It's a pretty safe bet by now that the stealth genre is here to stay, and adding even more fuel to the hide-and-seek fire is Mission: Impossible: Operation Surma, a new stealth action game from Atari and developer Paradigm. As you'd expect, the game isn't based on the old television series Mission: Impossible but rather on the more recent, successful action movie franchise starring Tom Cruise. You won't see Cruise's likeness representing main character Ethan Hunt here, but you will see an entirely new storyline created specifically for the game. Operation Surma takes no big chances with the genre's rules--it's strictly stealth-by-numbers that's highly reminiscent of last year's Splinter Cell--but it's a well-made and entertaining game all the same.

"Mission: Impossible" is a speeding luxury train that doesn't bother to stop when it reaches the station. Director Brian De Palma is having too much fun zipping around curves and hitting the accelerator to slow down. He's a supremely confident engineer, and if you're game enough to make a jump for it and hold on, he offers the giddy excitement of watching the ground rush by beneath your dangling feet. And De Palma has supplied a sneaky, subversive subtext -- equating the efforts of secret agent hero Ethan Hunt (Tom Cruise) to clear himself with the intelligence community with his own attempts to make himself a player again in the back-stabbing business of making movies.
