Saw II: Flesh & Blood for PlayStation 3 Reviews by Gamers

Try...Try...Again
Like the first game, this one takes many attempts to advance to the next stage. Toward the end I spent an entire hour getting through a rotating floor beaming lights that blow you up. YES AN HOUR, NO I'M NOT EXAGGERATING.
Like the first game I had to set my T.V brightness up just to see the graphics which are not great.
Unlike the first game, the combat and trip wires and chases are worse. Before, you could whack a guy with a bat. Now you have button prompts which are more difficult and less fun.
The puzzles are pretty much the same except there is a new light-bulb puzzle I could not figure out. I solved each one on accident. And there is no big puzzle maze at the end like the first one. There are better clues around the environment this time around for unlocking doors and such. (riddles on walls, glow in the dark numbers etc..)
The story is not as good as the first game and the plot itself wasn't told very well. Most of the details are in case files you find and have to read. This is a sequel that follows Detective Tapp's son Michael trying to figure out what happened to his father.

!!!Spoiler!!! In the beginning you play as another character Cambell who has a choice to live or die. He needs to die in order to get the good alternate ending for Michael.

This game is what it is. If you liked the first game you'll probably like this one too. Remember its hard to play and you die every 30 seconds. The controls and game mechanics are clunky and the camera is up close to your back so its hard to see where you are and what your doing especially in the dark.

Saw 2 is not as fun as the first game. Not as tense or scary. Even darker environment than the first. Not as well written or directed or animated. Just remember this isn't Uncharted 2 or Assassins Creed. Its behind the times a bit but be patient and you'll have a good enough 6-8 hours of play.
