Play Mission: Impossible - Operation Surma Online

Summary

Mission: Impossible – Operation Surma drops you into the world of Ethan Hunt as a stealth‑focused action‑adventure that spans the Game Boy Advance, Xbox, PlayStation 2, and GameCube. Set between the second and third films, the game sidesteps Tom Cruise’s likeness, opting for veteran voice talent Steve Blum to carry Ethan’s lines while Ving Rhames and John Polson return as Luther Stickell and Billy Baird.

The gameplay rewards creativity: you can infiltrate locations ranging from Rome’s historic streets to the stark landscapes of Eastern Europe and the Middle East, choosing between high‑tech gadgets, multipurpose weapons, disguises, or pure hand‑to‑hand stealth. Each mission presents a balance of risk, time, and resources, encouraging multiple strategies to outwit the nefarious Surma Corporation.

Critically, the title earned mixed or average scores on most consoles, but the handheld version struggled the most, gathering generally unfavorable reviews on Metacritic.

Storyline

Mission: Impossible – Operation Surma opens with IMF operative Ethan Hunt scuba‑diving a Black Sea shipwreck. A brief attachment to his goggles delivers his next briefing: escort former Yugarian advisor Mikail Marcou and retrieve a mini‑disk containing vital data on dictator Simon Algo. Ethan’s team includes Luther Stickell, Billy Baird, former FBI agent Jasmine Curry, and master‑of‑disguise George Spelvin.

At the Yugarian Ministry of Information, Marcou is killed by Secret Service chief Vasyl Berkut, and Ethan seizes the disk before Berkut escapes. The trail leads to Los Muertos Laboratories, where Ethan and Spelvin infiltrate as a guard and a scientist. Inside, they discover a plot to weaponize three strains of neurodioxin; Ethan hacks the core, disarms bombs, and kills contractor Jong Ho Li while Sofia Ivanescu sabotages a helicopter and flees.

Back in Yugaria, Ethan learns about ICEWORM, a universal computer virus, and hears that Sofia’s father Nicholas Ivanescu is still alive. He protects Sofia from Berkut’s men, and the group heads to the offshore Sansara prison to destroy the remaining neurodioxin. Curry and Spelvin enter the "Rat Trap" with Berkut, while Ethan impersonates Berkut, disables the toxin, and witnesses Algo murder Spelvin, wound Curry, and capture Sofia.

Ethan skydives onto Algo’s airborne headquarters, where Algo kills Berkut with an experimental rocket launcher. After planting explosives on the plane’s wings, Ethan rescues Sofia from a fatal fall, and the duo lands on the SURMA Building. On the roof, Algo activates an invisibility device, but Ethan disrupts it and eliminates the terrorist.

The story closes weeks later on a private cruise off Aruba. Sofia declares she is done with technology, shares a kiss with Ethan, and the two embark on a new scuba‑diving adventure together.
