Mission: Impossible for NES made from the famous TV series with the same title. The game released in the end of 1990. The most known feature of the game is its difficulty. You can control one of the three main characters (Max, Grant, Nicholas). They have different abilities, in both weapons and speed. The game has 6 levels. The game is not simple, you have to do different tasks to complete the mission, for example in mission one, you have to find switches, but it's not simple as it looks.

The graphics are good for a NES game. The game is in top-down view. The buildings are nice, and the maps are large. The characters grapics are good too. Most of the animations are relativly fluid (except the robot cameras they contain 2 frames). Overally Konami did nice work in graphics.

The sounds: nothing special in sounds, but they're good for the game's environment.

The music is a good point of the game. The game has a good soundtrack. And not monotone, I mean In different areas there are different BGMs.

Well, the gameplay. One word: hard! The game is very difficult. some of the enemies can reduce your characters health by 6 from the max 12. so you can die easily. It doesn't mean the game is impossible, just difficult. You can control your character in 8 directions. The each characters have a weapon and a special ability. Max can plant bombs, Grant can use sleepgas, Nicholas can disguise. Not only the enemies are the source of danger, there are a lot of traps in each levels. 2 of the levels are special, there is a boat chase, and a skiing level.

The controls are simple, there is no problem with it.
