Nothing is executed especially well, but all of the elements come together to create an enjoyable experience if you can keep an open mind. A lot of its success is due to the fact that things rarely get tedious in MI since the gameplay will change up so often. With interesting gadgets, varying mission objectives, and an incredible skydiving level near the end, Mission: Impossible has done the impossible by being an enjoyable title despite the many problems that stem from its core gameplay.
Sorry ladies, Tom Cruise doesn't make an appearance in Operation Surma. In his place is a generic Tom Cruise look-a-like with a gruff voice that's all too similar to Sam Fisher. Regardless, Ethan Hunt is rendered really well, with detailed textures and fluid animations, and is the highpoint of MI's visuals -- everything else is quite average.
It tries to integrate light and shadows like in Splinter Cell, but it doesn't come close to matching the precedents set by Sam Fisher and crew. Operation Surma AKA "I liked it better when it was called Splinter Cell" doesn't get any credit for doing anything new, nor does it get any credit for doing anything especially well.
It does get credit, however, for being a decent stealth game despite its shortcomings. Stealth action fans looking to keep their skills sharp until the next big thing arrives might want to checkout Missions: Impossible - Operation Surma. For everyone else, it's a rental at best. Games made from movies frequently run into difficulties for many reasons. Often there's a rush to get the game out near the movie's release date generating poor quality or the wrong genre is chosen failing to capturing the essence of the movie.
Mission Impossible: Operation Surma isn't affected by either of these common problems as the genre is perfect for Mission Impossible and it's not tied directly to a movie release but unfortunately still falls short in a number of key areas.
Mission Impossible: Operation Surma is an action based game where objectives are given and generally need to be accomplished without being detected. Cameras, guards, and trip wires all need to be constantly avoided which isn't too difficult a task however as you have quite a list of gadgets at your disposal. If you happen to trip an alarm, you either turn it off at the numerous alarm control stations or restart at the last check point.
It's almost effortless as trial and error quickly resolve any problem areas and with the linear type of gameplay the challenge is minimal. Controlling the camera isn't as straight forward however and getting semi-comfortable with it may take some time. Although it tries to follow you for the most part, it often gets a poor angle requiring you to adjust it.
Changing the angle isn't difficult, just cumbersome as it could be much smoother. You do get the hang of it but when the action picks up, getting it right sometimes is a bigger challenge then the goal you're trying to achieve. Other then the camera, the graphics give a respectable performance with decently detailed characters and environments. What's represented in the audio is acceptable but further effects for this type of action game would have gone a long way.
Effects such as more subtle footstep noise from soldiers as they approach for instance would have made it more fun to play. Mission Impossible: Operation Surma probably isn't going to satisfy those who are looking for an in-depth stealth game requiring strategy and calculating maneuvers.
If you're a die hard Mission Impossible fan looking for simple gameplay to enjoy the plot line, Mission Impossible: Operation Surma will satisfy. Otherwise you might want to rent it first.

Four ultra modern Sniper Guns. Best of all, there's a built-in personal organiser which you can use to send messages to other Mission Impossible owners, store addresses, or even operate your TV or any other remote control appliance via the infrared port.
What a top gadget to have in a secret agent game! In this video game adaptation of the famous television spy show now on T. Using digitized pictures of Peter Graves and other show stars, you must negotiate hazard-filled areas while collecting power-ups, enhancements, and clues that will help you solve the storyline. Beyond the cool premise, Mission: Impossible delivers decent graphics and game play that is slow and resembles the feel of Metal Gear.
Don't believe the hype. Mission: Impossible is not the revolutionary showcase for artificial intelligence that its original programmers intended, nor the combination of action and espionage that the revised brief promised. Despite that, there's still hope that it might provide some entertainment. Isn't there? Mission: Impossible follows, vaguely, the plot of the film of the same name. Impossible Mission Force agent Ethan Hunt a bit of rhyming slang for you there is set up by a mole in his own organisation, and has to prove his innocence and unmask the traitor through all manner of daring feats that involve rubber masks and crawling through conveniently oversized ventilation ducts.
The action moves from a submarine base in the former Soviet Union, to the fictional country of Sloborskaia, then in, under and over the headquarters of the CIA, before a final confrontation with the mole on a TGV racing out of Waterloo station. There's also a last mission back at the submarine base, but by then the real story's over, so who cares?
Considering that the game has been in development for the best part of three years, you'd have every right to expect something genuinely spectacular. Unfortunately, you'd be disappointed. The dreaded N64 blur, which has recently been less and less in evidence as programmers get to grips with the machine, is back with a vengeance. Walking around the levels is like entering a world made of Fuzzy Felt - there isn't a clearly-defined surface to be found. Textures are repetitive and dull, and there's more fog on the outdoor levels than on the Tyne.
All this would be tolerable if the gameplay behind it was up to scratch. But it isn't. The control method is a major problem right from the start. Although it's similar to Goldeneye, the generally low frame rate makes it a lot more clumsy, and it's also very limiting.
You can only sidestep when you're aiming a weapon, for example, which means a lot of infuriating stumbling back and forth in order to enter narrow spaces, and to stop you from doing anything that might affect the linear storyline, you can only perform certain actions at specific points. If you want to climb onto something that isn't vital to the story, you can't.
When you can perform an action, a flashing light on your on-screen communicator lets you know, but even this isn't as easy as it sounds. Ethan has to be positioned in exactly the right place to perform an action, and considering how awkward and inaccurate the controls are, this can get rather frustrating. The missions are, like Goldeneye, based around completing a series of objectives.
Simple enough. However, in order to complete these objectives, you have to perform all manner of tasks, many of which are so illogical they'd make Mr Spock's head explode. In the embassy, for example, at one point you have to give a musical score to a piano player, for reasons too ludicrous to go into. The score is on a chair, and a man is sitting on it. Before the man sat down, it wasn't there. After he sits down, but before you talk to the piano player, it's not there either.
So the man took the score from the piano, put it in his pocket, sat down, decided he was uncomfortable, took the score out and planted it under his backside? The hell!
This lack of thought is apparent throughout the game. The CIA Rooftop mission features a wire fence that forces Ethan to take a ridiculously long and dangerous route around the building - why couldn't he just climb it?
Isn't he supposed to be some kind of top secret agent? An electric floor, for God's sake! Why the hell would there be an electric floor on the roof of the CIA building? Because of the lack of logic, most levels end up as an infuriating trial-and-error trudge. You get so far, something you had no forewarning of happens, and the mission fails.
You try again, this time knowing about one problem, and something else happens that blows the mission. It's as much fun as being stuck in a hot lift with a group of BO sufferers. The worst example of this occurs when Ethan escapes from CIA interrogation.
The puzzles here are so wilfully obscure, the game over screen so frequent, that you'll probably end up wanting to insert the cartridge into the programmers. Things aren't helped by the arbitrary way the game ends. On some levels, Ethan can have a gun thrust in his face but he'll carry on fighting, even if he's just taken a bullet in the eye.
On other levels, though, all the opposition have to do is wave a weapon in Ethan's general direction and he'll fling up his arms in surrender faster than an Iraqi faced by a division of Challenger tanks. Now hold on a minute - if you're playing the part of a top spy, then it damn well should be up to you when you surrender!
The constraints of the mission prevent you from just going mental and mowing down the enemy in a giggling orgy of destruction, as you can in Goldeneye if you need to relieve some stress. As a result, most of the levels have minimal replay value - once completed, you're glad to see the back of them.
Only a couple of missions - most notably the business with the snipers at Waterloo station - are interesting enough to bring players back for more, and even they're fairly weak compared to what other N64 games have to offer.
Brian De Palma's movie may have possessed plot holes you could drive a TGV through, but it was done with enough zip and visual flair to let audiences overlook its dodgy script. Mission: Impossible, the game, doesn't have zip or visual flair, so its numerous shortcomings aren't even disguised from the player. Ocean were doubtless hoping for comparisons with Goldeneye and Tomb Raider , but the game Mission: Impossible most closely resembles is Shadows Of The Empire - a motley assortment of subgames, none of which are especially good.
The original game design's Al might have been too complex to work on a console nobody's even managed it yet on a PC with eight times as much memory to play with , but at least the programmers were ambitious enough to want to do something nobody had seen before. The revised, dumbed-down Mission: Impossible shows what happens when a project is dumped midway through and restarted almost from scratch to get something, anything, coded so the company can see a quick return on its considerable investment.
Goldeneye showed that film licences can work superbly, but Mission: Impossible is a step back to the bad old days when the name was more important than the game - a practice that Ocean was supposed to have left well behind. What's that noise? It's the sound of a deceased horse being soundly flogged, that's what.
Mortal Kombat has been around in its various guises for most of the millennium's closing decade, and it hasn't changed a bit. Sure, more characters have been added, the signature 'fatalities' have been spruced up and made ever more ludicrous with each new incarnation, and now the franchise has made its first steps into the third dimension Mortal Kombat is the latest, but almost certainly not last, addition to the series.
Once again, the evil forces of the Outworld are trying to take over the Earth, the fate of the planet being decided by a bout of fisticuffs in the traditional manner.
Familiar faces from the previous games make a comeback, some from beyond the grave, and a few new bugs pop up to make their play for a part in the next sequel. It's basically business as usual. Anyone who's played any of the previous Mortal Kombat games apart, that is, from the godawful MK Mythologies, which made even Mortal Kombat Trilogy look good will be able in and start playing MK4.
In fact, even if you've never set eyes on a Mortal Kombat game, you'll be able to get straight in anyway, as the gameplay is a model of simplicity. Two punch buttons, two kick buttons, a rarely-used block button and a practically irrelevant run button, and you're away. It's possible to have some fun just by slapping the buttons as quickly as possible to see which fighter goes down first in a haze of blood, but obviously things get more interesting if you learn how to perform the special attacks - acid spitting, spear throwing, teleportation and the like.
It's these special moves that show up just how little the MK series has advanced since its early days, because not only do they took the same, they're performed in the same way. You could argue that this lets fans get straight into each new game as it appears. Or, alternatively, you could argue that it saves the designers from having to do any time-consuming and expensive thinking up of new ideas. Even though the game is now in 3-D, with the addition of sidestep functions which, like the run button, hardly ever get used in play most of the moves could have come straight from the first MK game.
All that's changed is the amount of gore. To its credit, Mortal Kombat 4 has added a few minor new features. Each character has a special weapon which can be pulled from a portable hole or somewhere during a fight and used to bray the other fighter upside the head, and objects lying around the arenas can be picked up and hurled to painful effect. That's really about it, though. The Street Fighter titles, Mortal Kombat's long-term rival, have added things like chargeable power bars, reversals and combo breakers which add to the original gameplay without overwhelming it, but MK4's designers are happy just bending someone's knees the wrong way instead of advancing the game.
Despite its limitations, Mortal Kombat 4 is actually quite fun to play for a while. The brutal fatalities, now played entirely for laughs, are the kind of thing that appeal to the year-old boy in all of us, and the whole thing is just so ridiculous that not even the most uptight Mary Whitehouse type could possibly find it a moral outrage.
It's very fast, it's easy to play, and as a two-player game it can be enormously amusing. However, it's also as shallow as spilt coffee, and if you take out the comedy violence there's not really a lot left.
For now, MK4 is the best beat-'em-up on the N64, but only by default. Mission: Impossible is not GoldenEye. Get used to hearing that because it will be repeated with evangelistic vigor throughout this review. Instead, imagine a game like GoldenEye where you actually have to suffer the consequences of shooting people blindly in the back. Imagine a game like GoldenEye where you need to think about knocking people out instead of killing them, and have to outwit the CIA by using brains and not firearms.
This game is not GoldenEye. Imagine a game that's much different, more interactive, and ultimately a lot smarter than any other shooter out there. Mission: Impossible is that game. Although it has literally taken years to make, the arrival of Mission: Impossible should herald a new age in corridor shooters--one where you must truly pay for an itchy trigger finger with your life.
Ocean programmed Mission's A. One wrong, thoughtless act including brandishing a weapon in plain view of civilians creates a chain reaction that results in you failing your mission. And because the game requires you to disguise your character Ethan to hide his identity, you must also act within the boundaries of his assumed identities: For instance, when you become a maintenance worker late in the game, your entry into a restricted area causes a guard to sound an alarm.
But Mission offers more than just sneak-and-destroy missions. You have to impersonate Third World royalty, detonate some chewing-gum explosives, and fight to the death on a fast-moving train. Although the game doesn't mirror the movie exactly, there are enough elements that will make certain situations and characters recognizable.
So what's a great game doing hanging around such mediocre graphics? Lots of messy details, like pixelated areas and pop-up galore, don't help the game surpass the much cleaner-looking GoldenEye.
But this game isn't GoldenEye, and Mission makes up for its graphical short comings with smoother character movement and more detailed reactions to shots. The sound is also a mixed bag. It includes a thumping theme song and great mood music, but also an annoying amount of Ethan-isms that do nothing but congratulate the player who already knows he did well. Ml's control is also quirky at times, though solid for the most part.
Be warned--the ultra-sensitive, laser-intensive CIA computer room will frustrate more than a few players. Unfortunately, Mission's graphics are not its strong suit. Lots of pop-up and some funky camera angles are offset by great detail in the character movements and nice smoke and explosion effects. Don't expect Ethan to look exactly like Tom Cruise, either. There are some adverse reactions to character control, including touchy jumps like the electrified floors in the warehouse and the need for super-accurate shooting you don't get a range on the targeting--it must be dead on.
But the simple, icon-based menu and helpful indicator arrows make up for any inconsistencies. You really can't go wrong with the most well-known TV theme in the history of the medium. Add to that some great mood music during the action sequences and you've got a great sonic outing. The only detractions are the lame, repetitive sayings when you do something right.
There's more to Mission: Impossible than meets the Golden eye--it's a thinking-man's shooter that combines brains and bullets flawlessly, crossing genres with its almost RPG-like gameplay.
The variety of missions and different types of gameplay including shooting, sneaking, sniping, and sabotaging surpass other "shoot first" action games, giving Ml some lasting appeal.
Is it possible that Mission: Impossible will debut next month? This cart's been on the books for a while see "ProNews," February , but it appears ready to surface.
The action adventure game will be loosely based on the big-budget Tom Cruise movie. You'll be a member of a crack spy team, but can you all be trusted?
Mission: Impossible's delay from Christmas '96 to fall '97 might just pay off. Ml is a good-looking hybrid of strategy and action: You solve intricate puzzles, then blast your way past enemy agents and guards.
This third-person-perspective game loosely follows the movie's plot, taking you from a Russian embassy to CIA headquarters, and concluding with a train scene. Infiltration and espionage are the goals, requiring you at times to subdue a character so you can masquerade in their clothes with a mask of their face. Like the movie, the game's filled with gadgets such as a mouse cam for views into locked rooms and weapons including a mini rocket launcher and a pen that shoots blow darts.
One of the stronger N64 games for fall? Mission: Possible. Although we've run a number of screens for this eagerly awaited N64 title, none looked as polished or game-ready as the ones shown here. You'll be able to use some of the gadgetry that made the TV series a hit--like a facemaking device or tranquilizers hidden in fountain pens.
