A real surprise, I was pulling for this game to do great things. The game has taken the best elements from the classic survival horror games and combined it ingeniously with the Saw franchise. Although, the combat does fall short of perfect, but that doesn't ruin the game at all.

I am a huge fan of the series and to be honest I wasnt expecting much from the game but I was rather suprised that it turned out to be as good as it was. It did well to tie into the films, Good voice acting and sounds, solid graphics as well. It was also challenging to solve all the puzzles as well. The only bad thing is the terrible combat system, Besides that it was a good game.

For a movie based game its ok. The atmosphere and setting feel like SAW. The voice acting is average, nobody is great, couple are poor. Graphics are decent, they wont make your head explode ( see what i did there ) but is ok. The problem is that while i admit i get a bit anxious at times, this isnt scary. You fight 1 MAYBE 2 guys at a time tops. And with a broken fighting system thats fine. Weapons are useless due to very slow wind up times which are more noticeble than the slight damage increase. Some of the guys running around trying to kill you have traps on their heads (Reverse bear traps, Venus Fly Traps, and shotgun collars ) that provide some decent gore, but not anything extream. The traps are are common enough to keep you going, but not common enough that theyre around every corner. Which is good, because pretty much all of them are only interesting the first couple times, the variety pretty much consists of moving your hand around something filled with something that would hurt you looking for a key, lining up some gears, and 2 other puzzles, Though honestly pretty much all of them have been done a lot. In summary, a good attempt, but the rare spooks you might get and the decent amount of gore you see are massively outweighed by the lack of interesting puzzles, a combat system that is actually terrible, massive repitition. Was ok at the start, but as the game goes on the only thing that keeps me going is i hope the ending is decent. Rent if you really want to. DO NOT BUY!!!… Expand

Games based on movies are normally terrible. However whilst this isn't great, it's not bad either. Graphically it maybe a bit bland, but it manages to capture the atmosphere of the films perfectly. Besides, since when have Asylums been full of colour anyway? The one thing that hurts this game almost to the point of complete failure is the combat... if you can call it that. Awful just about covers it, unbalanced and just down right bad could also be used to describe the combat. It's just BAD! Plus this game can get really repetitive. The amount of toilets that you have to shove your hand into, I mean, a little variety wouldn't of hurt this at all. If your a fan of the films, then this is worth playing. It does make you feel like your in a SAW film. And the main traps where your trying to save other people can be both challenging and enjoyable, it'll take several attempts to nail them as they require alot of thought. It's just the combat and lack of variety that really hurt this game! Average at best.… Expand

Its actually a really good game but the only thing that sucks about it is the pathetic combat system, If it wasnt for that then it would have been one of the best games of the year.

This game is utter garbage its a bastard child of Silent Hill and Manhunt, but worse. The story is faithful to the franchise but unfortunately so are the environments. The game is one of the most repetitive I have ever played and once you get passed the gore (which is really tame, and graphically appalling). The controls and combat is shocking. The game itself plays like it should've been released in 2004. I looks horrible, the characters are bland, the AI is useless (the walk into your fist when you stand there mashing A) The puzzles are boring and repetitive and they clearly ran out of ideas as the game progressed. The only redeeming feature is that they managed to get Torbin Bell to reprise his role as Jigsaw and it is quite creepy with him bantering in your ear when you've got headphones on. Konami is in very serious trouble if this is anything to go by, especially if you take into consideration their latest Silent Hill title and the HD collection are flops. Summed up, even if you are a fan of the Saw movie franchise, do not waste your time with this… Expand

If your a fan of the Saw movies than this game is for you, it expertly takes the feel of the movies and combines with fun survival horror like gameplay, and it provides a cannon story that fits in with the already established movie series, the gameplay consists of puzzles, some light exploration, and combat encounters, the puzzles are challenging and fun, but the combat could use some work, most weapons take forever to swing so I mostly just used fists throughout most of the game, the game also has two endings (one of which could have used some work), and has nice length, but it can get frustrating at times, and is a little repetitive, and you some people may be disappointed that it's very easy to get all of the achievements, but if your a Saw fan this is a must play, an excellent game and a excellent addition to the Saw series.… Expand
