After Burner brought from the arcades to the home consoles is a great port... as long as you have a flight stick. The sega version of this game is well done clear cut port from the arcades, though isn't as immersive as sitting in the arcade cabinet. This game requires a flight stick though. It has little entertainment value with the standard with the standard controller.  
After Burner is still able to hold the over the top action fun of its arcade predecessor... As long as you have a flight-stick.
