    Detective gaming at it's best

    What more could you want? Your very own x-file. It's great to look around and actually interact with the cast of the show. You aren't that limited to what you can do in this game which makes it fun and frustrated. You can get lost easily, but there is an option to make the game easy. A must play for anyone who likes detecting.

    Awesome

    I bought this game just because it was "X-Files" - boy was I pleasantly suprised. The video in this game is great, and the game is addictive! I played it for 5 straight hours one night. For those who love videogames, but aren't very skilled, there is an easy skill level on the PSX version - highly recommended.

    Favorite VG

    I'm not really into the whole video game scene. But since I have a playstation, had some toys r us card money to spend, and love The X Files I figured what the heck? And i'm so glad I bought it. Even thought you don't get to see as much GA and DD as I would like to, the game is fun and entertaining. I still haven't beat it...I got to the last level though! I love the fact that I can act how I would normally act and see if I would cut it as an FBI agent. The whole live-action thing is really cool too. Two thumbs up...fine family fun!

    We have uncovered the truth?!? It's a GREAT game anyway!

    This is a absolutly unique and excellent game and graphics and game play are great too! The movie graphics all the way through the game is a great idea! Finally a challenging game with NO CHEATS available to help us... cheers Chris Carter!

    Great PSX FMV Game

    FMV (Full Motion Video) games, in which include FMV during most of the game, aren't very popular among the Playstation, they were very popular in the Sega CD and 3DO days. When "The X-Files" was released for the Playstation, it gave gamers a view of the magic of FMV-based games, which hasn't been seen since the, now rare, Psychic Detective Playstation game, which was a remake of the 3DO version.

    Fans of the X-Files will find this game to be a great opportunity to be a part of "The X-Files", and almost anyone will find the storyline, gameplay, controls, sound, and picture to be quite satisfactory.

    David Duchovny and Gillian Anderson are also in the game, so it will give fans of the X-Files a chance to see the two in an episode that cannot be viewed on cable TV.

    My Rating (Based on comparison to other videogames) ****/*****

    Edit
    • Trivia
      Ten-Thirteen Productions assigned the game an official episode production code number, making it technically part of the official TV series continuity - a rarity for a video game.
    • Goofs
      When talking to Scully in the hospital, Willmore says there has been more burn victims, when in fact there has been only one. He also says he has encountered the unidentified man twice, when at that stage of the game he has only been encountered once.
    • Quotes

      Mary Astadourian: [after escaping bomb] It's times like this I wish I still smoked!

    • Alternate versions
      The Playstation version comes on 4 CDs and has degraded graphics compared to the PC version. The Windows PC-DVD release was bundled with different Pioneer DVD slot-in drives (and maybe others) and never sold separately. The DVD version includes English and French audio. Only some videos were upgraded to DVD quality, the rest was identical to the CD-ROM version.
