff Bakehorn criticized their layout, stating that the controls "feel like they were strategically designed to twist your fingers like a pretzel." Cruz described the controls as "unnecessarily difficult" and too "loose".
Play found the gameplay to be "dull", and Mike Cruz of 1Up.com considered the game mediocre. Kristan Reed of Eurogamer praised the game for its "undeniably solid, arcade-style" combat, and stated that "there's a measure of craft about the whole thing that you'd expect from a mid-priced boxed release, never mind a cheap, download-only affair." Carolyn Petit of GameSpot stated that the game "delivers some terrifically exciting action that will make you feel like a real Maverick, whether you're a fan of the film or not." Game Revolution praised the large playing environments. He concluded that Top Gun was an "overpriced, underwhelming, uninspired, and unceremoniously average" flight combat game. Cliff Bakehorn of GameZone also questioned whether there was really demand for a new Top Gun game. Arthur Gies of IGN questioned the decision to create a video game based on a 24-year-old film: "It's not a film that holds any particular amount of modern day relevance". Top Gun received "generally unfavorable reviews" according to Metacritic. The game includes various trophies that can be won. The game also includes a cover version of Kenny Loggins's song " Danger Zone" from the film. The game includes online multiplayer for up to 16 people, through the PlayStation Network. In Horde mode, the player is given a barrage of enemy aircraft to shoot down. As the game progresses, the player gains access to the F-16 and F/A-18 fighter jets. Weapons includes missiles and a machine gun, and the player's health automatically regenerates after a waiting period. Mission objectives include killing a target, shooting down enemy aircraft, destroying gun emplacements, and escorting a wounded fellow fighter. The first mission is a prologue, while the next three are training missions, and the remainder are set over the Indian Ocean. In the main campaign mode, the player must complete 11 missions. It is based on the film of the same name, and it retells the plot of the film, with the player taking control of "Maverick" in an F-14 fighter jet. Top Gun is a combat flight simulation game.
