==Plot==
==Plot==
IMF operative [[Ethan Hunt]] is on a scuba diving mission to explore a shipwreck off the coast of the Black Sea. Once he finishes observing, he encounters two other IMF agents, one of whom shoots a harpoon at the ship to give Ethan his next mission. As explained, Ethan will have to escort Mikail Marcou, a former advisor of Yugaria's current dictator, Simon Algo, and acquire a mini disk from Algo which contains vital information on Algo's operations.
IMF operative Ethan Hunt is scuba diving a shipwreck in the Black Sea. Two other scuba diving IMF agents give him an attachment to his goggles to show him his next mission briefing. Ethan will have to escort Mikail Marcou, a former advisor of Yugaria's dictator Simon Algo, and acquire a mini disk that contains vital information on Algo's operations. His team consists of Luther and Billy from Mission: Impossible 2, and new agents Jasmine Curry, a former FBI agent, and master of disguise George Spelvin.


Ethan arrives at the Yugarian Ministry of Information, and despite a few missteps from a new member of the IMF team, Jasmine Curry, the mission runs smoothly and Ethan makes contact with Marcou. Marcou, however, tells him when he is safely in England, the disk will belong to IMF. The plan goes south, as Marcou is shot and killed by Vasyl Berkut, the head of the Yugarian Secret Service. Ethan takes possession of the disk and pursues Berkut. Berkut escapes, then [[Luther Stickell]] and Billy Baird extract Ethan at the last minute to evade capture.
Ethan arrives at the Yugarian Ministry of Information and makes contact with Marcou. Before Ethan can extract him, Marcou is killed by Vasyl Berkut, the head of the Yugarian Secret Service. Ethan takes possession of the disk and pursues Berkut, but he escapes.


Making his way to Los Muertos Laboratories, Ethan disguises himself as a security guard to gain access to the lower levels of the facility, though it was short lived. He enters the computer core and is forced to hide when Jong Ho Li, a contractor and ally to Algo, and Sofia Ivanescu, a software engineer, come to download software onto the core. Once they leave, Ethan hacks the core and Luther reveals Los Muertos' plan to use three strains of neurodioxin. He requests Ethan and new IMF agent George Spelvin (disguising himself as a scientist) abort the mission, but Ethan refuses and destroys the biological weapons. But this sets off an alarm, causing Jong Ho to accuse Sofia of being a spy. He places bombs throughout the facility to cover his tracks, but Ethan disarms them. Outside, Sofia sabotages a helicopter, leaving Jong Ho and his men to Ethan's disposal. In a shootout, Ethan kills Jong Ho and follows Sofia to Yugaria.

Ethan hacks the core, and Luther reveals Los Muertos' plan to use three strains of neurodioxin. Luther calls an abort, but Ethan stays to destroy the neurodioxin. When Jong Ho discovers this, he accuses Sofia of being a spy. He places bombs throughout the facility to cover his tracks, but Ethan disarms them. Outside, Sofia sabotages a helicopter, and leaves Jong Ho behind. Ethan kills Jong Ho and follows Sofia to Yugaria.


Sneaking back in Yugaria's Ministry of Information, Ethan learns of ICEWORM, a deadly computer virus capable of breaking through any type of security system. Unable to access ICEWORM's codes, Berkut orders his men to apprehend Sofia to obtain the codes, inadvertently revealing to an overhearing Ethan that Sofia's father, Nicholas Ivanescu (long thought dead) is still alive, but in league with Algo. Using the electronic wasp and a sniper pistol, Ethan protects Sofia from Berkut's men, but as he tries to explain himself to her, she mistakes him for being Berkut's loyal and runs off. Almost falling to her death, and Ethan saves her. Ethan vows to protect Sofia and she accepts.
Sneaking back into Yugaria's Ministry of Information, Ethan learns of ICEWORM, a computer virus capable of breaking through any type of security system. Unable to get ICEWORM's codes through the computer, Berkut orders his men to apprehend Sofia to obtain the codes. Ethan overhears that Sofia's deceased father, Nicholas Ivanescu is actually still alive. Ethan protects Sofia from Berkut's men, and they leave together.


Ethan, Sofia, Jasmine, and Spelvin travel to Sansara (a notorious prison off the North African coast) to destroy the remains of the biological weapons that were transported from Los Muertos. Jasmine and Spelvin meet with Berkut and enter the "Rat Trap", with Ethan following the three. Meanwhile, Sofia talks with Algo about the use of ICEWORM, with Sofia revealing that using the virus is a means to avenge her father's apparent death at the hands of Yugaria's previous corrupt government. Ethan finds Algo's chief bioscientist in solitary confinement, who is revealed to be Nicholas. He agrees to help Ethan destroy the neurodioxin, and the latter takes Sofia to the data center so she can help him advance to the lab. Knocking out Berkut with the wasp, Ethan impersonates him and disables the neurodioxin. Meeting with Nicholas, Ethan witnesses Algo kill Spelvin, injure Jasmine, and take Sofia hostage through his microcamera. He plants explosives in the lab, and tells Nicholas to escape. Ethan covers Jasmine as she makes her escape. Unable to find Sofia nor Algo, Ethan escapes thanks to Billy coming back for Ethan.

Learning that Algo is using a plane as a mobile headquarters, Ethan skydives and activates a jetpack to get onto the plane. On board, Algo betrays and kills Berkut by using an experimental rocket launcher. Ethan plants explosives on each wing of the plane. Ethan finds Sofia in the cabin, but Algo surprises him. As he prepares to kill her, Sofia kicks him out of the plane, but not before he grabs her and she falls. Ethan pursues the two, grabbing a parachute from one of Algo's men. He rescues Sofia, and sees Algo landed in the SURMA Building, a company he runs as a front for his terrorist activities.

Mission: Impossible – Operation Surma is an action-adventure stealth video game developed by Paradigm Entertainment and published by Atari for Game Boy Advance, Xbox, PlayStation 2 and GameCube. The game takes place between Mission: Impossible 2 and Mission: Impossible III.

Plot[edit]

IMF operative Ethan Hunt is scuba diving a shipwreck in the Black Sea. Two other scuba diving IMF agents give him an attachment to his goggles to show him his next mission briefing. Ethan will have to escort Mikail Marcou, a former advisor of Yugaria's dictator Simon Algo, and acquire a mini disk that contains vital information on Algo's operations. His team consists of Luther and Billy from Mission: Impossible 2, and new agents Jasmine Curry, a former FBI agent, and master of disguise George Spelvin.

Ethan arrives at the Yugarian Ministry of Information and makes contact with Marcou. Before Ethan can extract him, Marcou is killed by Vasyl Berkut, the head of the Yugarian Secret Service. Ethan takes possession of the disk and pursues Berkut, but he escapes.

At Los Muertos Laboratories, Ethan disguises himself as a security guard, and Agent Spelvin disguises himself as a scientist. Ethan sees Jong Ho Li, a contractor and ally to Algo, and Sofia Ivanescu, a software engineer, come to download info onto the computer core. Ethan hacks the core, and Luther reveals Los Muertos' plan to use three strains of neurodioxin. Luther calls an abort, but Ethan stays to destroy the neurodioxin. When Jong Ho discovers this, he accuses Sofia of being a spy. He places bombs throughout the facility to cover his tracks, but Ethan disarms them. Outside, Sofia sabotages a helicopter, and leaves Jong Ho behind. Ethan kills Jong Ho and follows Sofia to Yugaria.

Sneaking back into Yugaria's Ministry of Information, Ethan learns of ICEWORM, a computer virus capable of breaking through any type of security system. Unable to get ICEWORM's codes through the computer, Berkut orders his men to apprehend Sofia to obtain the codes. Ethan overhears that Sofia's deceased father, Nicholas Ivanescu is actually still alive. Ethan protects Sofia from Berkut's men, and they leave together.

Ethan, Sofia, Agent Curry, and Agent Spelvin travel to the Sansara prison, off the coast of North Africa, to destroy the remains of the neurodioxin. Curry and Spelvin meet with Berkut and enter the "Rat Trap". Meanwhile, Sofia tells Algo she developed ICEWORM as revenge for her father's apparent death at the hands of Yugaria's previous corrupt government. Ethan finds Sophia's father Nicholas alive in the prison, and he agrees to help Ethan destroy the neurodioxin. Ethan impersonates Berkut and disables the neurodioxin. Ethan witnesses Algo kill Agent Spelvin, injure Agent Curry, and take Sofia hostage. Ethan plants explosives in the lab, and escapes with Nicholas and Agent Curry.

Learning that Algo is using a plane as his headquarters, Ethan skydives and activates a jetpack to make his way to the plane. On board, Algo betrays and kills Berkut by using an experimental rocket launcher. Moments later, Ethan boards the plane and plants explosives on each wing of the plane. As Berkut prepares to kill Sophia, she kicks him out of the plane, but he grabs her, and they fall out together. Ethan pursues the two, grabbing a parachute from one of Algo's men in the process. He rescues Sofia, and all three land on the SURMA Building, a company Algo runs as a front for his terrorist activities. On the roof, Algo uses an experimental invisibility device, but Ethan disrupts the technology and kills him.

Weeks after the incident, Ethan and Sofia are on a private cruise off the coast of Aruba. As Sofia says her dealings with technology are over, she and Ethan kiss, and the two go on a scuba diving adventure.

Voice cast[edit]

Tom Cruise, who plays Ethan Hunt in the Mission: Impossible films, does not lend his likeness or voice to the character in the game. Veteran voice actor Steve Blum replaces him. Ving Rhames and John Polson reprise their roles of Luther Stickell and Billy Baird from Mission: Impossible 2 respectively.

Reception[edit]

The game received "mixed or average reviews" on all platforms except the Game Boy Advance version, which received "generally unfavorable reviews", according to video game review aggregator Metacritic.[24][25][26][27] In Japan, Famitsu gave the GameCube and PlayStation 2 versions a score of all four sevens for a total of 28 out of 40.[3]
