The X-Files

"One excellent game and adventure!"

Introduction -- If you don't know, this game is based on the TV show, X-Files. You play the role of special agent Craig Willmore. Your the only hope to find two missing FBI agents Mulder and Scully. Do you have what it takes to make it thru and save them?...

Gameplay -- 8 --- Gameplay for The X-Files Game is really easy, just point and click. It's all first-person view as you play as Agent Willmore. You'll find different kinds of items that will be useful in the game, and items that will make you understand what is going on with the investigation your in. But overall gameplay can be boring to some people because its really easy, but the game can be hard at times.

Story -- 10 --- The story, its pretty straight-forward. You play the role of Agent Craig Joshua Willmore that is signed to investigate two missing FBI agents. These agents are Mulder and Scully. They were assigned to a investigation but are all of a sudden... missing. Your the only hope when it comes to finding them and saving them thru what seems to be a normal finding evidences that will lead you to the conclusion, but with this mission your set out on... seems to having turning points to it. You'll find that a man is being ''controlled'' by an alien. This alien can touch anyone and have them burnt from head to toe. You'll meet up with strange happenings that are going on with your investgation. I really enjoy the story of this game, you just never know what may happen when you get further into the game. Everything was well put together like it should be.

Graphics/Sound -- 9 --- Graphics in this game aren't that bad. They seem to be very realistic, but are blurry somewhat. If your around someone, you can seem that they have a short scene of movement that they do. With sound, its that great. One thing I really enjoy about the sound was the music that would play in the background of different places your at. Like when your at Willmore's apartment and you click to view a photo of his little daughter or family, you'll hear music play, I love that. It gives you a good feeling about the game and makes you want to continue on your adventure. Acting for the characters were fantastic! They all did a great job. I really enjoyed the actor that play Agent Willmore, Jordan Lee Williams, he did an awesome job for that character. He also looked really cool for who he played. Nice work for graphics and sound.

Play Time/Replayability -- 8 --- The game from start to finish could take you about 10 hours, it just really depends on how good you are when finding items and others. The game is good when you play thru the first time, but replay for this game isn't good for most. Once you beat the game, I don't think you'll play it again. As for me, I've enjoyed this game so much that I've played it over 8 times now since I've had it. It's just that damn good! Never gets boring and its good to go back and hear parts that you missed. Also to find little secrets that maybe around. But if your not really into this game, you'll play it once, beat it and maybe trade it in for money or a different game.

Final Thoughts --- My final thoughts for The X-Files Game is this. If your a big fan of the X-Files, then give this game a try, you may enjoy it. As for those that are looking for non-stop action, this game wouldn't be for you. This game is more of an adventure game, your always searching and having to go to different places throughout the game. I believe I spent good money on this game and I still sometimes continue to play it over and over, I'm never going to sell it. But this game has to be one of my best games out of all games on Playstation.
