After Burner: Black Falcon - multiplayer hands-on

We go full-throttle with the game that puts the "moo" in "multiplayer"

Co-op play will only support two players, but Black Falcon takes a refreshingly open-ended approach to the concept. You'll be able to jump into another player's game no matter where they are in the storyline, bringing all of your unlocked jets and abilities with you, and any points or money earned will apply to your progress in the single-player career mode. So if you're having trouble with a specific mission and have a buddy who's further along in the game than you, you can call them in and have them wreck whatever's standing in your way with their beefed-up jet.

After graduating from college in 2000 with a BA in journalism, I worked for five years as a copy editor, page designer and videogame-review columnist at a couple of mid-sized newspapers you've never heard of. My column eventually got me a freelancing gig with GMR magazine, which folded a few months later. I was hired on full-time by GamesRadar in late 2005, and have since been paid actual money to write silly articles about lovable blobs.
