Gamers all over the world have always been fascinated by flight games and first person shooters. Historical warfare now comes to PSP from Cowboy Rodeo and Graffiti Entertainment. Air Conflict: Aces of World War II is an exciting game which takes players through 240 missions from seventeen cockpits.

As a player, play in one of the campaigns or match up to the host of players in the ad-hoc multiplayer mode. If you play solo, you get to name your pilot and also select a country to fly for. The game captures most of the features included in the original Air Conflicts PC version. A player’s faction choices include the US Air Force, USSR, Luftwaffe the German Air Force and the British Royal Air Force.

Each country features various campaigns. You can also go through the training process which will equip you with skills on using the controls. For instance, you can learn how to drop bombs with the help of the Square button, how to shoot rockets using the Triangle and how to successfully operate the machine guns with the X Button. However, as you take part in the missions and destroy planes, you are provided with new planes and new missions without having to go back and replay the unsuccessful mission.

In the interesting bombing runs, use the D-Pad to tap and obtain a lower view. Limited number of bombs at your disposal forces you to handle the encampments that are ground based using machine guns and missiles. Have fun chasing your enemies around. Visuals seem to be mediocre. The ground textures especially are blocky and bland. HUD features a speed tracker, compass, radar and a damage gauge. Text display with comments and story synopsis is too small and hurts the eye.

The games musical score is a bit odd and out of line. In spite of its various flaws Air Conflicts might capture the flight and war game enthusiasts. Releasing on 15th March, this game supports the game sharing feature. Dog fighting is sure to provide excitement too. PSP fans can expect this game very soon in the stores. Enjoy fun fighting air battles on your favourite PlayStation Portable.

PSP owners now have the tremendous opportunity to experience spiritual and faithful arcade action. This is possible with the arcade After Burn: Black Falcon, even though it obviously lacks the presence of imposing and large traditional arcade machines. But even though you will only be piloting the fighter jets in After Burn: Black Falcon on your tiny handheld PSP, the game still offers that same exciting arcade experience.

Let’s now talk about the game’s plot and gameplay which actually revolves around 13 prototype jets that have been stolen by a rogue mercenary group from a secret research facility in Nevada. You’ll play as a member of the Joint Task Force Scramble Team and it’s your responsibility to prevent the mercs from succeeding by either recovering or destroying the stolen jets. To accomplish this task you can select from three humorously archetypal pilots, each with their own strengths and weaknesses. You’ll get to watch their impressive profile in a dramatic and cinematic sequence at the beginning which is actually quite entertaining.

The actual gameplay involves various levels that are quite short in length and only last approximately 7 minutes. Despite the levels’ short duration, you will find these seven minutes full of non-stop challenging action that is even hard on the normal difficulty level. Each mission contains a specific objective like taking down a psychotic foe pilot or a hospital ship with baby bunnies. The best part of After Burner - Black Falcon (PSP) is its consistent and never ending in game action. However, as the successor to the original After Burner, one would hope for less glitches in the gameplay, although the never actually stop the game from being fun.

All the jets in the game have superior flying abilities, with high top speeds, maneuverability and payload ratings, together with a large selection of unique weapons. These weapons include missiles for ground targets, rockets for air targets, unlimited machine guns for close range targets and more. The lock on targeting is used by both missiles and rockets, while the targets themselves are actually colour coded. So anyone who wants to unleash their inner fighter pilot will probably enjoy this game, despite some minor glitches.
