    Ignore the linearity of the level design and embrace the PSN's most adrenaline-fuelled game since WipEout HD. [Issue#193, p.102]

    Afterburner Climax is a great, and reasonably priced way to play the arcade game in the comfort of your own home, but it's a remarkably simple game that will leave some people wanting a lot more.
