Re-imagined for the sixth generation home consoles, Space Raiders takes the surface-to-air shooting action of the original title and puts it into a third-person urban street setting on the GameCube (Japan and North America) and PlayStation 2 (the latter only in Japan and Europe). This update features detailed opening cinematics of the alien invasion, story and survival modes, boss battles and three playable characters, each with their own backstory. Plot Massive saucer-shaped objects appear in the city skyline of an unnamed city and begin bombing the city below. Explosions continue to reverberate through the city as gigantic plumes of black smoke spring up from the buildings. The origin of the saucer-shaped objects is unknown. One observer reported seeing scores of green beings emerging from craft, spreading out across the ground and assaulting humans fleeing the aerial bombardment. Authorities have concluded that the saucer-shaped flying objects are "space invaders". The city has been declared off limits, and the authorities have announced that there are no survivors. However, according to reporters, two males (Justin and Naji) and one female (Ashley), all armed, were spotted heading toward the city center where the alien saucers seem to have gathered. One of the males is apparently a minor (Justin). Gameplay The playable characters include a street teen named Justin, a fashion photographer named Ashley, and a police officer named Naji (all of whom have similar play styles). From a fixed height behind the protagonists, the player directs them to aim and shoot at increasingly large waves of various aliens as approach the character's position. Characters can move side-to-side as in the original arcade game, but also have limited movement both into and away from the screen. Occasional power-ups become available, giving the player temporary access to special weapons. Strategic use of power-ups is required, as the variety of aliens and diversity of their attacks will not allow for the straight forward shooting of the original arcade game. The game contains six missions and can be completed in under two hours. A port of the original Space Invaders arcade game is included and unlocked by a cheat.
