About this product

Product Information

"Good morning, Jim. This message comes at a particularly difficult time. General Reznick is threatening to attack the U.S. with his arsenal of nuclear weapons. To make matters worse, a UN weapons inspector has been kidnapped while on assignment. Now the General has a hostage! Due to the sensitive nature of this operation, those involved will have to be experts at stealth and espionage." <br><br>"The Impossible Mission Force (IMF) is the perfect team to handle this job; you have proven to be able to handle the assignments that no other organization has been able or even willing to undertake. Your mission, should you choose to accept it, is to rescue the inspector and destroy any weapon that may be aimed at the United States. Fail in your efforts and we will deny any knowledge of your actions."<br><br>Mission: Impossible for the Game Boy Color is an adaptation of a game that has appeared on the PC, PlayStation and Nintendo 64. Loosely based on the 1996 film of the same name, the game is played from a third-person perspective as you control IMF agent Ethan Hunt through 15 levels. Each level involves completing a series of objectives and is broken down into two areas: the Mission Location and the Interior Location.<br><br>The Mission Location finds players in an outdoor setting with trees, buildings and numerous guards patrolling the area. The object is to eventually find the specific entry point into the Interior Location, which is exactly as it sounds: playing from inside a structure as you attempt to successfully complete the objectives detailed at the beginning of the stage. Ethan is not without his share of resources, as anyone who has watched the movie and television series would be able to surmise.<br><br>An array of items and weapons is at your disposal, including keys, guns, cameras and even a grappling hook, depending on the nature of the mission. Players as Ethan can also jump, run, crawl, kick and use an item or weapon while advancing through the levels making up the game. An important aspect of the game involves stealth; by sneaking around the stages rather than using weapons, the player will be able to earn what are referred to as Stealth Bonus Points.<br><br>Conversely, if players take too much time on a level or alert enemies of their presence, they can lose Stealth Points. This is not a good thing, as these points allow players to earn extra lives (each life is worth 100 Stealth Bonus Points), which in turn translates into more opportunities to complete the mission. If Ethan should die, players will have to continue at the beginning of the level rather than from the point where they lost a life.<br><br>In addition to the one-player game, Mission: Impossible for the Game Boy Color offers a number of features designed to bring out the spy in you. Players can type and save a number of Secret Files using their Game Boy Color as a personal organizer, then transmit them to another user via the infrared port at the top of the handheld (the recipient must also have the game in order to receive this data, however). Besides addresses, names and phone numbers, players can write notes or messages and even use their Game Boy Color as a calculator!<br><br>If that weren't enough, aspiring agents can program their system to double as a remote control. This is accomplished through pointing existing wireless remotes at the infrared port; the system can then save this information to one of four slots. Who says the Game Boy Color is only good for games? Wrapping up the list of features is the ability to resume progress via battery backup and the option to play in one of three languages: English, Spanish and French.
