      @imfsresidentotaku9699 2 ปีที่แล้ว +5

      @@tarantinoish Actually, this game was released almost two months before Metal Gear Solid and was based on a movie that was released two years prior, which itself was based on a TV show that initially aired 30 years earlier. In fact, the levels in this game play out like a stealth mission from the shows and movies, with the agents knocking people out, taking their identities, sabotaging equipment, faking documents, framing other people, and overall tricking the bad guys into doing what they want, so to say that Mission: Impossible isn't groundbreaking is a stretch. It makes me feel like I'm stepping into the shoes of an IMF agent. As Martin Landau, who played Rollin Hand on the TV show, stated in an interview, "Mission was a mind game. The ideal mission was getting in and getting out without anyone ever knowing we were there."

      Tom Cruise never licences out his likeness. That's why there are never any action figures based on his movie characters. Also why he never appears in video games based on his movies. I learned this from The Mummy Demastered videogame. Russell Crowe's character appears in the game, but not Tom Cruise.

      ForeverLaxx Indeed. Conker's BFD is a fantastic game in every aspect, and probably the most technically impressive game in the system. AVGN isn't always about bad games (like Earthbound) so it'd be a great idea, especially with the humour.
