Okay, so Mission Impossible: Operation Surma on the GBA is basically you sneaking around as Ethan Hunt, doing all that spy stuff from the movies—except now it fits in your pocket. The first mission throws you right into it: crawling through vents, knocking out guards, and trying not to set off alarms (which, honestly, I failed at least twice).

It’s got that classic GBA stealth-action vibe—think Metal Gear but with more face masks and fewer cardboard boxes. The gadgets are fun, like this little camera that lets you scope out rooms before barging in, but the controls take a sec to get used to. And yeah, the guards sometimes spot you from weird angles, so save often.

If you’re into sneaky, methodical games where one wrong move means restarting, this one’s a solid pick. Just don’t expect it to play like the newer stuff—it’s very much a product of its time. Still, pulling off a clean mission feels pretty satisfying.
