Karl White later explained that they had planned to have more monsters on the level but had to cut back due lag issues on the hardware of the time.Even worse, Chief said that " There are Rock Monsters all over the place!". There were few monsters, a pre-built base with a recharge seam, and a massive crystal cache at the north end of the cave. Disappointing Last Level: The last level, Rocky Horror, was rather disappointing.They also have an energy-draining attack that makes energy crystals useless. Demonic Spiders: Slimy Slugs take inordinate number of shots from the Laser Gun to drive off, and will only be warded away by the recommended weapon, the Sonic Blaster (of course, this doesn't really work and you have to resort to Pusher Beams).Priced at $19.95, Lego Rock Raiders is aimed at a younger audience and should be available at retail on August 17, 2000. The game also has a two-player multiplayer mode that allows players to compete in a single tier that encompasses six varied missions. The vehicles give players some additional skills that allow them to get past obstacles in the game that they wouldn't be able to bypass on foot. These vehicles include the Hover Scout, Small Digger, Rapid Rider, Small Mobile Laser Cutter, Tunnel Scout, Loader Dozer, Chrome Crusher, and Tunnel Transport. In the quest, players will be given the chance to use a variety of different vehicles to help them complete their tasks. Players are only allowed to move onto the next level when they achieve a score of at least 15 points in the current tier. Depending on how well players perform in each of the missions, they are rewarded with gold, silver and bronze coins that each has their own point value. Rock Raiders is setup in a tier-based fashion where each of the game's three tiers are comprised of six single-player missions. The Rock Raiders team includes Axel, Bandit, Jet, Docs and Sparks. In the game, players can take on the role of any of the five members of the Rock Raiders team, each with their own special skills and attributes. The role of the player is to guide the Rock Raiders and make sure that they avoid getting killed by the flowing lava, cave-ins, rock slides and denizens like slimy slugs, scorpions, and rock monsters, while all the while collecting the precious goods.
Once large deposits of Lego Brickonium and ore are discovered to be hidden underneath the planet's surface, it becomes the goal of the Rock Raiders to collect the items in order to recharge their ship and rescue their lost team members.
The setting has the player stranded in orbit around an uncharted planet, and as a member of the crew of a geological survey ship, the LMS Explorer. The game features a rather impressive graphics engine that features varying rocky terrain, polygonal vehicles, and sprite-based characters and enemies.
