1UP: Saw Review

Saw's derivative gameplay -- which even includes sliding around crates (or racks of frozen pig carcasses) and searching dressers for hidden valves to shut down nearby pipes spewing hot gas (did that happen this often in the movies?) -- has all been done before, and done better by titles like Silent Hill and Condemned. If you find the movies' bland mix of over-the-top gore and jump scares frightening, you might still enjoy this overlong, unoriginal experience. On the other hand, if you're looking for a truly frightening game, you would be far better served by exploring the games Saw so blatantly borrows from.
