Summary: Boring
Review: I thought this game would be great; I'm a big X-Files fan. But it was really boring. It was just a matter of finding the right place to be at the right time; no puzzles, no actions that would affect the flow of the game. You just wander from one place to the other. It was cool to be able to interact with Mulder and Scully, but other than that, this game was a waste of time.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: great game
Review: I thought this was a great game. There were a few times that I got stuck but I eventually worked my way out of it. The music really set the tone. I give it two thumbs up.

Rating: 3 stars
Summary: A pixel hunt game that held my attention!
Review: I'll say right off that I really don't like Myst and many other puzzle pixel hunt games. However, this game really somehow held my attention. It was suprisingly fun to play and the videos were very entertaining. I do agree with others that more Mulder and Scully would have been a plus but the game was still really fun to play.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Great Game
Review: Normally i don't like Strategy-Type games. But this one was great. Ofcourse, there is a lot of conversation and stuff. But it still was a great game. The only thing i didn't like is that u can't have full control of the game. I mean like, u can say whatever u want, u can choose the dialogue only from the options available. And Scully really irritates u a lot in this game. All i could do was shoot her in the game. I ended up in jail. If there was more choices, i would have pissed her off in the game. I mean seriously, u go to help her, she behaves like she's the queen of the world. I especially liked the last part. U turn off the lights in ur house and play the last part of the game, man it's scary. All the scary music and all of a sudden soldiers show up. It was great. However, I'll tell u this, Willmore dosen't look like a 33 year old guy nor does he look like a father of a kid. He looks much younger.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: X-Files for X-Philes
Review: Not a very good game in fact. But it is great fun to rescue Mulder&Scully and to collect evidence with A.D. Skinner for X-Files fans. X and Cancer Man appears in the game. I think X-Files fans must buy this game but if you are just an adventure game player, you should see it (maybe at your friend) before buying.

Summary: BEST GAME TO HIT MY PC!
Review: ok well since it is the x-files last year on tv(snif..snif), i decided to bye the game, witch people seem to like on these reviews, well im one of them, i have to go back and play it so ill make it fast, its a awesome game, better than that crap "x-files unrestricted access" so um..... get it know!

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Do do DO do DOO dooooooo
Review: Okay, you're NOT Fox or Scully, BUT they make their little appearances throughout the game as does Skinner. This was one of the first adventure games I ever played so at the time it seemed pretty difficult. In retrospect, it might seem a bit easier but still the same engrossing game. Lots and lots of investigating, searching for hotspots and all that.

Good things:
1. lengthy with strong story the whole way
2. good brain challenge
3. excellent visually and fab soundtrack
4. it ran great on win98
5. you get second chances, and thirds, fourths, fifths......

Not so good things:
1. not enought fox and dana
2. there's a shootem' up part and I'm not a fan
3. no follow-up game? what gives chris carter?

Overall, worth the effort as long as you have patience and LOVE to explore.

Rating: 2 stars
Summary: Chris, You can do better!
Review: Okay.. Well I'm a hard core X-Files fan and video gamer so I do know what I'm talking about when I say that this game was not 100% satisfying. Don't get me wrong in principle, It has most of the aspects that a good game should have... including that awsome full motion video. The problem was that your Craig Wilmore. This guy kind of sucks. You don't even see Mulder and Scully until the later Cd's in the game. Plus the plot isn't really that strong for it... if your a big X-Files fan you know what I mean, other than the fact that Scully is unbelievabely HOT, I watch the x-files because they have such good story telling. If this game was turned into an episode, I guarantee it would not be one of your favorites. So to sum everything up, this is a fairly decent game, and it was intriguing as well as challenging with all the groovy detective work and following clues, but if your a big fan of the show, don't bother, get Unrestricted Access, if you've played that, sit your conspiracy-loving, mindless zombie butt down and watch some of your favorite episodes

Summary: X PHILE
Review: Since I am a fan of the show I decided I needed to try out the game as well. The concept was wonderful although a bit trying at times when your character is wondering around bumping into walls. I did however, think it was great to find out what you can make your character do. As I wondered around through the first couple of disks I wanted to find out what the creators thought a gamer might try. When I shot the big boss, Shanks, I thought the "booking" sequence was hilarious. It actually starled me because it was such a surprise. I also loved a couple of the other ending before completing the actual goal. Maybe I'm biased but even though the story could have been a little strong the game was left open for X Files II. Well if X is telling the truth then I'll be in line to own the next game.

Rating: 3 stars
Summary: Don't get stuck!
Review: The only problem I have had with this game is several times I have gotten stuck somewhere in the game and couldn't continue on. I even tried putting it on easy mode where it gives you hints about what you are to do next. It wouldn't even do that. After starting the game over I didn't have that problem when i reached the place I was stuck at before. Don't save your game until you know that you are not stuck somewhere in the game, otherwise you will have to start it over like me. Other than that, I thought it was a pretty neat game.
