Sorry if there's already a thread out there, wouldn't let me search for "Saw the game" or any arrangements of those words. Has anyone else there played this?
I was pretty skeptical at first considering most movie based games are garbage and the game was being developed by a studio that does war games primarily. Much to my surprise, this game is a lot of fun. The story takes place during the events of the 1st game. Detective Tapp (Danny Glover in the movie, but this detective Tapp looks & sounds about 20 years younger) is stuck in an insane asylum trying to capture Jigsaw after his partner was killed.
For the gameplay, the easiest thing I can say is take Condemned and replace the CSI stuff with puzzles. The puzzles can get pretty challenging, especially when there is a timer ticking and you have to either save someone else, or yourself, but they add a nice distraction from the tense walking around and trying not to get your head blown off by traps, or having people trying to kill you.
The game isn't too bad in length either. I'm 10 hours in and on the 5th of 7 chapters. Achievement points are very generous, I believe in the first 15 minutes I had 140 points.
Overall I'd say its a must buy. Maybe not at the $60 price point, but if you can find it cheaper, go for it. The game does have some replayablility since just about every time you run into bad guys, they give you at least 3 methods to dispose of them without even needing to use weapons. I've died on purpose just to try to kill people in more gruesome ways, so I cant see why I wouldn't want to give the game another playthrough.
Cmon CAG, lets play a game.
