After Burner: Black Falcon is a flight combat simulation video game, and is the latest game in the After Burner video game series. Unlike previous games in the series, it is exclusive to the PlayStation Portable and not a port of an arcade game.

[edit] Overview

The game's plot sees a terrorist cell dubbed Black Falcon planejacking 13 prototype fighter jets dubbed "Assassin" from the CIA. There are three different plots to choose from, each with their own plot-twists. Players will be tasked with making the skies friendly again by screeching through the skies in an assortment of 19 originally designed planes, including the F-14D Tomcat, the F-22 Raptor and the F-15E Strike Eagle. Each of the planes can be customized with a variety of weapons, items and custom paint jobs.

After Burner: Black Falcon will support "numerous multiplayer challenges" in both eight-player competitive and two-player cooperative modes.
