    It faithfully captures the license and delivers a solid action/stealth game that will have many gamers confessing they "had no idea the game was that good". It IS that good.

    On the control side, Hunt mostly handles just fine. It feels a little funky when you try to rotate the direction he’s facing (to deposit a body in the shadows, for instance), and the item switching is a little clumsy, but neither issue is serious.
  3. The gameplay and puzzles are spoon-fed to you in easily swallowed bites, but much like Chinese food, when it’s over you will be full but not terribly satisfied.
  4. Simply put: Operation Surma is a half-assed "Splinter Cell."
  5. However, if you are a fan of the Mission: Impossible movies and of stealth games such as "Splinter Cell" and in general, then you will want to check this out if for nothing more than seeing what the IMF team is up to nowadays.
  6. What the game has visually and in it's sound didn't make up for a lack of great gameplay.

    Diluted, 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]

    This was a pleasant surprise for me. While the game is a shameless rip off of splinter cell, the mission impossible theme fits perfectly.

    Mission Impossible: Operation Surma isn´t a good or bad game. While it has some pretty satisfying moments, you always get the feeling ofMission Impossible: Operation Surma isn´t a good or bad game. While it has some pretty satisfying moments, you always get the feeling of playing a cheap Splinter Cell rip-off. Graphics, story and controls are ok but nothing special. The main problem of this game is the too easy and repetitive gameplay. As a fan of the agent movies, it´s worth a look, otherwise you get a pretty mediocre experience. Expand

Faut plutôt regarder le bon film de Brian. Un jeu tellement intouchable qu'on ne voudrait pas se salir avec ça. Même la console a l'air mal à l'aise quand on lui insère ça dans le lecteur : elle fait de drôles de bruit pour marquer sa profonde désapprobation. Et c'est vrai que ce navet périmenaze pue vraiment de la gueule. Expand
