The X files - le jeu

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.

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.

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.

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) ****/*****

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.
