SAW - PS3 Game (Retro Fam)

Fan of the movie? This is your game. The nostalgia is at an all time high, and does a good job of placing you in the setting and reliving the experience. Is the acting bad? Sure. Bad combat? Of course. But you're not buying the game for that, it's the puzzles, traps, and twists you want, and it delivers

If you love the SAW films, this game will be enjoyable. I played it six straight hours and could not put it down. I am not sure how far into the game I am because the manual is a little thin, but it has been enjoyable thus far. Some puzzles are require a little thought, while others are obvious.The graphics have the SAW look and feel, but the game is seriously missing the SAW theme music. The music is quiet and brooding, but it needs the theme song. It does have Tobin Bell's voice, but not Danny Glover's.I appreciate the auto-saves and the ability to die an unlimited number of times. Sometimes you just happen to stumble into a trap the instantly kills you. The case files you can read along the way seem useless and deal with a hospital. They seem out-of-place.It is easier to fight hand-to-hand than it is with a weapon. Drop all your weapons in favor of your fists!Overall, I am pleased with this game and look forward to finishing it.

I'm a huge fan of the Saw movies, so when I heard they were releasing a game I was ecstatic. But then I thought, what if this is just another miserable attempt to capitalize on a movie franchise in the form of a video game? Especially since the Saw movies aren't usually rated very highly by critics. Still, I made the leap and I'm glad that I did.You play Detective Tapp from the first Saw movie (Yes, apparently you survived, and no, unfortunately Danny Glover isn't in this game). The story takes place after the first movie but before the second. Probably a good decision on the designers' parts since those tend to be the more popular movies. You start off in a bathroom very similar to the one used in the first movie, but not exactly the same one, thankfully. The very first trap you are faced with is the reverse bear trap (You know, the one Amanda was in during the first movie?), and you have to get out of it immediately. This started off being really frustrating because I didn't notice the buttons that showed up when you needed to push them, but after awhile I caught on and the real game began. That pretty much sets the tone for the game; a bunch of puzzles and traps that might seem ridiculously impossible, but once you become aware of what's around you they aren't so bad.Other than that the game is pretty much trap after trap, victim after victim, and fight after fight. This might sound repetitive, and in a way it is, but I think fans of the movie will be intrigued by what is.

Nice for the price and something to do on down time!Recommended for anyone who loves the movies not for young kids though

I've been a fan of the Saw movie series ever since the first movie was released. So of course I had to try this game. I felt right at home with the story line and atmosphere. The game really captures the Saw atmosphere well. The voice acting is some of the best you will find in a game. I won't say it's the best game ever, but being a fan of the series, I was able to enjoy it.
