With console games no longer part of the franchise, a new Facebook game {page no longer active} based on Mission: Impossible franchise has launched allowing fans to play as their own agent and win real-world prizes. Paramount Digital Entertainment and online game maker Funtactix have partnered to deliver a new social game that spans the entire film Paramount Pictures franchise, including the new Mission: Impossible Ghost Protocol film. Rather than placing gamers in the role of Ethan Hunt as past game incarnations have done, the new game lets players assume the roles Impossible Mission Force (IMF) agents and assemble unique teams to embark on multiplayer action. The game launches with eight missions that span 200 levels and 50 locales around the globe. Players will have access to the latest IMF gadgets and equipment straight from the movies. In the coming weeks, a new level based on Ghost Protocol will be introduced.
Rewards have been integrated into the game allowing the Facebook community to interact and build on the excitement for Mission: Impossible – Ghost Protocol in an organic way. Players will be able to win tickets to the U.S. premiere of the film as well as a hometown screening of the movie for 30 friends. Other prizes that will be awarded through the game include movie passes to the film, signed movie posters, hats, t-shirts and Mission: Impossible Blu-ray and DVD sets from Paramount Home Entertainment.
