    A hateful creation, demanding more attention than a sugar-buzzed toddler and never showing you what you need to see, including anyone who might be shooting holes in your stomach.

    Although not as bad as "Tomb Raider," MI is marred by an appallingly complex control system that (if you're anything like me) you'll never get used to. [Feb 2004, p.103]

    Dilute, disjointed and uninspiring. Feeling more like a staggered set of obstacles than a wholesome game, the action sadly boils down to little more than a tediously dull showcase for your equipment and abilities, which are put into use against some questionable AI stooges. [Jan 2004, p.118]

There are plenty of spyThis Splinter Cell-type game is a sequel to Mission: Impossible II. It's nowhere as good as Sam Fisher's adventures. There are plenty of spy gadgets and stealth tactics that you'll use. However, gameplay is often feels more like work than fun. The voice actor playing Ethan Hunt kind of sucks. But it's nice to see Ving Rhames reprise his role of Luther Stickell. Fans of the movies should enjoy it. I would rate Operation Surma with a 7.3 out of 10.… Full Review »

The rest of the stealth stuff and the gadgets are excellent.… Full Review »
