Jan 11, 2011Saw II: Flesh & Blood tries to bring a great deal of emotion into a game, this is something that developers have been trying to do for years and very few games have accomplished this effectively. Saw II fails to deliver this, it is difficult to become attached to the lead character and without this attachment it is difficult to be overly concerned about the characters.
-
Dec 20, 2010Just too lifeless to bother with.
-
Oct 27, 2010Based on the successful film saga, what starts being an entertaining adventure in the first steps of the game even with it's lacks, soon it becomes something extremely repetitive, due to recycling the same situations and gameplay mechanics over and over again.
-
Saw II doesn't just take a step backwards from the first game – it performs a reverse swan dive off a balcony into a swimming pool filled with razorblades.
-
Saw II: Flesh and Blood is a budget title, shoveled out in less than a year in order to cash-in on the fans that still remain loyal to the series.
-
Jan 11, 2011Saw II outstays its welcome after a couple of hours and keeps on forcing the hackneyed plot on you when you want it all to end.
-
Jan 11, 2011It could have been a decent game, despite de limitations of the property, but it ultimately results in something worse than the first game, which doesn't improve in what the original lacked.
-
Jan 7, 2011The clunky visuals and animations, the terrible gameplay and the repetitive puzzles make Saw II: Flesh & Blood one of the worst horror games currently available on the market. If you're a fan of the genre look elsewhere.
-
Dec 20, 2010Saw II: Flesh & Blood is a shameless tie-in with the minimal amount of effort undergone to get the title out the weapon-fitted door.
-
Play UKDec 25, 2010Horror games are supposed to be scary, but the only thing that really gives Saw II any credibility are some of the more interesting puzzles. [Issue#198, p.97]
-
Dec 20, 2010Outside of those few positives, it's a lesson on how not to use a movie license within the video game industry.
-
Jan 11, 2011Being released just a year after the first Saw game has resulted in an uninspired and recycled title, bringing with it the sense that this is just another shameless tie-in rushed out to capitalise on the license.
-
Dec 20, 2010The only thing of any value here is the story, and even then you're mostly just reading it in the menu screen. This game has nothing to offer anyone in terms of gameplay.
-
Oct 25, 2010Considerably worse than the thoroughly unremarkable original, this is a horror game but not quite in the way it was intended.
-
Dec 20, 2010No tension anywhere.
-
Dec 20, 2010The end result is not only a slap in the face to the Saw faithful, but to dangle it at a full price tag is the "Saw that broke the camel's back."
-
Jan 12, 2011High production values and charming characters makes Final Fantasy XIII a good game. But all to linear structure and boring story keeps it from being brilliant.
-
Dec 20, 2010There's a temptation to end this review with a play on Jigsaw's famous 'I want to play a game' line, but to call Flesh & Blood a game would be doing a disservice to games, and 'I want to play a train wreck' doesn't have the same ring to it.
-
Oct 27, 2010From terrible Quick Time Events to a surprisingly absent sense of horror. Poorly designed levels and monotonous traps do nothing to help its cause and save this game from the slaughterhouse. What little joy that can be found during your play-through is quickly squashed by the many flaws to be found.
