Horrible

Boring

That's all this game is. It's boring and repetitive. It's padded out annoying puzzles that are re-used over and over until you are only working on muscle memory. One of the puzzles is just a Memory Game with penalties.

It tries to give you plot twists but only ends up doing the very obvious. :SPOILERS: For example, at one point you have to save Mellisa Sing from a trap. She is the wife of Detective Sing, the partner of Tapp (The main character). Detective Sing died and the blame is laid on Tapp (even though Jigsaw placed the traps, but whatever.) Mellisa blames you for the death of her husband and constantly screams it when you save her. Howeer, she agrees to accompany you to live. Later on, however, SHE BETRAYS YOU! DUN DUN DUUUUUH!:SPOILERS END:

The ending sequence is very anti-climatic also, just because it's padded out with freaking Pipe Dream for most of it!

I've only saw the first movie and didn't care for it much, so I can't vouch for, "if you like the movies." However, on a game stand point, it fails at being a horror game (being that there is health given to you for every 20 feet, and there seem to be a large arsenal of revolvers just lying about during the second half.) It also fails at a puzzle game because the puzzles are so easy and uninspired it made me want to wait out the clocks so that there was just a semblance of challenge in here.

In short, the game sucks.

to start off ignore all of those biased reviews from gamespot,this game is perfect.In this game we all get to find out what happens to detective Tapp from the first saw movie.through out the whole game you will spend your time exploring,solving puzzles(some hard yet a trill to do),sometimes fighting, and avoiding booby trap's. what makes this PS version different then the 360 is better lighting and the use of the six axis controller which you use in some situations. this game is fun and also involves alot of patients. overall this game is a must play for any saw fan or people who like a good puzzle.this game is also a very easy platinum too.

Let me first say that Saw The Video Game is what you would come to expect from what it is, a movie game. Yes it is the new age and games are looking better and better but does that truely mean that this game isnt great because it doesnt have top of the line graphics or mechanics? To some yes, but to true gamers that would be a big NO. The game's story is compelling in the sense of your standard Saw movie. Puzzles, blood, traps, blood, dark erie music....did i mention blood? The game starts off with instant suspence and you keep it for most of it but there are elements that make you think "Why am I playing this game?" But dont fear, this game will actually hold your interest and keep you striving to capture Jigsaw. The twists and people they bring into this game was a nice start, the music was very nice, the character modeling and the graphics were just sub par. Some would say that the dark rooms is annoying, but seriously do you want a horror game, or just to be handed the key to your survival. You play this game for a challenge and to be scared, you dont want to light your path with a dimly lit lighter only to feel a bit safe then pick up your run pace to just have your head blown off because you were not paying attention? Then go play something else. this game is entertaining and may not be the best game out there but it was decent none the less.
