The '''5708 Rock Raiders PlayStation Game''' was published by LEGO as a part of the [[Lego Rock Raiders]] franchise made by [[Data Design Interactive]] and published by Lego Media International on August 17, 2000. Unlike the [[PC game]], this version is an arcade game where players take control of one of the 5 main Rock Raiders in 18 story-based [[Levels#Playstation Game Levels|Levels]]. The game introduces new items such as Red [[Energy Crystals]] and [[Rockwhale|Rockwhales]], and items cut from the PC game, such as [[Large Spider|Large Spiders]] and [[Scorpion]]s.
 
The game was originally listed as "220551 Rock Raiders PlayStation."  It's original list price was $44, but this soon dropped to $30 (MSRP).  It was originally slated for release in October 1999, but it was pushed back till a year later.  Two different versions of the game were released, including the [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/NTSC NTSC] (National Television System Committee) standard version, and then later the [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/PAL PAL] (Phase Alternating Line) standard version, which added more content to the game.
<br><br>
==Storyline==
The story here takes place parallel to the events of the PC game. [[Axle]], [[Jet]], [[Sparks]], [[Bandit]] and [[Docs]] are called in to assist in various missions, which vary from collecting Energy Crystals to rescuing Rock Raiders from teams that have been lost or stranded during unseen missions analogous to those depicted in the PC Game.
 
==Core Gameplay==
In the NTSC version, there are eighteen missions. The first five are named after one of the Rock Raiders. [[Level 1 - Jet's Mission|Jet's Mission]] is an example. Each mission focuses on each Rock Raider's individual skill. The rest of the missions - thirteen in all - are freely playable with any of the five members.
 
In the PAL version, all eighteen of the main missions, distinct from the NTSC variant, can be played with any Rock Raider. In addition, there are three Secret Missions. These are unlocked by achieving Gold Medals on all three previous sets of missions.
These missions - and the Secret levels - can be viewed on the [[PAL Playstation Game Levels]] segment of the Levels page.
 
Missions take place in three environments: [[Rocky Terrain|Rocky]], [[Icy Terrain|Icy]] and [[Molten Terrain]]. Hazards and Lifeforms in missions vary accordingly, as do the difficulty levels as the player progresses.
[[Vehicles]] are available on each mission - with the exception of a few - to help the player complete the objectives. In some missions, [[Ore]] must be found to build a certain vehicle.
 
Objectives range from finding Energy Crystals to rescuing trapped Rock Raiders, with both of these objectives combined in some tougher missions.
 
==Levels==
 
The [[Levels]] page should be consulted for further information on the levels in the game.
 
 
==RRU Information==
 
[[Rock Raiders United]] currently has no equipment for modifying the PlayStation game. However, a [[PWP Extractor]] has been developed to extract files.
