Ok so i imported SAW.. Im a huge fan of the films.. I personally hate long reviews so im gonna make this short and sweet.
You play as Detective "Tapp" whos has had an obsession with jigsaw and finding the truth.. Each level is split up into "case files" or people you have to save. In the beginning i was wowed I thought this was an awesome start of a fantastic game but it dragged on. As you go along you will come across "test" and puzzles that jigsaw has made just for you. They were fun at first by the 20th puzzle you want to pack up your bags and leave.
This is an example of one of the monotonous puzzles easy but annoying in the end.

There's people to hurt in this and if you end up playing it you will find out why they are attacking you.. But unfortunately the designers put little thought into the combat and it fails cause it chunky and slow.
The ending was a bit dull.. there's two ending and each one is a little shocking but sad.. hate to tell you but there's no happy ending in SAW.
There is one really great thing about the game is the gore.. Fancy a head exploding anyone or dead pigs hanging from hooks?

Well in conclusion if you are a SAW fan go out and buy it cheap.. If you are a trophy hoe go and rent it or borrow it off a friend. and if you are neither don't waste your time or money. I enjoyed it cause im a fan of the movies and only have 4 trophies to go before i get platinum. Its just a game thats great at the start but it just drags and drags..

Graphics: 6 out of 10 a lot of blood but it looks a bit off

Sound: 9 out of 10 I love Tobin bells voice who was the star of all 5 films.. He leant his voice to the game which makes me give extra points..

Combat: NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!! WRONG!!!!!!! 1 out of 10

Gameplay: Stop no more puzzles... omg 5 out of 10

so 6 out of 10

Thanks, I was always worried the Saw game would suck, and sure enough you seem to have confirmed this.
PS "i"=I, "jigsaw"=Jigsaw, etc

true.. it didn't completely suck but it did suck a little
I thought this would of been good but by the looks of things it looks pretty crap. Pass, next please
I enjoyed reading your review Mandy. Was short to the point.

So the game itself drags on like a lot of other reviews we see here? Dragging on like a puzzle with no real ending. I will check out SAW in good time. But I'm afraid to say I was expecting these results.

Again nice easy reading!
thanks icu.. ill get the last 4 trophies then ill try to sell it here.. still could take me another weeks to get the last ones though.. ill probably sell it for $55 including registered post
Great review Mandy! I thought you would have given it more?

nah mate im so over it.. it's like eating 2 blocks of your favourite chocolate.. at the end it just makes you feel ill
I was actually planning to buy this game when it comes out.. but after reading this changed my mind lol. I want more action instead of puzzles
Great review Mandy, short sweet and to the point shame about the game. I thought it could of been quite good ill still check it out though

maybe pick it up once its $20
all reviews should be this simple. i like it!
It's a bit of a shame they didn't really run with this one, as I'm sure they could have made it truly memorable. A must-play, nontheless for fans of the movies, by the sound of it - great review tonyamanda.
