After Burner: Black Falcon

"After Burner may be spiritually true to Sega's seminal 1987 hit, but game design has progressed by leaps and bounds since then. Cleaving so closely to its dusty, outdated forefather hurt more than it helped, I'd say."

"This straight-ahead arcade action game hits its mark with a good deal of enthusiasm."

"What we've played of After Burner: Black Falcon so far seems great. It's a mostly shallow experience, sure, but it's also fast and furious fun."

"In the jet games I’ve recently reviewed, I felt like I breezed through the missions and thus their shallow customization options, but that didn’t happen with After Burner. Making sure you don’t go down in flames involves picking up combos, rolling and accelerating at the right moments and always paying attention to the big picture when it comes to your enemies. The game challenges without frustrating."
