Windows version
The PC version of the game has the
Developer's Cut subtitle as it includes two added levels (Security Research 1&2). In these, set just before Tower 19, the player gets to explore a bit more of the military complex and can use a Riot Guard mecha suit. Additionally, there's a briefing room for the bad guys in the level which contains a billboard with pictures of the entire Starbreeze Studios team and, in a nearby room, a hidden pack of cigarettes that unlocks a DVD trailer and some behind-the-scenes stuff concentrating on the development team. It also has a Developer's Commentary, which occasionally appears when playing through portions of a level that have a noteworthy piece of trivia
