Based loosely on the absolutely spiffing feature film, Mission Impossible invites the player to assume the role of Ethan Hunt (Tom Cruise's character) in a sinister world of espionage and deadly secrets that includes five separate missions and levels of varying length and complexity. There are specific tasks to accomplish in each level such as picking up extra equipment for use in later missions, but as you plough through the game, the similarities on each level become a little disheartening. There really should be more of a challenge involved. The only real challenge is toggling between the three different control modes, but if you're a fan of the film, as yours truly is, there's enough here to keep you occupied for a long while.
