The X-Files resist or serve game review

I am an avid fan of the X-Files to this day but was not such a hardcore video game fan. My interest in video games was more or less gone by the year 2000.
Aside from a few games such as GoldenEye 007 and survival horror games which was really just the Resident Evil game series.

But since I'm a huge X-Files fan and saw snapshots of this game online, I had to see for myself. I was lucky since this game was just like Resident Evil with it's own storyline and many other differences. What a great way to enjoy playing two of your favorite characters in your favorite genres.

Weather you're a fan of Resident Evil or the X-Files or both, this game is a must play for you. However, despite it's great storyline and scenarios for each character, the game is not without faults.

Since this game is survival horror and like Resident Evil, it lacks realism. Take for example shooting a wall or a window. Not a scratch or a bullet mark. Only enemies react when shot. I know making the game is more realistic is expensive and time consuming, but realism is still what makes a game more appreciated.

On the subject of guns, most weapons used in the games, including automatics have cheap sounds and effects. This will give you a definite answer that realism was definitely not on the producers agenda, but rather good gameplay and storyline which the game meets.

I also dislike some secret keys and items that are impossible to find and to proceed with the game unless one looks up these things. A specific key in this game took me hours to find until I found the answer online. I cannot imagine myself finishing the game if I did not.

Other fans complained about the graphics. I agree the graphics could have been better but I'm not complaining.
Also this game does not compare to Resident Evil with many difficulty levels and weapons choices. I finished the game with both characters' scenarios and there was nothing more to do. It does not offer unlockable items and scenarios like Resident Evil. Once you've finished it there's nothing more to do with it.

Otherwise it's a great game and highly recommendable by me over most of PlayStation 2's fancy and boring games.
