The single player campaign followed eight agents working for the counter-terrorist organization SION. SION stands for Special Intelligence Operations Network. The game allowed the ability to play as one of eight SION agents each with varied strengths and weaknesses. The abilities were based on speed, stealth, armor, assassin, sniper, demolitions, etc.
This Video Game contains examples of:
- Action Girl: Duchess, Fury and Kestrel.
- Big Bad: Thorsen. And later John Stier himself, the SION leader.
- Book-Ends: The game starts and ends in a oil rig located in Papua New Guinea.
- Dark Action Girl: Angel and Kat.
