Story
A pair of Apache AH-64 helicopters, the Dragonfly and the Ladybug, have been sent on "Operation Midnight," a covert mission to rescue a scientist who is being held hostage deep in enemy territory by the fictional Al Shakkur terrorist organization. Early in the mission, two allied trooper carriers are shot down, and the helicopter crews are left without their support. The team must infiltrate an enemy chemical weapons facility, extract the hostage, plant explosives, and escape.
Characters
Gameplay
Midnight Raiders is a full-motion video shooting game. The player takes the role of the rookie gunner "Joker," part of the crew for the Apache helicopter Dragonfly alongside the veteran pilot "Stryker." They are accompanied by a sister helicopter, the Ladybug, and its pilot, "Sparks." The team's mission takes three phases: in the air, on foot, and in a Jeep.
Gameplay consists of short shooting segments against fast-moving targets, interspersed with numerous dramatized cutscenes. When an enemy appears, the player has a brief amount of time to aim (using the D-Pad) and fire at the enemy. If the player fails to shoot the enemy (or misses), the enemy fires and costs the player a life.
The game has options for toggling the target boxes (green overlays that show the hitboxes of targets to assist with aiming) and changing the difficulty (Easy or Hard, which affects the number of missiles given).
