The Russian Soldier is a normal heighted character. He wears dark green, making him darker and less visible. The best levels to use him in would be ones with green. He is not a poor choice but not the best choice either.

Best Level: Crouching in the Stack and Archives. Decent in parts of the Caves.

The Russian Infantry has a little brighter coloring than the Russian Soldier does. This would make him more visible in some levels than in others.

Best Level: Egyptian and Temple. Also good in parts of Caves.

Ugh! What a horrible choice. Everyone shoots the scientists in mission mode, and the same goes for battle. To top it off, those damn bloodstains would be hard to get out of those white clothes. In different Multiplayer levels, He is either easy to see, or hard to see. He also has black pants.

Best level: Bunker. Also good in Complex and Facility Halls.

Same as above but smaller target. No black pants, blends in better.

He's not very common at all in Mission. There are only three of them in the game that I know of. Being dull, he doesn't stand out in many levels, nor does he blend in with dark places.

Best Levels: Temple and Egyptian.

An overall darker character. Not a horrible choice. He can stick out in darker levels, and the same for brighter levels. He would never be my first choice for any level, but there are a few spots where he blends in.

Best Levels: Basement and Bunker. Also good in Complex and the halls in the Facility.

The hostage! Shoot Him! Is what you might hear if you select this character. Since he is a darker color he isn’t as noticeable in darker levels as some of the other characters are. But he stands out in lighter levels though.

Best Levels: Excellent when crouching in the Archives or bottom part of the Stack. Almost an exact match.

The Helicopter Pilot can't be found in Mission Mode. He probably got deleted from the game. Originally, he was probably on the Frigate, where there is a helicopter. He also appears on the selection screen after the Janus Marine and the Hostage. He wears dark blue, and has a helmet. His helmet provides no protection at all though. Why wear it?

Best Level: Water Caverns. Also good in Basement and the blue Facility rooms.

This character is not found in mission mode. He was probably in an earlier version of the game, in Mission 6. As a Multiplayer character, I would list him as average. He is not bright or dark, kind of average, so a decent choice as long as the level has dark spots.

Best Level: Water Caverns walkways, and rest of level, but a dark character is better. Also good in Facility blue rooms.

I didn't bother analyzing the civilians. They are just boring characters. In Mission mode, they don't even have guns. In Mission mode, there is only Civilian #4 with the red shirt and dark pants. The other three aren't there. The only short one is the female Civilian #1 in blue. Civilian #2 wears light blue with a gray vest. Civilian #3 wears dark blue/purple.

The Siberian Guard wears the same uniform as Mishkin. This makes him a dark character making him harder to see in dark levels, but easier to see in light levels. Since he's all black, he's a bit better than Bond, who has a bit of white.

This guy isn’t a bad choice either. He is fairly dark in color. He has splotches for camouflage, but that doesn’t do much indoors. Another fair character to select, he can be harder to see in most levels. I picked this guy the first time I tried out the "?" extra characters after beating the Cradle.

Best Level: Blue rooms in Facility. Also fair in Basement.

The Siberian Guard is a darker character making him harder to see in some levels. His best levels are ones with dark shadows. He really doesn't have any great levels to blend into.

Best Level: None. Decent Levels: Caves, Water Caverns and Basement. Also fair in the Temple and Egyptian.

Ahhh! It’s the abominable snowman! Not exactly. This guy is excellent in lighter and gray levels, but he is easier to spot in dark levels. He is one of the best overall Multiplayer characters, because he blends well with all of the lighter levels. Those red bloodstains will show up quick, though, making him a bit easier to see, but they are also a nice match my red controller, how lovely!

Best Level: Bunker, and Facility. Also good in the Complex, parts of the Basement and the upper parts of the Stack.

Well, this guy is certainly well camouflaged, but again there’s no plant life to hide behind indoors. He is one of the darker characters, but not all that dark. He would be perfect if the Jungle was in Multiplayer. But, unfortunately for him, it isn't.

Best Levels: Crouching in the Archives and bottom Stack. Also fair in the Caves.

The Men in Black. In mission mode, these guys are armed to the teeth and have tons of body armor. In Multiplayer though, they are normal characters. Since they are black, they can go unnoticed in the shadows. Overall, he is one of the best characters to choose in dark Multiplayer levels.

Best Level: Water Caverns. Also Good in Basement and Caves.

"Banana Man!" This guy is just a target in Multiplayer. His bright yellow suit is worse than a "Kick Me" sign. I didn't think they looked very normal in the Moonraker movie either. Don't pick this guy in dark levels, although he isn't good in light levels either.

Best Levels: Egyptian, and Temple.

The Female Moonraker Elite is the same as above, but smaller, and harder to hit.

The other characters have the names and faces of the game's creators. The character names appear in the end game credits, and I've listed each of them below.
