With the relationship between U.S. and China restored, Echelon now has to return to Georgia where Kombayn Nikoladze is in the Presidential Palace attempting to retrieve a weapon known as "The Ark". Sam Fisher must locate him in the palace and the superweapon.

On the Shanghai version, The FNW cutscene was played first before the Osprey cutscene. This video arranges these cutscenes based on the original Montreal version for clearer comparisons.

The Osprey cutscene for the Shanghai version shown here is from the downloaded version made for PC version because the raw file was hidden somewhere in the PS2 files, making it difficult to locate. The audio is a rip from the GameCube version via Dolphin emulator as the video was originally released in poor mono quality.

This video will show you the full comparison between two versions of the game, as it features most of the contents present differently in this level.

Because this video lengths about an hour, a timecode is given below to help navigate any of the area you would like to see. You can even enjoy this video throughoutly if you wish to know all of changes made for this level.

This video does not represent any gaming skills throughout the level as it was meant to observe the surroundings between two versions of the game.

This video also does not feature split screens, and are not played on a proper hardware. The PC version was command coded while the PS2 version was emulated, so the game does not present correctly to their original intended counterparts.
