Video Game Reviews of X-Files PS

Customer Review: Interactive X-Files Episode.
Summary: 5 Stars

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.

Description of X-Files PS

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
