GameZone's Louis Bedigian felt that Top Gun: Combat Zones and Star Wars: Starfighter were the best flying games bachelor for the PS2.[26] Other critics opined that Ace Gainsay 04: Shattered Skies was a superior game.[2] [4] [25] Tim Surette of GameZone wrote, "Entertaining at times, frustrating at others, Height Gun never actually picks gamers up and takes them away."[7] Edwards stated that the game "offers the base of what could be a very fun game, only just doesn't back it up with the fun role."[2] Computer and Video Games chosen it a "dull shoot 'em up" with "no real sense of speed to the craft y'all're piloting," and combat that is "long-winded, frustrating and fiddly."[24] Critics considered the controls easy to utilise,[28] [26] [half dozen] [2] but were critical of the in-game map for difficulty in locating enemies.[23] [2] [6] Radcliffe criticized the presence of a time limit.[25] GamePro stated that the missions tin go surprisingly dull and repetitive, and wrote, "There's often trivial tension, making the game feel less similar flying in combat and more similar running errands."[28] AllGame's Jon Thompson praised the game's variety, but stated that the planes largely handled the same as one another.[23]
