Paramount Digital Entertainment announced on Tuesday the release of Top Gun for the iPhone and iPod touch. Based on the classic movie, Top Gun for iPhone and iPod touch costs US$2 (a special introductory price — it will go up to $4).

Top Gun — developed by Freeverse Software (and previewed by Macworld in April) takes you to the United States Navy Fighter Weapons School, where instructors Maverick and Iceman help you compete to become the next Top Gun.

Top Gun for the iPhone takes place several years after the events of the movie. Iceman and Maverick are now instructors at the Top Gun fighter pilot school. You play as a hotshot trainee who, over the course of ten missions, becomes an accomplished fighter pilot in his own right. The cut scenes that move along the plot are rendered in a cartoon style reminiscent of the old Nintendo version. Seeing familiar faces throughout the story, hearing the adrenaline-pumping theme song, and once again engaging in dogfights should reawaken fond memories for anyone who saw the original release.
