    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

    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.

Her nickname Shinsei means "Perfect". She pilots an F-14 Tomcat.
