Paramount Digital Entertainment and Freeverse recently announced the imminent launch of their sequel to the highly-acclaimed Top Gun game for iPhone, Top Gun 2. The announcement is accompanied by a few in-game screenshots, that offer a glimpse of how the game will look like

Top Gun 2 follows the successful Top Gun iPhone game, and promises to provide action-packed air-to-air and air-to-ground combat with dynamic level design and adrenaline-fueled excitement.

In Top Gun 2, the players will take control of US Navy jets and navigate complex environments in the arcade-style shooter. Players will be able to use the phone's accelerometer feature to perform new high-speed defensive maneuvers and offensive strikes.

The Top Gun 2 main features include: more jets and more weapons, adrenalized arcade action, seven unique theaters of operations.

Gamers have at their disposal three state-of-the-art combat aircraft to choose from: the F/A-18 Hornet, the F-16 Fighting Falcon, and the F-14 Tomcat.

All three can be easily upgraded with cannons and missile systems. In addition to standard-issue Sidewinder missiles and Vulcan cannons, each jet has unique offensive and defensive capabilities.

The F-14 features Metal Storm offense and Afterburner defense, the F-16 offers Missile Barrage offense and Shield defense, and the F/A-18 features Smart Bomb offense and Flares defense.

The story of the game continues from the original Top Gun game, but this time USS Enterprise is entering enemy waters and hunts down the Communist aggressors.

The players will be challenged to complete a various set of missions, such as: Search & Rescue, Clear the Way, Make the Skies Safe Again, Bogies Everywhere, and many others.

In addition, the soundtrack of the game powered by the rock band Daredevil Squadron, as well as the classic composition "Danger Zone" will surely keep players hooked.

Top Gun 2 for iPhone should be available for download from AppStore in the coming days.
