Wassup, the game is the best game i've ever played. And u know what? I still haven't got bored of it. I still play although i've finished playing the game a thousand times. Another reason why i like the game is that 'coz Willmore has a lot of habits like i do as i observed in the game. Besides, the game has live environments, which is good, the Character Cook was great. The game would have been even good if Mulder had a better part to do. I mean like, i wanted to work the case with Mulder. That wasn't possible. That's the only dissapointment. Willmore Character was great. John Amis was good too. The last part of the game was just FANTASTIC. Scully was a damn irritating character in the whole game. U'll feel that if u've take a closer look at the game. Whatever. What's important is the graphics, the plot, the scary music, and the spooks, ALL OF THEM WERE JUST PERFECT. THIS GAME IS MORE THAN JUST FANTASTIC.

The best game i've played in 5 yrs

Hey man, i've played a lot of strategy-games such as Full Throttle, Sherlock Holmes and stuff like that but XFiles, this game scares you, it's more thrilling. You need to make the right decision at the right time. You have only a few dialogues, but event that, you have make the right choice. For Example, you could say a dialogue that could Upset Astadourian or comfort her. You could show ur anger on Cook or make peace with him. And in the last part, you have to make a right choice when cook confronts you, you have to walk the place carefully, if you get into a room you shouldn't have, that's it, you're history. The NSA Agents, when they confront you, it will be tough for you to decide what you're gonna do if you play the game for the first time. This game, you need to use your brains to play this game man. It's not as easy as you Indiana Jones or anything. This game is hard to play, spooky and needs your brain to get involved. If you're an XFiles/STRATEGY-GAME fan, this IS THE GAME FOR YOU

So close yet so far

I absolutely loved this game. It has everything I enjoy about computer games and more. I'm not an X-files fan but the characters and situations were still enjoyable to me. I like the interface and inventory and overall gameplay. The one disappointing thing about the game was the possibility of dying. I counter this by being careful to save before doing anything rash. However, when I was right at the end of the game, I killed someone who, apparently, was supposed to come and help me later on. The game should not allow me to get into this no-win situation! I had come so far and now I would have to start over in order to see the end of the game. Very disappointing.

Love the game

I really enjoyed this game. I could have used more Mulder and Scully in it. Also Skinner could have played a bigger part. The ending was a bit of a letdown but I really had fun getting there. I love this game.

great game

I thought this was a great game. There were a few times that I got stuck but I eventually worked my way out of it. The music really set the tone. I give it two thumbs up.

Great Game

Normally i don't like Strategy-Type games. But this one was great. Ofcourse, there is a lot of conversation and stuff. But it still was a great game. The only thing i didn't like is that u can't have full control of the game. I mean like, u can say whatever u want, u can choose the dialogue only from the options available. And Scully really irritates u a lot in this game. All i could do was shoot her in the game. I ended up in jail. If there was more choices, i would have pissed her off in the game. I mean seriously, u go to help her, she behaves like she's the queen of the world. I especially liked the last part. U turn off the lights in ur house and play the last part of the game, man it's scary. All the scary music and all of a sudden soldiers show up. It was great. However, I'll tell u this, Willmore dosen't look like a 33 year old guy nor does he look like a father of a kid. He looks much younger.

Man, I love this game

I got this game for my birthday about 2 or 3 years ago, whenever it came out. I was so excited to play it, since I was and still am a huge X-Phile. However, as my computer was rather slow (166 MHZ, 48 MB of RAM... you get the picture), the game ran very poorly on my computer. Therefore, I put the game up on the shelf, and didn't play it for a very, very long time.

Then about a year ago, my mom bought a new computer (500 MHZ, 64 MB of RAM). As I was playing around on it, I noticed The X-Files on the shelf. I then realized that I could play the game easily with no problems. I grabbed it off the shelf, installed it, and man was I impressed.

Now, although Mulder and Scully only appear in the great introduction and the final two discs, this game is still great. Mitch Pileggi, Steven Williams, Dean Haglund, Bruce Harwood and Tom Braidwood show up as some nice cameo appearances in the game, as well as William B. Davis as the Cigarette-Smoking Man, although he only shows up for a few seconds in an alternate ending. Oh well.

The plot is fascinatingly detailed, complex, interesting. I was stunned to find out that Willmore's "friend" turned out to be an enemy. Also, the graphics in this game are unbelievable. It's live-action video, but it's in incredibly good form and quality. It really seems like you're in an episode of The X-Files. There are lots of references in the game that only X-Philes would get (such as the Hell Money in James Wong's boat), which kind of makes the game more fun and familiar for X-Philes.

The bottom line is, if you enjoy the X-Files a lot, buy this game. If you're not a fan, you might want to get it from a friend first, but I suggest you all give this game a try; it's definitely worth it.

If I could live my life on the TV, I wanna be on the X-Files

The Title line says it all (stolen from a song by Danger Bob, a little-bitty but great band). If you watch the show, you will enjoy the chance to be on it. I guess it almost simulates being on the show because you DON'T play Mulder or Scully. It also simulates being on the show in the way of waiting for something to happen, although you aren't waiting for the lighting crew to set up the proper lighting, etc. You are looking for clues, and at times they are annoyingly difficult to find. The only way to progress is by finding them. There are wonderful in-jokes for the fans, and once you find Mulder and Scully, it is very exciting to have them onscreen. The story is okay, pretty much on par with this season of the X-Files. The items you use to help in the investigation make the game much more interesting and fun. The end became pretty draggy trying to figure out what to do. The sequence mid-game with X was terrific, as you get to experience again what a badass he is. Overall, thrilling but a little draggy for fans, probably a bit of a drag for non-fans.

X-Files The game

Although many people have downgraded this game; I did find it both intriguing and even heart pounding with the scenes and investigations. If you are a fan of the X-Files television show-then this would be a must for your collection! Although most games do fall short in some areas and are not perfect, this one is worth getting-and solving a couple of different times...

A game that every X-Philo must have...

After a few seasons and a movie, Fox and 1013 Productions have decided to create a game, which keep everyone who played it, inside the paranormal-freaky-and-lovable trama of The X-Files. Filled with high-one-of-a-kind FMV, oustanding soundtrack and a more than credible history, the search for the truth wasent so fun until now.
