Not all FMV games sucked!

I've been playing X-fles for ps1, which is cheap (I found it for 5 bucks at Game Force) and worth checking out. It's a 4 disc FMV adventure game with full movement through pictures and video. You talk with fellow agents, witnesses, etc and at certain points you're asked a question by a person and get to answer in one of three ways i.e.: 1) Mean 2) Funny 3) Paranoid.I think how you answer is supposed to matter later on but I haven't gotten that far yet. The movement feels pretty constricted though which prevents it from being really interesting.

 

Do you recall if that was a port of the computer game? I remember the PC version (it was FMV in the same fashion as well) being fairly popular in the mid '90s when the X-Files was in its prime.

Yes, the PlayStation version is a port of the original PC version -- I've owned, played, and enjoyed both in the past. But the PSX version has some minor issues on a PS2 so you may be better off grabbing the PC version.
