Review of SAW
Jigsaw has killed your partner and destroyed your life. Now he has trapped you in an abandoned insane asylum that he alone controls. If you can defeat his brutal traps and survive, you may just discover the truth behind what drives this twisted serial killer. SAW is a third-person perspective, survival horror game based on the SAW film franchise, which has grossed more than $665M worldwide and sold more than 28 million DVDs. The game features many of the deadly mechanical traps seen in the film, as well as terrifying new ones. Players will pit their wits against Jigsaw as they navigate his world in an attempt to evade and escape his gruesome traps, while also struggling against his minions in brutal combat by using weapons found within the environment. SAW, the video game, is based on a treatment from Zombie Studios and the creators of the SAW franchise, Leigh Whannell and James Wan. The timeline for the game takes place between the movies: SAW and SAW II, giving the game its own story, yet fitting within the narratives of the movies. The story centers on Detective David Tapp who awakens in a decrepit, abandoned asylum. He has been captured by his longtime nemesis, Jigsaw. Obsessed with catching this serial killer, Tapp’s mission has consumed him and ruined his family, resulting in divorce, mental imbalance, and abandonment. Worse yet, this frantic hunt destroyed Tapp’s career while he watched his long-time friend and partner get killed by one of Jigsaw’s traps. Now Jigsaw has the upper hand and has captured the detective. Tapp must play a deadly game—the likes of which he has been investigating for years—to escape, and in order to do so he must survive the lethal traps and puzzles that Jigsaw has put in place for him and others. But each victim has a dark connection to Tapp. Will Tapp save them? Can he survive his obsession to find the Jigsaw killer?

Great Game
I got this game as a birthday gift (I love horror-survival games) and I was surprised how much I liked it. Anyone who likes the "Silent Hill" series will like the dark, creepy atmosphere and the wide ranges of puzzles offered in this game. It really is a good game for survival-horror fans.

I would rather...
I would rather shove my hand into a blender, crank it up to the highest setting possible and pour lemon juice on whatever is left than play this horrid game again! Dispite having Tobin Bell voice Jigsaw, the game was still horrible! The controls were like whoever thought them up, decided not to bother with controls that made sense but instead just made them assbackwards and convoluted as hell! The graphics even suck for a next gen game! Plus you're in an insane asylum with a buch of other people all out to get you....uh, in the movies, it was just a group of people, not a whole damn mob! The puzzles are awful as well, often being too time consuming to bother with, or when you got to do them, you wanna just wing the controller at something. I would pay NOT to buy this game! You'd be doing yourself a favor if you passed this title up, just stick with the movies...at least those are somewhat entertaining. 24 hours after buying this game, I sold it to GameStop.

SAWvival horror
when i bought this game..i gritted my teeth at the counter when i purchased it, i was actually feeling a little embarrased that i was buying a game based on a movie..which we all know 95% are terrible..BUT...i was surprised to find out..it is one of the better games made from a movie..there are plenty of flaws yes...the combat ..the lighting..(hard to see at times)..repetitive puzzles..BUT..i couldnt stop playing, it was fun..addictive..i wanted to see what happened next..the other reviews explained this game rather well..ill cut it short and say, if you like saw movies and if you like survival horror, silent hill type games,you will enjoy it..the ending was cool..passing grade from what i expected..
