As long as enemy spies, terrorists, international arms dealers and
undercover agents continue to ply their heinous trades, your Impossible
Mission Force remains our most invaluable ally in the pursuit of world
peace.
For successful execution of dangerous, death-defying missions, it is im-
perative that agents possess a lethal combination of courage and stealth:
missions such as penetrating a top security terrorist base or infiltrating
the KGB’s Prague headquarters.
Your mission, should you decide to accept it, is fo assume the identity of
Ethan Hunt, IMF's most capable agent and point man. You will assist him
with your considerable talents. In addition, you will also have the full range
of the agency's special weaponry and equipment at your disposal to help
you successfully carry out your assignments — no matter how impossible.
However, should you or any member of your IM Force be caught or
killed, the secretary will disavow any knowledge of yaur activities.

This screen
allows you to
select the
difficulty level. If
you've already
played missions
at a particular difficulty level, then
you'll be allowed to play any level
you've already successfully completed,
as well as the last level you attempted at
that same difficulty level.
Select POSSIBLE for an easy, beginner's
level of play. Ethan wears a bulletproof
vest and so is less vulnerable to enemy
fire; his mission objectives will also be
simpler.
Select IMPOSSIBLE if you think you can
meet the full challenge of being a real IM
Force agent. Enemies will be more
cunning and mission objectives more
complex. There are, however, special
rewards for the elite player. * Mission selection

—7\ Action ° Camera Modes
The game camera will always follow
Ethan during his moves inside the
mission environment and adjust in the
most appropriate way depending on
the position of objects, obstacles and
buildings around him. In some levels
the camera can be programmed to
follow Ethan in two different ways. By
pressing the L2 button, you can change
the camera in many of the levels.
> Flying Camera Mode: \n this mode,
the camera will follow Ethan from
above and allow you to have a clear
view of Ethan's direct surroundings.
> Rear Camera Mode: \n this mode, the
camera will follow Ethan from behind
It will always stay behind him, so you
can always see what lies in his path.
> Rotating Camera Mode: When using
the £7 and R71 buttons you can move the
camera around Ethan to explore the
environment. Handy for making big jumps
or looking around corners.
> First-Person View: Keep the R2 button
pressed to move the camera on to
Ethan's shoulder and give you a first-
person view of the situation. Ethan's
head will be displayed as semi-
transparent so as not to hide important
details of the surroundings. Releasing
the R2 duttonwill send the camera back
to a more remote position, depending on
which camera mode you have set
If Ethan has a weapon in his hand, a
targeting cross-hair will appear on the
screen. The deft stick or the directional
buttons will allow you to adjust the aim in
any direction--left, right, up or down--so
that Ethan can shoot anything threatening
him. To make Ethan do a right or left
sidestep, press the L7 or RT button.
You can also zoom in on your target by
pressing the L2 button. Releasing the
L2 button releases the Zoom. The
zooming distance depends on the
accurate shooting distance of the
weapon in Ethan's hand. The more
powerful your weapon is, the further it
will be possible to zoom. Watch out: a
powerful zoom will not compensate for
Poor weapon accuracy. « SPECIFIC GAME CONTROLS
In specific levels, you will command Ethan
or his IMF team members in special ways.

If you have failed in one or more of your
mission objectives, you might want to
quit the game right away. You will have
to restart at the beginning of this same
level on your next attempt ° Quicksave
If you feel that you are about to
encounter a dangerous situation or if
you have just mastered a tricky one you
might want to use this incredibly useful
function. Choosing Quicksave will store
the current game exactly as it is into the
memory of your PlayStation. Your
Quicksaved mission will be accessible
until you switch your PlayStation off,
enter a new mission or go back to the
main menu. Quicksaving a mission will
overwrite a previously quicksaved one.
© Quickload
If you fail a mission objective, or die in
action, or even if you just think you didn't
do so well, you can select “Quickload” and
restart the mission at where you last
Quicksaved it. Quickload will not work if you
haven't Quicksaved in this mission before.
° GAME OVER
Too many hits from enemy fire, deadly
traps, or the non-completion of your
mission objectives may cause a game to
be over. When this happens, you will
proceed to the debriefing screen where

mission from the beginning.
> Press the O button to quickload to
the last position quicksaved.
> Press the L\ button to go back to
the main menu. Remember that this
will destroy your quicksaved game.
Pay attention to all the details while you play;
the crucial element in the fulfilling of your
mission may not be obvious at first glance.
A special agent should keep his eyes open at
all times and always be on the lookout forthe
unexpected... even the impossible! > GAME DIFFICULTY
Each Save File contains two saved
games, one for the POSSIBLE (easy)
difficulty level and one for the
IMPOSSIBLE (hard) difficulty level. It is
therefore feasible on the same Save File
to have, for example, the whole game
finished at one difficulty level AND
the game incomplete at the other
difficulty level. It is not necessary to
have finished the game at the lower
difficulty level to start playing the
higher difficulty level. Starting a game
at a new difficulty level always brings
you to the first level of the first mission
The first time you play Mission
Impossible, we recommend that you try
the POSSIBLE game mode for easier
play, this will also let you get into the
game more quickly. Playing the
POSSIBLE mode means that you won't
be penalized for small mistakes in the
course of the mission. Ethan will wear @
bulletproof jacket to protect him from
enemy fire, mission objectives will be
simpler and the enemies will be less
smart than in the more challenging
IMPOSSIBLE mode
The IMPOSSIBLE game mode will
provide a greater challenge for the
experienced player. Ethan will be more
vulnerable to enemy fire and all kinds of
physical damage. The game will require
advanced tactics and clever thinking in
order to solve new unexpected
challenges, avoid enhanced traps, and
defeat more aggressive and resilient
enemies. No mistakes will be allowed in
this mode, and you'll get a real taste of
an Impossible Mission! > STRATEGY HINTS
Unlike many action or adventure games,
Mission: Impossible simulates the
dangers and difficulties of a covert
agent's life. Ethan Hunt, despite his
skill and abilities, is not a Superman
and cannot run through hordes of
enemies with blazing guns and get out
of it without a scratch! Enemies are
lethal, and in an unknown environment,
any mistake may prove fatal.
As you enter a new level, it's useful to
sneak around a bit and simply observe,
without shooting anyone... Don’t trigger
an alarm that will summon more
enemies to the location. Keep an eye out
for searchlights, radars, or cameras
that might detect you!
Enemies are often more easily put to
sleep or knocked out, rather than killed,
provided that you can make an
unobserved silent approach, that is.
When being chased by an enemy, make
use of all possible hiding places,
corners of buildings and obstacles in
order to ambush them and turn the
tables!
Don’t forget that whatever the situation,
Ethan Hunt is a government agent.
Shooting is not an action an IMF agent
should take lightly and under no
circumstances are he or any of his team
members allowed to cause harm to
civilians and innocent bystanders.

crowded situations > MISSION: IMPOSSIBLE CAST
