The X-Files the game without Mulder and Scully !
This review is for the PlayStation version

My title resumes the feeling I'm having for this game. The story is compelling, the acting is ... OK I guess?, the gameplay is a bit wonky especially when quick actions are needed but the missed spot is that you are not playing nor with Mulder nor Scully... but special agent Craig Willmore instead. I mean: what?! OK I get it: a budget title. You see the duo time to time when searching for them but I felt it missed the spot. Fortunately the story kept my on the edge of my seat, because I would've stopped playing in the first half-hour of gaming. This feels a fan-service game more than anything else. Well I got through it, and didn't leave any special mark on my gaming career. It was just another episode from The X-Files serie. Playable this time though. Anyway, if you are a fan of the serie gloomy mood and paranormal stuff: I think you should give a try.
