Why would you want to play the game at all? I remember, I did have it for the N64 as a gift, and for some godforsaken reason I even finished it. Horrible game, though.
Heh, that's the reaction I'm getting from pretty much everyone I mention it to. I'll stick to Smash Bros and stuff.
I actually liked Mission: Impossible for the N64. It was pretty ambitious and original for its time. Some of its missions were also quite cool, especially the Embassy one. Of course, today stealth-based games are a dime a dozen thanks to Konami and Red Storm, but when MI came out, Rainbow Six and Metal Gear Solid were still a few months down the road. So Mission: Impossible stood out considerably from the rest of the crowd.
I think people's problems with the game stemmed more from the circumstances of its release than its actual quality. It was in development for three years, it was often compared to The Great Goldeneye since both games had similar plots and settings, and Metal Gear Solid was released that same year, stealing a lot of MI's thunder.
