It's a pity LEGO in the 21st century is so preoccupied with licenced works. Rock Raiders is possibly the most criminally underused property it ever had. What's more, the graphical fidelity of its recent 3D games is excellent. A remaster/remake of this game in that engine would look as good as these cutscenes!

Based on whats been leaking lately, we might be in more luck this summer. In late 2020 LEGO will be having Ninjago, Hidden Side, *and* a new theme called Monkey Kid running at the same time. Three minifig-based, story-driven, original IPs. Last time we had three at once was Ultra Agents back in 2014, If I remember correctly. Still won't match the glory days of the 90's-2000's, but at least it's a little more varriety.

Talk about nostalgia. Rock Raiders is still my favorite LEGO theme all these years later, and I've never forgotten this game (along with the first LEGO racers). I definitely had a love-hate relationship with it. I didn't know what I was doing half the time, so a lot of the levels became ridiculously frustrating. At the same time, it was fun and funny and really brought the theme to life.

I named my Rock Raiders various names like Job Dude 1, Great shot. But then I had to name a few Stupid Guy 1, Stupid Guy 2... Because they would always walk over lava and stand directly in the way of a landslide; or, they would just stand around and do nothing when there was ore to pick up, energy crystals to get. As much the AI was supposed to be the same for every Rock Raider, they acted very differently. Some were good at defense, others good at reinforcing walls, driving vehicles, but there were some that would not to anything even if they were trained to do a job. They simply would not do it. There is one mission where you have to use multiple vehicles to find your way back to your base. I had like 3 Job Dudes that were trained in everything... And who do I get for that mission? Stupid Guy 2 who just knows how to blow up walls and himself along with them. Top 5 All-Time Greatest Lego Games Ever. Lego City Undercover, Lego Island, Lego Rock Raiders, Lego Star Wars The Complete Saga, and Lego Racers. Another underrated Lego game is Legoland.

This intro.. So much nostalgia.. :/

So, what happens in the first scene is: lms explorer is barely outside the event horizon of a black hole, and the sudden impact of the asteroid causes them to pass the event horizon. The black hole operates like a worm hole of sorts and teleports them to a distant galaxy. In that galaxy and more specifically they find themselves in a planetary system, and conveniently, the nearest planet is rich in Energy Crystals. Hence the start mining to hopefully return home. Correct me if I'm wrong

Its too bad this game never got a sequel with more planets to harvest natural resources from, new but dangerous mining equipment, customizable Rock Raiders, new environmental hazards like poisonous gas or sink holes, and more alien monsters to defend your base from. One level that would have been awesome is if the teleporter malfunctioned and it started teleporting Rock Monsters and Slimy Slugs aboard the LMS Explorer. so you and a dozen other Rock Raiders grab your guns and go through the entire ship clearing out the monsters and try to shut down the teleporter before it brings more monsters aboard. that would have been awesome because I always wanted to see what it was like inside the LMS Explorer.

As of right now, there are a team of people working together on "Project Island", which is a Brand New Fan-Made Lego Island game!

The best part of this game was the cutscenes... I played for the cutscenes lol.

I don't know about you, but the mumbling noises the characters make to "replace" voices didn't really bother me much, in fact I find it very practical rather than lazy. It made the game easier to release worldwide without changing the size of the game too much. Furthermore, the comics which came with the sets didn't have actual text either so I find it an OK adaptation in that aspect.

I was a big fan of this theme back in the day! Looking back at this cutscene, I got to give kudos to the Rock Raiders. I consider myself a fairly together guy, but I definitely would've crapped my Lego pants if a freak accident transported me to an entirely different galaxy.

This was always one of my favorite Lego themes. Just something about it made it stick with me the longest. My grandparents got me that big ol Rock Raider HQ set one Christmas when it first came out and I just thought it was the most epic thing ever.

If only they made a game like this as a tie-in to Lego's "Aquanauts" toy-line, or even their "Adventures," ninja, knights, pirates, "Insectoids," or astronauts series. Those were also cool.

The level with the lake of fire eating your base from all sides was annoying but in all the game was a blast.

Just finished this game again for the first time in 18 years haha. I remembered a longer cutscene at the end strangely and after watching this full cutscene video I recall something rather odd.. I was dissatisfied with the ending to the game, at about 6 years old, and so invented my own, vividly recreating what I wish I'd seen; The Rock Raiders hurrying to the collapsing White Hole through which they first entered the System. The tunnel through space all but having dissipated nearly trapping them forever.. The LMS Explorer rushes towards the bright light of the swirling vortex and just as the galactic bridge twists into itself and disappears the vast spacecraft makes it past the threshold and emerges back in the Milky Way. The intrepid Space Miners back home at last. My mind cemented that as an actual experience rather than a lucid imaginary scene. Crazy.

Man I loved this game so much.

I like it without dialogue. Easy to put in different countries, and you can imagine what they're saying yourself.

OOH, I saw this set in the Lego catalogoue back then. I wanted it so badly! Never got one :( These cutscenes reminded me of Aliens (the James Cameron movie). Or at least would have reminded me if I saw the movie and had this game at all. Oh well, it certainly does now! The scenes where the rock monsters appear, and also where they run from the lava, would have given me nightmares if I see it as a kid. Those would be awesome memories.

super cool!

I remember having this disc but I couldn’t played, I was just able to watch the miniclip and that’s all :((

This game LEGO chess and LEGO island 2 were the best LEGO games hands down

No. There's an emerge map with trigger and emerge squares. When a unit crosses a trigger block (on the ground), a monster will emerge from a wall in the same space as an emerge block that has the same number as the trigger just activated (assuming enough time has passed - usually there's a 2.5 minute wait time after a trigger in which that emerge number cannot be triggered, so as to not spam the level with enemies).

god i remember playing this game at my friends house when we were kids... makes me kinda want to play it all over again... :D
