    I'm a huge fan of the Saw series from begining to last. I was actually excited to play the game. Until, this is a complete waste of $60 that I completly regret buying. It's a third-person surviver horror puzzle game, It kinda looks similar to Dead Space and Resident Evil 4. It's not fun or scary at all! The graphics are so dark and ugly, I wondered if I picked the right game. The controlsI'm a huge fan of the Saw series from begining to last. I was actually excited to play the game.

IDK how they screw this up and call it Saw and put Jigsaw in it when its no where close to be anything like the films. If you are a Saw fan like myself, I would flush this game in the toilet, and watch Saw II on Blu-ray in the dark. Its way better to do than playing that game. Expand

    A criminally bad game. If I had to choose one word to describe the game, I would choose, “torture”. It consists of everything people hate in games: incomprehensible timed puzzles, save points before cut scenes, obnoxious controls you name it. Extremely annoying and unforgiving.

    As a cerebral challenge SAW II is refreshing, fares noticeably better than the rushed original and is bloodier than an abattoir killing floor. That said, if you buy it expecting action that feels as visceral as the subject matter, you'll soon feel trapped with no way out. [December 2010 p76]

    Again Jigsaw fails to impress us much. This is mostly due to lack of innovation, lack of tension and some annoying elements. Just as the first part this is a nice title for the sales bin.

    SAW 2 is basically a step backwards from the first game.
