The worst game I have ever played

I bought this game when it first came out and I hated it!!! I wanted to be Scully instead I got to be some shmo who was not even in the show. This really sums up what the game is like "Come back later." Oh by the way, I would have not even given it one star but it is reguired!

this game isn't that good

I love the x-files & I haven't missed an eppy for 3 years,but this game [is bad]. I'd be nicer, but I bought it for ... and my god, it's sooo slow. All, my other games r very fast, so i know it's the dumb x-files one that's messed up. Also, it's boring & barely anything exciting happens. Tho it is kinda funny when you kill urself or kill scully or mulder or your boss of whoever. Oh, I have the PC one... the box looks cool, but the game sucks. Rent it instead of buying it & you'll *so* see what I mean.

Interesting but limited...

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.

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!

X-files disappointment

I liked the game to an extent, but felt it was very limited in the way you were able to go about finding the solutions, etc. It was a one way only, game. I also felt it was a little slow, especially, when your ideas didn't happen to coincide with the way the game was set up. It did have some good points and was enjoyable, in many ways, but for a 4 disc game I felt it lacked options and replay ability.

Great Game one Problem

FMV does NOT a video game make....

When will people learn that stuffing 4 CD's full of Full Motion Video (FMV) does *not* make a video game? X-Files:The Game is more like an interactive movie that a computer game. This genre died with Night Trap on the Sega CD. However, if you're an X-Files fan and enjoy a good 'whodunnit' this game is still a good buy (just try to find it on sale).

Good game, but no replay value

This game is entertaining and will take a while to finish. However, there is absolutely no replay value. Mulder and Scully don't show up until late in the game, but that doesn't really detract from the fun. X-Files fans will like it but if you are not a fan of the TV show, don't buy it.

Good game, good graphics, almost too simple.

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.
