SAVE GAME — Save a game in progress to your memory card (8MB)
(for PlayStation®2). The Save Game choice is only active if you visit the Main Menu from gameplay.
LOAD GAME — Resume a previously saved game from a memory card. This option becomes active when you have at least one DX: THE CONSPIRACY game saved on the memory card.
TRAINING — Begin the tutorial training mission. It is not necessary to complete the training mission before playing DX: THE CONSPIRACY, but training is strongly recommended for first-time players.
OPTIONS — Customize your control, sound and other game settings. See the following section for more details.

THE STORY SO FAR ...
DX: THE CONSPIRACY takes place in the near future, in a world on the brink of collapse. Divisions and hostility have been aggravated by the growing gap between the rich
and the poor. A privileged few live high above the dangerous city streets, in protected penthouses, while the majority of the population struggles below to survive. Besides
the daily threats of violence, the average person also has to deal with an increase in fatal epidemics, the cures for which are available only to the wealthy or the heavily armed.
The United Nations Anti-Terrorist Coalition (UNATCO) struggles to maintain order
in the face of international attacks, borne out of this fragmentation and disillusionment. At this time the organization is dealing with the Gray Death, a worldwide plague. Although there is a cure, called Ambrosia, the development and distribution of it have been slow. The National Secessionist Force (NSF), a reputed terrorist organization, claims the cure is being blocked by secret government organizations, so they have taken terrorist countermeasures.
In the game, you play J.C. Denton, a rookie agent for UNATCO. You follow in the footsteps of your older brother Paul, who is also an agent for the coalition. You’ve both been selected as prototypes for the nano-technological augmentation program.
When the game begins, Paul has been an active agent for a few years, and you are on your first mission. Assigned to retrieve a hijacked shipment of Ambrosia on Liberty Island in New York, you will finally have the chance to put your Augs and your training to the test in the field.
STARTING A NEW GAME
In DX: THE CONSPIRACY, you are agent “J.C. Denton,” a nano-augmented covert operative for UNATCO, the United Nations Anti-Terrorist Coalition. To begin a new game, select the NEW GAME option from the Main Menu and press the ˛button. If you haven’t already done so, it is highly recommended that you complete the Training Mission before starting a new game. The Training Mission will ensure that you are adequately prepared to play DX: THE CONSPIRACY.
COMBAT DIFFICULTY LEVEL
When you start a new game of DX: THE CONSPIRACY, your first choice is selecting a difficulty level. There are four difficulty level settings: EASY, MEDIUM, HARD and REALISTIC. At higher difficulty levels your character has less health and is more susceptible
to combat damage. Once you select a difficulty level, you cannot change it without starting a new game.
CHARACTER CREATION
After you’ve selected your starting difficulty level, you are automatically taken to the Choose Name screen. Before beginning play, you must give your game character a name. Use the directional buttons to scroll through the letters and create a name. This will become your “real” name in the game, but you will usually be addressed by your code name,
“J.C. Denton.” Your code name cannot be changed.
After you have named your game character, you will
be taken to the Select Skills screen. You can enhance the abilities of your character
in 11 different “Skills” by assigning Skill Points. You do not have to upgrade your Skills before starting a new game. Skill upgrades can be made at any time during gameplay provided you have enough Skill Points.
A recommendation for UNATCO agents — spend a little time in the field to discover which Skills might be most useful to you before you upgrade. The situations you encounter and your individual play style will help determine which Skills you need to upgrade and which ones you don’t.

There are 11 Skills listed on the Character Creation screen: Computer, Medicine, Weapons-Low Tech, Multitool, Swimming, Weapons-Pistol, Environmental Training, Weapons-Demolition, Weapons-Rifle, Lock-Picking, and Weapons-Heavy. Use
the directional buttons to scroll between the different Skills in the list. Each Skill is described in detail in the description window below the Skill selection. Scroll through the description text for each Skill by using the Íand Ïbuttons.
Each Skill has four levels of mastery: Untrained, Trained, Advanced and Master. You begin the game with each Skill at the Untrained level (except for Weapons-Pistol, which begins at Trained level), and you are given 5,000 points with which to increase your Skills.
The cost for the next level in each Skill is listed next to the icon.
There are four menu options available in the Select Skills screen:
˛button – UPGRADE — Highlight a Skill
and press the ˛button to increase that Skill by one level. You can only increase a Skill if you have sufficient Skill Points available.
◊button – DOWNGRADE — Highlight a Skill and press the ◊button to reduce that Skill
by one level (minimum level, Untrained), which
will return the associated points to your point pool. You can downgrade your initial pistol Skill to increase your point total for other Skills, but this is not recommended for first-time players.
¸button – CANCEL — Return to the Choose Name screen without starting a new game.
START button – START GAME — Save your Skill choices and start the game. From this point, you can only make further modifications to your Skills through normal advancement in the game.
PLAYING THE GAME
This guide is written with the assumption that you are using the default control scheme. If you have selected an alternate control scheme, the controls and commands listed below may vary.
LOOKING AROUND
The first thing you’ll want to do when you start a mission or begin training is take a good look around. Your point of view is controlled by the DUALSHOCK®2 analog controller.
•Use the right analog stick to rotate your view $ and ^ or look * and @.
•Push the left analog stick * to move forward and @ to move backward.
•To strafe (side-step), push the left analog stick $ or ^.
TARGETING AND FOCUS
Your targeting/aiming cursor always appears at the center of the screen. To interact with an object in the world, you must “focus” on the object by approaching it
and centering your cursor on the object. The name of the object will appear and brackets will surround it.
While you are focused on an object, press the ˛button to attempt to interact
with that object in the most appropriate way (pick up an item, open a door, read a book, talk to another character, etc.).
HUD (HEADS UP DISPLAY) READOUTS
Health Meter |
Bio-Energy Meter |
|
Compass |
Air Supply Meter
Your internal nano-processors constantly make diagnostic checks on your physical status. This information is transmitted directly to your optic nerve in the form
of a passive status readout. This information is displayed on your HUD, which is centered at the top of your screen.
HEALTH METER — On the left side of your HUD is your Health Meter. This bar and the number below it track your current health status. The number below
the bar represents your health points. If the bar is full, your health is fully charged. When your health points reach zero your character is dead.
BIO-ENERGY METER — On the right side of the HUD is your Bio-Energy Meter. This bar and the number below it track the amount of bio-energy currently
available to power your augmentations. When it is fully depleted you will be unable to use your augmentations until you find a repair bot or biocell to replenish
your bio-energy.
COMPASS — In the center of the HUD is the Compass. The nano-systems in your body can detect variations in the earth's electromagnetic field. By using the Geomagnetic North Pole as a reference, you are effectively equipped with a Compass
to aid navigation.
