SAW is a third-person perspective, survival horror game based on the SAW film franchise. SAW features many of the deadly mechanical traps seen in the film, as well as terrifying new ones. Players will pit their wits against Jigsaw as they navigate his world in an attempt to evade and escape his gruesome traps, while also struggling against his minions in brutal combat by using weapons found within the environment.
The story centres on Detective David Tapp who awakens in a decrepit, abandoned asylum. He has been captured by his longtime nemesis, Jigsaw. Obsessed with catching this serial killer, Tapp's mission has consumed him and ruined his family, resulting in divorce, mental imbalance, and abandonment. Worse yet, this frantic hunt destroyed Tapp's career while he watched his long-time friend and partner get killed by one of Jigsaw's traps. Now Jigsaw has the upper hand and has captured the detective. Tapp must play a deadly game - the likes of which he has been investigating for years - to escape, and in order to do so he must survive the lethal traps and puzzles that Jigsaw has put in place for him and others. But each victim has a dark connection to Tapp. Will Tapp save them? Can he survive his obsession to find the Jigsaw killer?

Great game very challenging at parts and would reccomend to anyone wanted a little more than your regular game. 10 out of 10
The game is simple to play and if you like the films then you should like this too. The fighting is a bit stunted but lets face it, it was never a key component to the film so why would it be in the game. The basic puzzles are fairly simple and always the same types differing slightly, which when you have a limited time to complete them before dying is good as you at least have an idea of what you will be up against. The main puzzles do require some thought and speed but are very doable. All in all, a decent game for the weekend or a long afternoon.
