I'm not a big gamer in the Quake/Half Life "Gotta-have-it-as-soon-as-it-comes-out" sense, but I bought this game on sale when it first came out. Encompased over 6 CD's, the game opens in standard X/F fashion, with Mulder and Scully in a "teaser" before the opening credits. A mixture of live action sequences/intros (with the actors from the show) and photos of scenes puts you in a first person situation. On the good side, every character is an actor and things don't "look" real - they were filmed. On the bad side, movement can be abrupt and jumpy. The object of the game itself is to figure out what happened to M & S, with yourself as a Seattle FBI agent. In the later stages of the game, Mulder and Scully themsleves become characters, and you interact with them. The plot of the game, which was done by the show's creator, fits into the show's mythology nicely. All in all, it's not for serious gamers, but worth playing for fans of the TV show.

I think that this game is amazing.It really takes you into the whole feel of the X-FILES and the mythology of it as well.I've been a fan of the show for quite some time and when I saw that the movie was included with the game that was the cherry on my sundae.All in all this game isn't for people who don't want to do a lot of thinking and intuition,rather for those who enjoy a challenge.

Good idea but it took too long for the game to read from the CD and so action sequences were painful.
