What is Night Raiders? 08/06/2003 DaPlaya
Night Raiders is a modification (mod) for the Serious Sam game engine, current plans are that this mod will only work on Serious Sam: The Second Encounter.

Night Raiders is set in the near futre when street motorcycle gangs rule the night, holding races or just a good old fasion gang war.

Night Raiders features only multiplayer sytle game play modes, team deathmatch mode, deathmatch, race mode, and score mode. The best way to describe the game is 150Km/h on a motorcycle armed with chains, pipes and small arms.

Team deathmatch places two rival gangs at each other, the team with the least losses after 10 minutes is the winner.

Deathmatch is a free-for-all battle royal, everyone has the same weapons, similar bikes and it's only the skill of the player that chooses the winner.

Race mode is where players must complete a set number of laps, or reach a destination as quick as possiable.

Score match is similar to race mode except that points are gained for knocking players off their bikes, and a bonus score is given to the first place winner of the race.
