[edit] Gameplay

The player controls Ethan Hunt in most of the missions. The player can can choose from a wide variety of weapons and gadgets, including pistols and automatic weapons. On select missions they are given the explosive gum and the Facemaker from the movie. They are also given explosives to set on targets. Other equipment Ethan is provided with includes smoke generators, infra-red contacts, gas injectors, fingerprint scanners, and computer disks.

Most of the missions require the player to stealthily infiltrate or sneak out of areas, such as CIA Headquarters in Langley. They can infiltrate some facilities only using the Facemaker, which disguises themselves as one of the enemy. Sometimes the player is required to do this multiple times.

[edit] Missions

The levels roughly follow the storyline of the movie, though there is a subplot based in Russia that is entirely original. There are six missions comprised of 20 levels.
