The X files - le jeu

FMV (Full Motion Video) games, in which include FMV during most of the game, aren't very popular among the Playstation, they were very popular in the Sega CD and 3DO days. When "The X-Files" was released for the Playstation, it gave gamers a view of the magic of FMV-based games, which hasn't been seen since the, now rare, Psychic Detective Playstation game, which was a remake of the 3DO version.

Fans of the X-Files will find this game to be a great opportunity to be a part of "The X-Files", and almost anyone will find the storyline, gameplay, controls, sound, and picture to be quite satisfactory.

David Duchovny and Gillian Anderson are also in the game, so it will give fans of the X-Files a chance to see the two in an episode that cannot be viewed on cable TV.

My Rating (Based on comparison to other videogames) ****/*****

I've never really been a fan of computer games but being a long time X Phile I thought I would give it a go and I was amazed. This game is excellently made and unbelievably addictive. Featuring appearance by David and Gillian and a wonderful performance by Jordan Lee Williams as Agent Craig Willmore, the agent investigating the disappearance of Agents Mulder and Scully. Once you start playing you wont stop until you solve it.

I recently completed the X-Files game and I thought it was amazing. The story line was gripping once it got going and it really was just like an episode of the X-Files. The concept was well developed and there was plenty to do. The puzzles were challenging and good fun trying to work out. The guest appearances were cool. However I personally completed the game without ever finding The Smoking Man, I know he is meant to be in it as he is on the cast list and screen shots. If anyone knows where he is in the game please email me or if you need any help I'll be happy to help. Some people might find the controls annoying, but the hot keys help to find things. Certainly A+++ game for all.

This is a absolutly unique and excellent game and graphics and game play are great too! The movie graphics all the way through the game is a great idea! Finally a challenging game with NO CHEATS available to help us... cheers Chris Carter!

What more could you want? Your very own x-file. It's great to look around and actually interact with the cast of the show. You aren't that limited to what you can do in this game which makes it fun and frustrated. You can get lost easily, but there is an option to make the game easy. A must play for anyone who likes detecting.
