Saw: true video game fans or trap?

Unhealthy. Glaucous. Gore. Three adjectives that describe disgusting though the universe of Saw. And what is true to the movies is true this time in video gaming. Because yes, the popular Saw franchise comes to land on consoles – PS3, Xbox 360 and PC specifically. And as luck “Saw 6″ comes out to the movies.


In the footsteps of Silent Hill
Saw the game again so all the ingredients of different films. Starting with the universe of course. From this standpoint, the game from Konami is a success. The player moves in dark environments we much prefer to aion gold kinah on his TV screen that’s true.

From a graphical perspective, Saw is on the same line as silenthill: Homecoming, Konami’s other games released in early 2009. This means in practice that, while not bad, these graphics are disappointing, despite some lighting effects well under control and stressful at will.

Good and less good
This stress is omnipresent throughout the game though “lifelong” is summed up in 8 small hours to reach the end of the game is Fast, well made, large. To achieve complete Saw, it suffices to solve some puzzles of varying complexity – Jigsaw thank you! The reflection was also preferred over the action, the fighting here is largely relegated to second place, unlike a Resident Evil for example. Fortunately, however, for gameplay level, it is not necessarily a success …

A book for fans of the film?
Saw nevertheless a good game of survival horror. Certainly, the shortcomings mentioned above disadvantage. But this game at least has the merit of being a successful film adaptation, and given some other attempts, it was far from won! Therefore, the game would more appeal to fans of the movie franchise, which will see several nods to each of the 6 episodes over the adventure. The other is content with a aion kinah in the universe well tied and somewhat repetitive scenario … until the famous final twist!
