Twisted psycho Jigsaw wants to play a game. And he's taken his idea of a good time from the big screen to the Xbox 360. You're trapped in an abandoned insane asylum that he controls. The building is littered with horrifying traps. Think quickly and you might make it out alive. Each trap presents a harsh moral choice. And when you play by Jigsaw's rules, there is no good answer. On top of evading traps and wrestling with stinging moral decisions, you'll fend off Jigsaw's minions using whatever weapons you can find. Go deeper into the Saw mythology and learn why Jigsaw started "playing" in the first place.

Like the movies... almost great.
Let me first begin by saying I am a fan of the Saw franchise. Not so much what it is, but what it could be. The premise and potential of the Saw movies is what I love. It is also what I love about the game.
<br />
<br />I bought the game at release and played it through on the Insane difficulty in three days of off and on playing. My rough estimate on total time played is 12 hours.
<br />
<br />The game is made up of exploration, puzzles, and combat.
<br />
<br />The environments are small enough you never spend too much time running from one encounter to the next. Hidden areas and items are common through out the game and rewards you for exploring.
<br />
<br />The puzzles are enjoyable and rewarding to solve. While making use of some repetetive mechanics, the puzzles were always fun. Most puzzles can be passed on the first attempt against them. There were only a few were I had to replay them several times and never enough to get annoyed.
<br />
<br />The combat was my least favorite part of the game. Aside from not being motivated to kill 90+% of the hostiles, the fighting felt awkward. Once the game's timing is mastered, there is only one type of enemy that still offers any genuine challenge.
<br />
<br />The graphics and sound are both adequate. The environments are all places I would never want to be (big plus for a survival horro game). The music does a fine job of building and relieving tension throughout. The voice acting is really hit or miss depending on the character. Danny Glover is missed as the voice of Det. Tapp, but Tobin Bell does another great job delivering the full persona of Jigsaw. The random dialogue is extremely repetitous and makes the other characters feel like cardboard cutouts at times.
<br />
<br />I enjoyed my first play through and am looking forward to playing it again. Earning achievement points is very easy in Saw and the average player should expect to earn 100% of them with minimal planning.
<br />
<br />This game is a no-brainer for a rental and fans of the franchise should buy without fear

A fun game better appreciated by fans of the films
STORY - The events of the game seem to take place between the second and third movies, with a main plot somewhat similar to the latter. You're a cop who's obsession to bring the Jigsaw killer to justice has destroyed many of the lives around you and each of them play a big part in the game you've been given. Of the six major chapter finale traps, two of them seem to be brand new while the remaining four are variations of those we've seen in the films. Along the way you will have to face off against many other Jigsaw minions who all want something you possess that they believe is the key to their freedom. To survive the many traps you'll need to solve various puzzles involving gears, circuit boards, valves and more. These puzzles, particularly the valve mini game, can sometimes be very frustrating but most of the time they are well done and fun. As with the movies, there is a twist in the story that you never see coming and the game has two alternate endings, one just as dark as the other.<br /><br />SOUND - Ambient sounds and music give off an eerie vibe that keeps you on edge wondering what is around the next corner. The voice work by Tobin Bell is top notch, however, the supporting cast suffers from a lack of original lines. Hearing them beg for help gets old fast. <br /><br />VISUALS - Neither the best nor the worst we've seen on the 360. The long abandoned asylum that the game takes place in is very detailed and varied. Though the setting is intended to be dark and gritty, sometimes it's really hard to spot tripwires and you often lose your head to a gruesome shotgun booby trap. If you're like me, you'll want to fail each finale once just to see spectacle of the kill.<br /><br />CONTROLS - The controls are hit and miss, literally. When it comes to general navigation and puzzle solving they work as they should, however, during combat are clunky and unresponsive. This leads to unnecessary deaths and/or excessive use of health hypos.<br /><br />STORY - 8.5 <br />SOUND - 9.0 <br />VISUALS - 7.5 <br />CONTROLS - 4.0

EASY ACHIEVEMENTS!
-The game was ok. The having to figure everything out from jigsaw was pretty difficult on some but kept you going. If your a person who wants to up thier gamerscore than this would be the game for you.
<br />
<br />-The difficulty of this game is whatsoever not hard. Put it straight to insane difficulty and you will have zero trouble making it to the end.
<br />
<br />-Graphics are ok, not the greatest for a 360.
<br />
<br />- My overall opinion of the game, is if you like the movies and a tired of them coming out, than i would only just rent it and not buy it. I got this game from gamefly and the next day i had it back in the mail with 980G and only one walk though the game. But yes i would recommend it just because it is something different

Good, not great
Although it wasn't the top game in my Q, I reluctantly decided to play SAW, just because of the seemingly "easy" gamerscore ppl were talking about (and hoping it was at least half as decent as the movie).
<br />
<br />....I was surprised, yet not surprised. Why? The game, just like the movie, is sometimes frustrating and repetitive. I found myself picking a lock almost around every corner, medicinal cabinets are easy but VERY repetitive as well, and the "challenges" (areas where you have to save a person or yourself) are....interesting.
<br />
<br />The voice acting is dull (esp. hearing the VERY aggravating, "Please hurry!" or "Hurry the (cough) up!!!" while trying to rescue someone.
<br />
<br />Replay value is low, a decent rental is you HAVE to, but I wouldnt recommend it.

Fun Puzzle Game
It's a fun puzzle game. The puzzles are not too difficult but some can become annoying because they are timed. The controls are very simple and easy to remember. The storyline is basic and straight to the point just like the movie. If you're looking for easy Achievements then this game is for you. I got all 1000 points in just a few days. However if you don't like puzzles then this may not be the best game to play. The graphics and the game in general are almost identical to the Bioshock Franchise. Overall it's a very simple fun game to play if you have about 14 hours to kill.

I wanted to SAW the disc in half
Listen i love Saw my first Impressions were good and this usually means a good game but boy was i wrong the combat system is broken, it's mindless, and really would only appeal to anyone who wants to sit there for an hour doing something it's a puzzle game and a button smasher, the challenges were way to easy, and i was mad after 2 hours and waiting a week for it. <br /><br />Which causes me to give it a 1.

SAW.... it coming..not
so i read a lot of reviews on this game before i added it in my gameQ.<br />I got it anyway, the game play isnt to great, started on insane and died way to many times on the 1st minnion. When to normal and enjoyed the game a little more, acheivements are my thing and this game seemed to be and easy 1000g but after seeming simple puzzles turned into multiple times running to the computer and looking up codes, how to sections, and multiple walkthrus, i just couldnt take it anymore all the one hit kills restarting missions every min. not even worth playing through for me rent it if your really really desperate

Dont get it
Bad game-play. Horrible/stupid story line. Bad graphics. Easy puzzles. I stopped playing about an hour in... only hoping it was going to get better.

Unless you like the movie yes
I tried to enjoy Saw Video game but after a while I finally said this game is not enjoyable. Repetitive puzzles and gameplay. And the combat system is one of the worst I ever use before. But if you are a fan of the movie then do it but if you are not stay away from this game.

SAW
Okay so I am only a fan of the FIRST movie so, no Fanboy here.<br />======<br />Rundown<br />======<br /> I haven't played that far into the game but here is the synopsis of what I have played so far.<br /> The game is a HORROR/PUZZLE game, weird huh? but it works out well.<br /> You are the black cop from the first movie, (the "Lethal Weapon" guy) and you get trapped by the Jigsaw guy and trying to escape and also trying to catch him.<br /> The game isnt that scary, people jump out at you sometimes and you have to kill them but thats all the scary.<br /> The scenery/ setting looks pretty creepy and youll here guys being tortured in the background.<br /> Often Jigsaw will trap you in a room and you have to find a way to escape, thats the puzzle part of the game. Of course the puzzles get more difficult as you progress through the game.<br /> The Music isnt that noticeable, but if you listen it adds to the ambiance of the game.<br /> GAMEPLAY runs pretty smoothly but the camera angles get frustrating sometimes.<br /><br />Well I think the game is worth the rent, and if you love the movies you'll definitely recognize some the the scenes. RENT IT! easy achievement points!
