Editorial Review:
The truth is out there. And this game, based on one of the best sci-fi TV series in history, is way, way "out there." Despite performances by original cast members David Duchovny, Gillian Anderson, Mitch Pileggi, and a few other favorites, The X-Files puts the "normal" back into paranormal.
Collaboration with the TV show's creator, Chris Carter, ensures that the game attains the eerie visual quality of the show, but the lack of any tension or pacing makes one wonder why the game is spread across an unusually voluminous four PlayStation discs.
Mulder and Scully have gone missing, and as the poorly acted Craig Willmore, a local FBI agent, you must find the clues that lead to their whereabouts. Most of the game is spent aimlessly wandering from location to location, hoping to find screen hotspots that may possibly give players a clue as to what they are supposed to do next.
Conversations with others seem strangely stilted, and often the script offers up red herrings that will frustrate players who try to play the game as if it were logically designed. In a number of instances, even though you know what course of action you should take, you're forced to wait for the game to catch up with you before taking it. Unless you are a die-hard X-Files collector, there is little reason to own this game. --Jeff Young
Pros:
- Lots of well-produced video
Cons:
- No sense of pacing
- Limited interaction
- Poor documentation
- Illogical design
- Scully and Mulder's appearances no more than cameos

As mentioned, it's not a video game so much as it is an interactive episode of the show. Skinner figures prominently early in the game, and Mulder and Scully take the lead in the last disc. Also, Cancer Man, X, and The Lone Gunmen appear. There are some ridiculous parts, for example, a nurse can blow a whistle and all the sudden hospital security has rank over the FBI, huh?! But there are shameless references to the show, bringing you back to the good old days. However, there is a glitch at the end, ... Read More

When I bought my playstation one of the first X files was the first game i bought. I was amazed by how I could play and interact with a real episode of the X-files that included some of the conspiracy I loved to follow so much on tv.
Others may be put off by the fact that the game is not a cartoon-ish violent fest of murder and mayhem. Maybe, I'm being too harsh and they really miss the art of a game. However, for those who love the tv show, here is a chance to interact, have fun, and ... Read More

This game is so cool! I played it without a memory card and kept dying, so then bought a memory card and finally got past the first disc. Much fun had by me being obnoxious towards the characters. Try to handcuff Skinner and he gets uptight. Do it a couple more times and he gets madder! A true riot :) I did accidentally shoot Scully, and that was very disturbing. Other than that it's fun to get through, then put it away for a year and play again.
