Excellent game with excellent graphics. It is all filmed material, so it feels like you are actually out investigating with mulder & scully. Although, these excellent graphics didn't leave much room for developing a challenging game. I bought it on a Friday and by Sunday I was on disk four, which is why I only gave it 4 stars instead of 5. It would have been a bit better if you actually got to play as either Mulder or Scully too.

I absolutely LOVED this game, quite possibly the best I've ever played. The graphics were awesome, and I loved that you actually participated in it. I suggest that any gamer or X-Files fan play this game, because not only is it intellegently designed, but it is incredibly fun. Have fan gaming!

I like this game a lot. While it was slow moving, I felt the pace was a plot device to throw you off guard when things got dangerous. In that way it worked well. I had no problem with Mulder and Scully's small role because I think the purpose is to let the player decide what kind of agent they personally want to be rather than imitate known personalities. It put more pressure and responsibility on you. We know the stars of the show won't get killed, but you just might that's part of the fun! Another juicy element to this game is the fact that you have to make chioces on questions and actions; it's fun to misbehave! Just put the handcuffs on Skinner and see what happens! Ask the same questions over and over again and see how the characters get annoyed! Agent Craig Willmore can be such a jerk if you know what choices to make. You can play the game as a mystery or a comedy!

I wasn't expecting much of this game after reading some reviews, but I was pleasantly surprised when I played it. You play the game as agent Willmore, and your assignment is to help find Mulder & Scully who dissapeared without a trace after checking into a hotel in Everett, WA. You must interact with different characters in the game and find clues from several different locations. With the artificial intelligence on the game isn't terribly difficult, but still challenging. Thank [goodness] for the save feature or else I would never finish, there are some tricky situations, without a walkthrough I might not have been able to figure out. There are cameos by central X-files figures including CSM, Skinner, the lone Gunmen, etc. I would play it again simply to focus on some of the details again, there is a lot to take in.

The X-Files Game is a great adventure/mystery game. I could'nt stop playing once I started. Great story, cool missions. ONE PROBLEM I beat it in one day! And it has NO REPLAY VALUE! Once you beat it once then thats it! It's no fun to play again because you know whats going to happen. I suggest you rent it instead of buying it, because it only takes about 8hrs to beat. But still, it's deffinately worth checking out!

The X-Files game for Sony Playstation is the most realistic and immensely creative game I have ever played. Everything about this game is very real. It seems as though you are actually in the television show (which is terrific for real X-Philes!). I give it the most stars it can recieve, which in this case is 5 *'s!

I'm a big strategy game fan, and I think that this game is really worth a second look, even if you're not an X-Phile. (Which I am) Good game, good plot, good characters, all around five star entertainment. Don't let little kids play it though. You handle a semi-automatic pistol, and somwhow that doesn't seem like a good thing to impress on childrens' minds now adays.

If you're a true X-Files fan then you will probably enjoy this game, die-hard adventure and RPG gamers need not bother with it as they will find it too linear and simple. I got about half-way through the game (which is on 4 CD's) before I ran into a section that had me stumped (I'm an X-Files fan but not too good at adventure-type games!) I managed to track down a walk-through for the game which helped me out, and it also mentioned lots of silly things you can do in the game that result in interesing outcomes.

Once you've completed the game you probably won't play again, unless you're looking for easter eggs.

The X-Files game has the best fmv's of any game I've ever played. It's an involving game that takes a lot of time to complete. It gets confusing at times-you get lost as to what to do next and end up walking in circles for a while. But, for fans of the show, interest should hold out long enough. I do think they needed to have an option added to the game-choice of characters(ex:Willmore, Mulder, Scully, Asta). Overall the game was pretty good, but has no real replay value.

This is most certainly a game for X-Files enthusiasts, otherwise you will miss out on alot of the "inside jokes" and show-references scattered within. The game setting is unique and well developed. The live-action sequences offer a new spin on the traditional gaming modes and the look of the clips is as dark and foreboding as the show itself. The character of Craig Wilmore (the FBI agent that you represent) however is drab, poorly acted and down-right annoying. It would have been far more interesting to portray Mulder or Scully or even one of the supporting characters that are actually on the show. You are given numerous opportunities to select the mood or emotion via your response to other characters in the game. This is an interesting concept, however the different selections have very little impact (if any)on the game outcome. The artificial intelligence mode is a welcomed alternative to merely wandering around aimlessly searching every inch of any given room. Without it, the game becomes a tedious, snail-paced journey into frustration. Interactions with main characters from the show, as well as the introduction of most supporting characters, are highlights to the gameplay but only serve to further illustrate how lame Agent Wilmore is. To top it off, the game is not that challenging and once solved, the prospect of replaying it seems pointless at best. The game is a good first-try from show creator Chris Carter and offers some unique and inspiring experiences in the wide world of video games. Although the game does have some flaws, it is an enjoyable, addictive romp through familiar ground, at least on your first run. Let's hope that Mr. Carter and Fox Interactive give it another try and develop a a sequel which addresses the short-comings of this game and provide a more challenging journey into the world of the X-Files.
