Saw: The video game

I always thought this would make a good video game ever since i saw the first SAW film.

Got it sent from Lovefilm today and had a quick blast.

I was in house alone so put on the 5.1 for a change.

Have to say it does a superb job of recreating the movies atmosphere, sounds are great, hearing someone scream, 'help get me out' from behind my settee was freaky.

Alot of the gameplay is dark so your given a lighter thats perfect in lighting up just enough to see where your steppig but not enought to light up the whole room and take away the scare factor.

The puzzles are ok, bit easy up to now, but when you only have 1 min before your head is blown off, the speed factor makes puzzles really tense.

Other inmates are scarey enough and make you jump, but heres teh massive down point, combat is shocking, really shocking. But it doesnt happen much so i'll let em off.

So only bout 1 hr in but it does a really good job up to now.

Was tempted to get this as I like the films and the reviews were ok, on the whole - Zavvi also had a good deal on - however, this is one I think I might pick up when it becomes cheaper because it will do inevitably!
