Rebel Raiders: Operation Nighthawk is an arcade-style air combat game from French studio Kando Games, set in a near future where humanity has spread across the Solar System. The once-democratic Union of World Nations has turned tyrannical, and you lead the Ghost Squadron of the Alliance of Independent States in its fight back. Across 16 missions you tangle with enemy fighters in fast dogfights, using homing missiles that can lock onto several targets at once. A recharging shield soaks up damage before your hull takes hits, and destroying enemies tops it back up, which rewards aggressive flying. Completing challenges unlocks more of the game's 20 aircraft, each carrying its own special weapons. It is an accessible, pick-up-and-play flight shooter for PlayStation 2.
