Top Gun 2 Now Available for iPhone and iPod Touch

LOS ANGELES – August 19, 2010 – Paramount Digital Entertainment and Freeverse today announced Top Gun 2 is now available on the App Store for the iPhone and iPod touch. In Top Gun 2, players jump into the cockpit to engage in air-to-air and air-to-ground arcade combat, utilizing all-new high-speed defensive maneuvers and offensive attacks. Using the accelerometer, players will dodge enemies and deal devastating damage as they navigate through seven unique environments, including outer space.

“Following the success of the original Top Gun app, we wanted to offer fans another opportunity to fly into the danger zone,” said John Kavanagh, senior vice president, Paramount Digital Entertainment. “In Top Gun 2, Freeverse built on the best qualities of Top Gun and added new content, better controls, more action and higher quality graphics to create the fastest, most exciting jet fighting combat we could imagine.”

Top Gun 2 features dynamic level design that keeps players on the edge of their seats with surprise attacks and unique gameplay. Players can choose to pilot one of three jets: the F/A-18 Hornet, the F-16 Fighting Falcon and the F-14 Tomcat. Each jet comes fully equipped with upgradable cannon and missile systems. In addition, each features unique special offensive and defensive capabilities. The F-14 features Metal Storm attack, which obliterates all enemies on the screen and Afterburner defense. The F-16 offers Missile Barrage, which unleashes a torrent of missiles and Shield defense. The F/A-18 features Smart Bomb, which triggers targeted strikes and Flares defense. Players will blast enemies to a raucous soundtrack by Brooklyn based rockers Daredevil Squadron as well as the all-time classic composition “Danger Zone.”

Additionally, fans that already have the original Top Gun iPhone game can now download a free upgrade for the title. The new Top Gun update allows players to pilot the iconic F-14 jet and adds the Afterburner feature to the classic game. The Afterburner allows players to activate a high-speed boost to get out of dangerous situations. iPhone iOS 4 compatibility is included in the upgrade.
