3D Space Invaders shooter that fails on every front. Ugly visuals, repetitive play, dreary atmosphere. No reason to revisit today, not even out of nostalgic curiosity for the original IP.

Collector interest

The Korean edition of Space Raiders, Taito's third-person shooter reinterpretation of Space Invaders. The game itself was poorly received and its ludic interest stays low, but this Korean release makes it desirable for an entirely different reason: the GameCube saw very little distribution in Korea, and its local editions rank among the machine's rarest. Its value rests on that regional origin rather than its merits.
