It remains to be seen just how well After Burner: Climax will translate from its arcade greatness over to a downloadable form on consoles, but at least it still looks purty. And we mean everything about it, from the clean and simple Sega UI, to the well-designed dynamic lighting on the planes and explosions, all the way out to the great-looking vistas that catch your eye just as you fire up the 'burners and race for the horizon ...
What? Oh, sorry, we got a little carried away in the Climax there. To see what we mean, lock your targeting reticule onto four new screens from the official Sega America blog in the gallery below.

Arcade version is awesome with the whole tilting chair stuff, don't think a console version is gonna replicate the same experience though (though it'll have a longer single player i suppose)
and the special multi-lock multi-fire all multi-kill all-at-once-super-slo-mo special power is totally awesome

Well if you have a couple of friends that owe you a favor you can ask them to tilt your chair for you to replicate the arcade version. Probably would give them a 5 minute break between levels though, could be hard work.

Can't wait until it's on the Xbox 360 marketplace. This game looks sweet!

This game will not be good.
Okay okay, it will still be awesome... but it will never be as fun as it was when I played it in an arcade with the deluxe pneumatic chair and giant high-def screen a few feet away from your face. You've never seen quarters disappear so fast!
