The Low Down On Mission Impossible, 18 Feb 2004
Before 'Mission: Impossible' even came out on PS2 i was looking forward to it and i was thinking of buying it. Then, when it finally appeared on the shelves i read a review about it in some games magazine which said that it wasn't very good and not really worth buying. This sort of put me off, but not completely. Instead of buying it, i rented it and i found that it was in fact not a bad game, certainly not as bad as the magazine review had said it was. I won't even try to explain the storyline to it, because it is so complex and has so much depth, that i wouln't know where to begin. It's one of thoses games that starts off with what seems like a pretty bassic storyline, but before you know it, it's huge. Like a snowball at the top of a hill. It starts off small at the top, but by the time it reaches the bottom it's picked up so much snow that it is ten times the size. I personally find this the best type of game because you nver know whats going to happen next, or where your next mission will take you. The graphics on games just keep getting better and better, and these garphics are supurb. This not only makes the game look really good, but makes it much more realistic and enjoyable to play as you actually feel like you are inside the game, doing the missions yourself. The mark of a good game. The firearms are a bit of let down on this game. I can't remember exactly how many there are, but the makers definately could have made a better effort on that. The weopons include: a pistol, a machine gun, a tranquilser dart gun, and few others, none of them anything special. There arn't even any amazing gadgets to make up for it like on the bond games. 'Mission: Impossible' is meant to be played as a stealth game, as you would expect when you play a spy. However i'm not really a stealth person and so i find it much more fun to charge in and beat up the baddies, with some swift kicks and punches. Obviously you can't do this all the way through the game, but every now and then, it's quite fun. However if you do this too much, you run the risk of seriously shortening the game, so make sure there is a nice mixture. Overall, 'Mission: Impossible' is not a bad game, with the supurb graphics, and lengthy gameplay, any gamer should find this quite a fun game and worth buying. It took me about two days to complete which is quite long really for saying they were weekend days, however it could seem quite short for a hard-core gamer. Still worth buying though. Have fun!
