The X-Files

"Great graphics, it is far to short"

The hit T.V program is now a playstation game. The X-Files was realished in the year 1999 so it is an old game.

The question people may ask 'Do you play as Mulder and Scully?' NO. You play as a FBI agent called Craig Willmore. Craig's Invesagation is to investagate the disaparence of the 2 FBI Agents Mulder and Scully. As you see on the first cut scene something happens the Mulder and Scully and they disapare.

X-Files is a point and click game. Which means you have a arrow, you move it around the screen and click on people and objects in order to progress through the game. Point and Click games are more popular on the P.C then the Playstation.

The graphics are totally real. Everything in the game from start to finish is FMV. FMV means Full-motion Video. It is like watching the program. All of the characters are real actors. No other playstation game has graphics this great (Well I have never heard of one that does!)

The sound is very creepy even when you are in a area that you know is safe it still sounds scarry. The voice of people is far to real. Gun shots are totally real. People voice is nothing but real.

The length is one of the bad things about it, it's just so short. When you get it it may seem long since it is on 4 disks. It may take you a few weeks to finish the first time but after you have finished it one you can just woop through it in half a day! Maybe because the whole game is an FMV they had to put it on 4 disks. It would be better if you maybe got some special stuff when you finish it such as a machine gun.

It is a very hard game that involes lots of problem solving. You may have trouble getting past a certain part, I sure did! Missing out a clue, or not knowing where to go gets frusting. There are 3 different puzzle difficults easy, medium and hard. This is the same for battle. You can change these settings at any time.

You can save your game at anytime. I mean ANYTIME. You must be very careful not to save your game if you are dead! This will mean when you load your game you will be dead!

Ovrall it's a pretty good game with great graphics, excelent sound, fairly short, with a screwed up menu.
