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'm not really into the whole video game scene. But since I have a playstation, had some toys r us card money to spend, and love The X Files I figured what the heck? And i'm so glad I bought it. Even thought you don't get to see as much GA and DD as I would like to, the game is fun and entertaining. I still haven't beat it...I got to the last level though! I love the fact that I can act how I would normally act and see if I would cut it as an FBI agent. The whole live-action thing is really cool too. Two thumbs up...fine family fun!

This game is very good. X-Files fans will love it. I think that this is a game you can play over and over again. If you need help on the game I am the man to ask. I have beaten the game at least four times so I know A LOT about the game and how to beat it.

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!

Ok, so I've heard this game is only popular among extreme X-Philes. Well, I call myself an X-phile, but I definitely don't take it to the extreme. And I liked it.

The plotline is good - admittedly, some details don't really need to be there. But they do add to the characters. Best part is that while the storyline of the game fits in with the series, it can is just a complimentary material, the same as the movie. Graphics are fine, since most of this is live-acting anyway. However, there are times when you wish certain screens had been made a little lighter, to actually make it possible to find the evidence you need, without triple-checking the scene. But that's ok. I got used to it.

My game did a few glitches - but I can't be sure that they are in the game itself, or due to the fact my copy was a previously played game and could therefore been slightly damaged.

In my personal opinion, this isn't the greatest game there is, but it is one worth playing.
