This was lots of fun for me because I like the show so much. This game is kind of like a choose-your-own-adventure story (but much more advanced)and depending on how you treat the people you meet in the game the outcomes of situations vary a lot. It just made me feel so much like I was actually on a case that I would be on the edge of my seat in fear when something risky was going on...and not many games can do that for me. I think seeing familiar characters talking directly to me added to the feeling of actually being there. If you like the show you'll love the game!

Great game, when is the next one

As a fan of Myst and Riven, I would not put this game in the same category. However, it does equally well for it's type. Myst and Riven don't have a main character that you are per se, whereas in this game, you have a name and a face.

The game puts you in the shoes of one agent Craig Wilmore. He is put on a case to find the missing X-files staff: Agents Fox Mulder and Dana Scully. As an X-files fan, I found this game very entertaining. As a gamer it was well within the genre of adventure games. There were hints, stuff to pick up, things to do etc. This was well within the capabilities of non-X filers and should be equally entertaining.

I likened this game to the Gabriel Knight 2: The Beast within and Phantasmagoria. Unlike Phantasmagoria, there were no gory scenes (of which I was thankful). The people were movies of real people and not cartoons. The dialgue though limited offered enough variability. One important point would be to save often. I got killed alot.

The game had enough of a plot you could figure out what to do next. That is essential rather than blindly clicking on everything you could pick up.

All in all a good buy. When's the next one?

An A to the X-files

Though some reviews state this game as boring, I must say that I found it the complete opposite. There is a great deal of interaction between you and the characters, plot, and evidence. Your choice of questions, behavior, and investigative skills make a difference to the various outcomes of parts of the case, making the game highly dynamic. Not only that, but it is graphically stunning.

Fantastic Game

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

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!

This is the sweetest game! The grafics are incredibly realistic and let's face it with Scully, Mulder and the Lone Gunmen in the game who could you possibly miss? ((Besides Krycek of course!)) If you LUV the X-Files You should buy this game. You'll fall in love with it. I sure did!

A must for FMV adventure fans

This game is a lot of fun, with a creepy atmosphere that revolves around the disappearance of Agents Mulder and Scully. I've heard some complain that they wish Mulder and Scully were in the game more, but I think you still see enough of them to keep most fans happy, plus I found the character of Agent Willmore (whom you play) to be very likeable. The storyline is very strong, the puzzles make sense, and the full motion video (FMV) sequences are very good. There are not very many FMV games around anymore, so if you like your adventure games with video sequences, this is really a "must have".

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.
