Game Description
After Burner: Black Falcon invites players to hunt down and defeat a mercenary organization by taking the controls of 15 different licensed military planes in a single-player campaign. After the group known only as the Black Falcon manages to pilfer 13 top-secret fighter planes, gamers are called upon to work their way through a variety of missions and boss fights to regain each aircraft. Throughout the game, players may customize such jets as the F-14 Tomcat and the AV-8B Harrier with several mechanical, visual, and weaponry upgrades to improve strength, speed, and maneuverability. With an Ad-Hoc connection, gamers may cruise the clouds with friends in competitive or cooperative multiplayer gameplay.~ Gracie Leach, All Game Guide

After Burner: Black Falcon is a flight combat simulation video game. Unlike previous games in the series, it is exclusive to the PlayStation Portable and not a port of an arcade game.
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 supports "numerous multiplayer challenges" in both eight-player competitive and two-player cooperative modes.
Characters
Billy "Sonic" Blaze A speed-junkie USAF pilot. He worked as a car and bike racer and video game tester before joining the Air Force for more speed in his life. His ex-girlfriend "Diamond" surprisingly joined up with Black Falcon which left Sonic devastated. He pilots a F-15E Strike Eagle.
Harrison "Bull" Duke A marine pilot for the USMC. A very talented pilot with a sarcastic personality, Bull intends to quit the Marines soon and work for the private sector. His sole reason for helping the hunt for Black Falcon is to gain money and fame which will help his mercenary career in the future. He pilots a F/A-18E Super Hornet.
Tomiko "Shinsei" Rossellini A female United States Navy pilot who is obsessed with perfection. Her mother was Japanese while her father was a talented pilot for the US Navy who was stationed in Kadena Naval Air Base in Okinawa. She grew up watching Navy planes which also motivated her to be a pilot as well. Her reason for accepting the mission is to prove to everyone that she is the only candidate to be the squadron leader. Her nickname Shinsei means "Perfect". She pilots an F-14 Tomcat.
