Saw - The Video Game Review

Have you ever wanted to be trapped in one of jigsaw's games?.. Or atleast play them yourself?.. Ofcause you have and now is your chance.
Saw the video game is an adventure.. nah more like a horror adventure. It got some action and combat but we will get into that later. You play as Detective David Tapp, the cop from the first film. The game takes place between the first and second saw movie.
When you first start the game you wake up in The Reversed Bear Trap. The trap Amanda was trapped in, in the first movie. You will see the famous TV in front of you and Billy(The white doll Jigsaw is using in his tests) will come up on the screen and tell you why your there and what you have to do to escape. Now you dont have to go search for a key to get this thing off, instead you just need to move your mouse(Or controller if your playing on the Xbox or PS3) around to keep you calm and then the trap will remove itself actually. Now that your out of your trap it's time to get out of Jigsaw's asylum. You have to solve puzzles in order to get through the game, those puzzles include: A normal Jigsaw Puzzle, A Pipe Puzzle(Those can be hard), Powerbox Puzzle(Not that bad they just take time) and other kinds of puzzles. Most of these puzzles are randomly generated everytime you play the game. Once in a while you might run into other people who are trapped and playing a game just like you. Their job is to kill you and retrive a key hidden in your stomach in order to escape their own game. Ofcause you have to fight those people. The combat system in the game is horrible with a capital H. You will get annoyed at it, The enemies can somehow punch faster than you and you would think that a baseball bat would be better in combat than your fists... But you would be wrong. When carring a weapon your attack is so slow that you almost doesn't have a chance. Remember if you buy and play this game.. Use your fists... Always.

But apart from the horrible combat system it's a really cool and fun game. You really feel like your trapped in Jigsaw's game. When you enter a room and pick up the audio tape... Then you see the timer on the wall starts ticking.. That.. is an awesome feeling.. Fast thinking is required sometimes.

Overall it's one of the better games out there. If you like the saw movies.. You will love this game. I give it 8/10.






Game Over...
