A level-based approach to both games gives children a progressive challenge that grows with their playing experience and presents new goals at every stage. LEGO Rock Raiders on PC CD-ROM is also the first resource-based strategy game that is really ‘kids compatible’. The game has been developed in parallel with the LEGO SYSTEM range and features the same mini-figures, vehicles and rock monsters that are available in physical form. LEGO Rock Raiders is the first LEGO Media product that will be launched at the same time as the linked construction toy theme. Players aged eight years and older must navigate their way through the dangerous underground, avoiding natural hazards and creatures like the Rock Monsters, while mining the precious resources that will enable them to re-energise the ship’s engines and get them home. Stranded in orbit around an uncharted planet, the crew of the geological survey ship LMS Explorer has detected large deposits of LEGO® energy crystals and LEGO ore hidden beneath the planet’s surface. Based on the newly announced LEGO SYSTEM™ theme of the same name, LEGO Rock Raiders™ places the fate of the crew of the LMS Explorer in a resource strategy game on PC CD-ROM and 3D action game on PlayStation®. LONDON - LEGO Media International – who develop, publish and market media products for children between the ages of two and sixteen – has announced two new games set in a dangerous underground world.
