    I breezed thru the first level but the challenge increases as you progress forward. If you are a fan of the original arcade releases or a straight forward arcade shoot'em up then this is for you!

    After Burner sports merely decent graphics while managing to suck all the fun out of a once-great franchise. [Apr 2007, p.92]

    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...The game challenges without frustrating.

    It could've used additional multiplayer options and the overused rock music gets old. Past that, the game play, graphics, customization features and humorous touches from Planet Moon (like a flying cow) make this a game PSP owners should gun for.
