Despite
the introduction of the Game Cube, Playstation and X-Box, there's

versions of this polytone, preview them on Mixxer and RingToneJukeBox.

there are as many ringtone versions of this popular tune as there are
Mission Impossible movies, by far the best one is by Dream Theater
found on Mixxer. A close to normal rrrrring leads into a tune with
deep-base rhythm and trumpet-like melody that will bring the secret
agent out in you.
