You choose lines for Agent Willmore to say and decide how he interacts with his environment. The game is literally like watching an episode of The X-Files unfold with the exception that you're the one doing the unfolding. If you're an X-Files fan, you can't go wrong with this. If you're a pure gamer, however, this thing is as wrong as a cigarette butt in your Cheerios. The game bogs down considerably as you hunt for clues. Remember that high-quality live-action video footage I told you about before?
Well, it's not high enough quality for you to see a cigarette butt on the floor of a huge, dirty, empty warehouse, or sharp enough for you to see -- I'm not making this up -- a bullet embedded in one of a dozen wooden beams in that same warehouse.
Spotting those two things makes finding a needle in a haystack seem easy. The problem is that the "help" offered by other characters is completely useless. The cigarette is a prime example -- until you find it, you're at a complete dead-end. Of course, Gillian and David and Mitch Pileggi, scary slaphead FBI boss man Skinner are in it, as well as Cancer Man, X black guy informant from series four and a bunch of other actors from the roster.
By then you're on CD eight and you'd rather be involved in their untimely and violent deaths than saving them. But, of course, you can't kill them. The whole game gives you the illusion of freedom: you can open most drawers, examine most pictures, even talk to seemingly irrelevant characters. But the storyline is completely linear, pushed on in a predictable, slow-loading, episodic manner if you fancy it, you can do a full install, but only if you've got 3.
They've said: We want to guide a totally unknown character in a straight line through The X-Files universe and be teased with the expectation of interacting with major cast members, only to find that the well-shot visuals are just a cover for a shabby, primary school attempt at an adventure game.
For many X-Files this game is a dream come true. Devotees can now interact with screen presences that are usually isolated in their ethereal box: Mulder and Scully, Skinner, the Cigarette-Smoking Man, and other series regulars make their appearance in Fox Interactive's very interactive seven-disc extravaganza. You play as Craig Wili-more, a junior FBI field agent, whose first job is to track down the charismatic couple who disappear in the game's opening cut-scene.
Your quest for the truth will take you through numerous locales, all permeated with the show's unique atmosphere: That weird indoor-fog clouds the FBI's Seattle office; streams of smoky light filter through an almost empty warehouse; a single bulb illuminates your spartan apartment. If you feel you're in a genuine TV episode, it's no accident: X-Files creator Chris Carter is responsible for the game's story concept, which takes place between the series' third and fourth seasons.
Despite its crystal clear cinematography and cinematic sound, you'll need the patience of a Mulder to get trough The X-Files: The load times are very slow. Luckily, the plot actually makessense fa rarity in video games , and clues lead to other clues which lead to discoveries with Holmesian logic you can use the game's Artificial intuition if really stuck.
Tine simple interface also makes playing enjoyable, help compensate for the game's mechanical shortcomings. X-Files, give thanks! And if you're unfamiliar with the show, but enjoy a good yarn, consider: jing nto a surreal world vhere the quest for the truth is at least an option. In the first case, you need to create and upgrade your base. Staff is recruited, research is conducted, an army is trained, etc. The tactical side of the gameplay focuses on turn-based ground battles between humans and aliens.
Xenonauts: Xenophobia X-Files has an important innovation - air combat. They come at the expense of fighter jets and flying saucers.
Ground mechanics have also undergone changes. For example, there are alternative victory conditions, such as the destruction of all enemies, the rescue of allied forces, etc. Soldiers fight with pistols, shotguns, blasters and other futuristic weapons.
