Mission - Impossible - Operation Surma (GameCube) price, value & rarity
Is Mission - Impossible - Operation Surma still worth playing in 2026?
A lukewarm take on a hot license, this stealth game no longer holds up against the genre's standards. The gadgets and disguise masks promised clever espionage, but the execution stays stiff, the AI predictable and the staging bland despite Ethan Hunt's voice. Already seen as average back then, the experience has aged poorly next to stealth heavyweights. Hard to recommend today, save for fans curious about the movie franchise.
