Space Raiders, known as Space Invaders: Invasion Day[1] outside North America, is a 2002 third-person shooter video game developed by Taito, a remake of the original 1978 Space Invaders arcade game from its creators. Re-imagined for the sixth generation home consoles, Space Invaders: Invasion Day takes the surface-to-air shooting action of the original title and puts it into a third-person urban street setting on the GameCube (Japan and North America) and PlayStation 2 (the latter only in Japan and Europe). This update features detailed opening cinematics of the alien invasion, story and survival modes, boss battles and three playable characters, each with their own backstory.
