Holy shit from what I saw on the net. The graphics are kind of different and the effects are ruined compared to the arcade version. Also, the cutscenes are missing and especially the additional voices. Another thing that ruins the port is probably the lack of motion controls. Maybe that feature must be way too difficult to use that you're given the normal controls instead with the virtual D-Pad? And why the virtual D-Pad anyway?
Well, come on, what were they doing when making the IOS port of After Burner Climax? The home console version looks even better than the arcade version due to HD graphics and widescreen support but this port looks kind of inferior to even the arcade version. Anyway, the IOS port may seem to be okay to buy but this is not how an arcade game is ported to the IOS.
