This review contains spoilers

This game is not to be accepted. The Story is the same as the film, but with changes like the girl isn't a traitor, but in fact kidnapped at the in the 2nd level and doesn't die at the end, also the mission at the beginning of the film has been changed to a snow base mission and returns at the end of the game. The movie's story was better, but this story isn't bad either, except for the twist ending where the IMF knew Ethan wasn't the mole the whole time, and yet they still
said that he must be the mole since he couldn't have survived when they know that's exactly what happened and used that as an excuse. Also, how could Candice know that Ethan would be put in that cell so she could set his whole escape plan up, and the story here is really short, it's just, prologue, first mission, escape building, sniper, final mission, epilogue, that is too short for the game to be. The Characters don't show much personality, this game focuses a lot more on gameplay than character writing. The Graphics are good for the PlayStation 1, but the models are barely distinguishable and multiple characters look the same. The Controls are very stiff when turning or when using a trying to aim with a gun, it doesn't have a flow that helps it feel real. The Gameplay is really fun, the tasks you do involve infiltrating, stealing identities, getting past security systems and shooting enemies, you even get a lit wire as a health bar, that's a nice touch. But there are problems that hold it back, like how in the second level, you get past toxic crates not by Moving them, but by shooting them and grabbing a hazmat suit on the other side, or how even if the guards downstairs blow your cover, they don't report it to the guards above, why not alert as many people as you can find or that the tape says "Should you DECIDE to accept it" THAT NOT THE LINE. There are also moments later on that don't make sense, like how when you infiltrate the headquarters in Langley, the alarms in the room aren't affected when they touch the rope holding you up. The Voice acting is bad and, in some points, laughably bad (Phelps during the train level). The Music is very good and matches what's going on, especially the music based on the show. Sounds are also fun for each situation too. This Game fell apart from bad plot holes and bad gameplay moments, and that is a shame that I have to give this score to a game like this.
