I'm a huge X-Files fan and this was a big disappointment. The opening chapter is a fantastic Silent Hill/X-Files mashup, even if Duchovny and Anderson are sleeping through their performances. There's a definite thrill in seeing all the familar cast (The Hidden Gunmen! The Cigarette Smoking Man! Skinner!) rendered in PS2 jank-o-vision. Mulder clad in nightvision goggles and wielding an AK47 is hilariously incongruous, too. The story goes from a reasonably plausible setup to ancient temples, castles, and other nonsense. Every new chapter knocked the score down by a star. By the time I got near to the end I was playing with cheats and utterly bored out of my skull. Worth it for X-Files fanatics alone, and barely worth it at that.

I really wanted to like this one more. One of my favorite TV shows mixed with one of my favorite game genres. Even the actors provide the voices to the game. They even have the intro of the show play after each chapter. The early zombie town levels are pretty good but the game quickly falls apart. For one the voice acting is peter dinklage destiny levels of bland i dont wanna be here levels of acting. Two the game is so unevenly paced and takes so many strange paths. Game gets much worse as it goes on and becomes a frustrating mess. Couldnt even stomach to finish it. Thats bad.
