Monsters include the rock monsters, ice monsters (who pick up Lego guys and squeeze them), slugs who slime up the walkways, and so on. The PC version of this game is very much about resource management, but the PlayStation version, in addition to having some resource management elements also has a more arcade-y feel and more adventurous missions. When a Lego guy gets too weak, he's teleported back to the ship for recuperation. As mentioned, no one dies in the Lego world, and there are some monsters. The goal is to gather enough crystals and ore to get you home. You begin by teleporting a bunch of Lego guys down to the mines on the unknown planet and ordering them to drill. In any case, their ship gets sucked into a black hole and spat out in another galaxy, and they must land on a planet and drill for ore and crystals so that they'll have enough energy to get back home. In the seven-minute intro, you're introduced to a spaceship full of Lego men who don't talk so much as make recognizable grunts, moans, and squeals so that people from all parts of the world can understand them.

Rock Raiders is one of two games being released for the console by Lego Media (the other is Lego Racers), and it's a 3D action game with some resource management involved. And besides, they weren't really interested in eating you anyway - they were just after your crystals.

No one dies in the Lego world, which is important to remember when you take your gun to the rock monsters - the monsters simply splinter into pieces, and all the pieces crawl away.
