The X-Files Game will delight fans of the series by placing them wholly inside a world of lies and conspiracy, complete with a torrent of in-jokes and interaction with their favourite series regulars. Even non-fans will enjoy this spooky sci-fi romp, due to its slick interface, gripping plot-line and highly immersive quality. This franchise game succeeds in appealing both to established fans and the wider market, while stretching the limits of FMV technology.

It's like an X-Files primer, filled with cute references to events from the show and following a plot that the devout will be able to predict within the first 15 minutes of the game. The X-Files Game opens with one of the most illogical puzzles ever presented in an adventure game.

Unfortunately, the game falls victim to standard full-motion video problems, namely, linear game play. Since there are a limited number of filmed sequences, you must adhere to a specific path in order to progress through the game. This can become quite repetitive especially when you fail to do one thing necessary to advance the story line.

Half the time you're playing you find yourself staring into the screen at the same old scrap of evidence, no music, no sound, no action. If you like the X-Files, you're better off watching reruns on the television program or going out and seeing the movie.
