A modern-day HD version of a classic arcade game at its finest. It was made with love and it shows. While it plays similarly to the classic, it gets a huge upgrade with "Climax mode", which slows down time and the crosshair grows larger (later used in the 3D port of After Burner 2 for 3DS). Also you get an HP bar "armor meter", so now you can take a few hits before dying. While it's a short game, you can beat it in 15 to 20 minutes, the game offers huge replayability in branching paths and different endings. 360/PS3 version expands on that with EX options. Basically by meeting certain conditions while playing the game, you can unlock certain tweaks to the main game. Stuff like from changing the number of credits/lives or changing the visibility of the screen to changing the behavior of your jet (should you have a large cursor all the time, should you lock on automatically, should the gun/missiles have infinite ammo and fire automatically, etc.). The worst thing about this game is that it got delisted...
