Binding: CD-ROM Brand: Fox Interactive Media EAN: 0086162048708 ESRB Age Rating: Teen Format: CD-ROM Label: Fox Interactive Manufacturer: Fox Interactive Model: 4104870 Platform: Macintosh, Windows 98, Windows Me, Windows 95 Publisher: Fox Interactive Studio: Fox Interactive Variation Description: X Files Accessories: Editorial Review: Amazon.com Review: Fox Interactive successfully transforms the popular science-fiction television series The X-Files into an exciting, but not entirely flawless, multimedia adventure game. Spanning a massive seven CDs, The X-Files Game places you in the role of FBI agent Craig Willmore, assigned to investigate the disappearance of special agents Fox Mulder (David Duchovny) and Dana Scully (Gillian Anderson). Over the course of the investigation, you'll interact with other X-Files characters, such as Skinner (Mitch Pileggi) and "X" (Steven Williams); use a wide range of FBI gadgetry; and unravel many challenging puzzles. Graphically, The X-Files Game is fantastic. All events are presented in crisp, colorful, television-like full-motion video that looks incredible on any Microsoft Windows 95/98 compatible video card. Sound and music are also topnotch; the show's familiar theme song resonates throughout the adventure. Both adventure-genre novices and experts should feel at ease with the intuitive mouse-driven interface and the puzzles, which never exceed medium difficulty. The X-Files Game's biggest downer is the lack of the television show's principle characters, Mulder and Scully, who, after the cryptic introduction, don't make an appearance until the very end stages of the story. Still, if you're an X-Files fan who can't get enough alien conspiracy theories, you'll likely enjoy this interactive episode. --Doug Radcliffe Amazon.com Product Description: Join special agents Fox Mulder and Dana Scully in The X-Files Game, an all-new live-action adventure from Fox Interactive. This investigation into the shadowy world of The X-Files contains entirely new footage, shot exclusively for this title. As agent Craig Willmore, you'll examine evidence, interview witnesses, and interact with familiar X-Files characters, such as Fox Mulder, Dana Scully, Assistant Director Skinner, the Lone Gunmen, X, and other familiar faces from the series. The X-Files Game incorporates VirtualCinema technology, a cutting-edge software engine that allows the player to become the main character in the story. Players are able to respond to and affect other characters' attitudes and behavior, which change as the game progresses, depending on the course of previous events. An intuitive user interface facilitates complete immersion of the player into The X-Files world. Developed in close cooperation with Chris Carter, The X-Files series creator, and Ten Thirteen Productions, The X-Files Game features the work of Frank Spotnitz, series writer and co-executive producer; Jon Joffin, director of photography; and Mark Snow, composer. Average Rating:
 Rating:  - Best game everI love this game. It is almost impossable to find games that DON'T have CGI in them. I don't want to play pixelated characters from a computer screen. I want to see live action actors that you can manipulate and have talk to people. This game really is a great deal of fun. Rating: - Do do DO do DOO doooooooOkay, 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 Read More Rating: - A good mystery game for X-PhilesThis was not the best mystery/adventure game I've ever played, and I'm not even a big fan of such games to begin with, but I am a serious X-Phile. Despite the seven CDs full of Full Motion Video than make up the game, it wasn't a whole lot like being in an X-Files episode. Instead, it was more like being one of those "other agents" who make brief appearances two or three times per season. You actually have to do some of the tedious legwork to collect evidence instead of having it conveniently handed ... Read More Rating: - A game that every X-Philo must have...After a few seasons and a movie, Fox and 1013 Productions have decided to create a game, which keep everyone who played it, inside the paranormal-freaky-and-lovable trama of The X-Files. Filled with high-one-of-a-kind FMV, oustanding soundtrack and a more than credible history, the search for the truth wasent so fun until now. Rating: - Love the gameI really enjoyed this game. I could have used more Mulder and Scully in it. Also Skinner could have played a bigger part. The ending was a bit of a letdown but I really had fun getting there. I love this game. |
