The X-Files Game - PC Games

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
