Oh boy....let me start of by saying I'm a huge x-files fan and am a gamer that stays in the PS-1 To ps-2 Era of gaming. With that said i must admit I was really excited at the prospect of trying a Game from my golden era of gaming based on the x-files. With that out of the way the game is pretty ridiculous...what you have to go through to do anything in this is pretty wacky. This game works better in concept than it does in actual execution...In truth the game is pretty annoying when you first play it. So for the casual gamer just looking to play I'd steer clear of this because chances are you won't be into it. But for a die hard x-files fan it makes a nice inclusion to a good collection.

A nostalgic Point and Click game for X-Philes - check your compatibility!
PROS:+ Great for any aspiring X-Files fan to play+ Several cast members make appearances throughout the game+ Makes references to X-Files episodes and mythologyCONS:- No close-captioning/subtitles available- Compatibility issues with the PlayStation 2 and PlayStation 3I played this game on my PC years ago, and I recently got a copy for my PlayStation. It's a point-and-click adventure game with video clips which takes place around the tail end of the 3rd season of the X-Files.In this game, you play as agent Craig Willmore, an FBI agent based in Seattle. You're called in by A.D. Walter Skinner to investigate the disappearance of his favorite pair of FBI agents from Washington D.C., Fox Mulder and Dana Scully.The story is quite linear with slight changes that occur depending on choices you make during dialogues with non-playable characters. During the game you'll be searching for clues, going to different locations on your PDA, interviewing people, checking items on your computer, with occasional shootouts thrown in for good measure. Some of the rooms are very dark and it's hard to know exactly what to click on to move the game forward. Thankfully, there's an "Artificial Intuition" option to help find difficult items throughout the game.The PlayStation version is a 4-disc game, distilled down from the 7-disc PC version of
The X-Files Game
.Because of this, some gameplay elements were removed for the PlayStation version (like figuring out Willmore's computer password), but the plot doesn't suffer as a result.Some in-game jokes might be overlooked by casual X-Files fans, but if you were a regular watcher (or you've discovered the show on Netflix), you'll notice references to episodes like "Syzygy", "Blood Money", and "Piper Maru", among several others. One of the series writers, Frank Spotnitz, helped to write the game's screenplay, and I feel it could have worked as a two-part season 3 episode...the story is very good.The game has appearances by David Duchovny, Gillian Anderson, Mitch Pileggi, Steven Williams, and William B. Davis.CONS:I was disappointed to find this game had no option for close captioning or subtitles on the PlayStation, but these options were available for the PC version.Here's the biggest knock to the game: The X-Files is one of the games which "backward compatibility" forgot.When I tried playing this game on my slim PS2, everything worked...except the video, it was completely blacked out. When I tried it on my PlayStation 3, it worked, but all of the navigation and interaction icons were glitched. I've uploaded some pictures to the "Customer Images" section, so you can see what I mean.FINAL VERDICT:This game isn't too difficult, but some of the puzzles might require a peek at an online walkthrough, or use of the Artificial Intuition option.It's a great trip down memory lane for X-Files fans such as myself, and if you're lucky enough to have a PlayStation 1 lying around, it's the best machine to get the clearest picture.If you only have a PlayStation 3, it'll take some time and patience to get used to the visual glitches.

Great game for X Files fans!
This is a great game especially for X Files fans! Haven't played it for 16 years so I bought it. Of course it's lower resolution but it came out in 98! Great content and options. I love the artificial intuition option for clues and hints. It's still fun after all these years! And the copy I received worked perfectly in my Playstation 1 that I got back in 2000 (i guess it's a classic now along with this game)!

Interactive X-Files Episode.
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 be a member of the cast via your console.So I've re-purchased this game! I was so excited to have the game back in my hands and see the old quicktime videos play through. Man what a rush to add your own interactive episode to your collection. I only wish they had waited to put it on DVD with a few other episodes also. I imagine this was an expensive project.My only issue is that this disc doesn't play right in the PS2. The cursor is messed up and you need your old Playstation to see it as it was designed. Real Bummer. If anyone knows a fix please feel free to comment it on the bottom of this review.Final note, yes this is less game like and more interactive TV but, the game is well worth it. For fun, there are many kinds of endings. It's the only Full motion Video I've ever seen for PS/PS2. If you're willing to watch a stupid overpriced movie on your PSP why not interact with this X-files game? Some people are just never happy... If you're an X-files fan, love movies and tv, this game was designed for you.I missed it so much I repurchased it and I've never been happier to see an old game back in my hands. Fun fun fun.

The X-Files PSX (A Short Review)
hello, this is a short review of: the x files. The X-Files is a great game! It is now a collectable, and features a 4 disc set following Special Agent Craig Willmore. The Story starts with Agent Skinner coming to Seattle, Washington, Agents Scully and Mulder go missing from their hotel rooms. Skinner is worried about the missing agents and Assistant Director Hursh assigns Agent Willmore to the case and sends him on his way. The game features (FMV) or (Full Motion Video) it has a slow storyline but if you are a fan of the tv show you can be assured that this game will not disapoint. the graphics lag (lack quality) only a little bit but rest assured it is a great game. This game is a P&C or (Point & Click) adventure game that takes you into the mind of Agent Fox Mulder and Agent Dana Scully and into the world of a Special X-File Case that was written especially for this game. I would rate this game a solid 8-8.5/10.
