This game is not by any means a game that sets new industry standards, but if you are a fan of the movies or the first game, give this one a try. The game play is most comparable to a really easy to use and fluid silent hill game. There are major improvements all across the board from the first game. The combat is much easier, the story is more complex and interesting and the game play is just better all around. Tobin Bell once again does the voice for jigsaw because the game would be a complete failure without him doing it, the graphics aren't really any different from the first game, maybe a little more polished and the same semi-cheesy sound effects are there from the first game along with the score from the movie. Really, one of the only negative things is that some of the puzzles (like in the first game) can be extremely frustrating. Here is the all-in-all, and keep in mind, i'm really comparing this to the first game and i'm also a big fan of the movie series.

game play 9/10

graphics 7/10

story 8/10

sound 8/10

"scare factor" 6/10 (a few "jump out" moments here and there, with some cool gruesome scenes)

overall pretty sweet game 8.5/10 and hope they make more!

I played and beat the first Saw video game, and I was pretty satisfied with the gameplay experience. But it had its flaws, most notably the combat system and sub-par graphics.

Saw II: Flesh and Blood is indeed better than the first, but it also has its flaws.

The games graphics are noticably much more polished and refined from the first, but at the same time they look very similar to the graphics of the first Saw game. A lot of the environment has also improved in terms of looks, as well as the animation of the characters, but the environment can also look extremely fake and boring at times as well. The voice acting is also better, but in some situations it becomes flat and doesn't actually sound right according to the situation that the characters are in.

The gameplay has improved over the first, except the combat system.

For those who are familiar with the combat system of the first game, you will find the newer combat to be very frustrating, as it is based on quick-timing events rather than just outright hitting the foe with a bat or your fists. Once you get close to an attacking enemy, time will slow down and you will have to follow on-screen instructions to take your enemy down. At first it can be hard and frustrating, but you will adapt over time. But honestly, I found the combat system from the first game to be much better.

One of the major improvements of the series is the new designs of the traps and other puzzles that you come across in the game, such as the lock-picking mechanic. The lock-picking mechanic looks more realistic that the previous one, but its too easy to unlock the door. They could have made it more challenging, but I guess this will have to do.

Another improvement that Saw II has is the length of the game. The game is longer than Saw and there are a lot more victims that you must save from Jigsaw's traps to continue. The puzzles in various parts of each level are also more challenging, but not too hard either. The game also has more endings, which is quite pleasing.

But one of the biggest flaws that the game has to offer are the 'games' that you must play to save victims from their traps. The 'games' that you play are EXTREMELY DIFFICULT!! The game (or Jigsaw) doesn't give you very many clues on how to complete them, and you are going to find yourself losing and replaying the same scene over and over and over again for a very long time, which gets incredibly repetitive and boring. And you don't have the option to skip the trap either.

The story can also be rather confusing from time to time, but I will not divulge the story details in this review.

All in all, Saw II: Flesh and Blood is a worthy successor of its predecessor, but it also has more flaws than the first game did.

I liked this new Saw game more than I thought I would. It was a little more challenging than the first and the trophies were a little bit harder to achieve. However it was plagued with numerous issues such as hardlocking or crashing that were really irritating because you're unable save as much as you'd like. Also, it's disappointing that the endings are based off of your choice in the very beginning of the game which makes you play the entire game over from the beginning in order to get a different ending (or you could watch it on youtube I guess). Most likely you'll get the bad ending (like me). It was definitely worth the great price I got it at ($12)!
