It’s easy to join the hate train when it comes to Saw. Yes they come out with one every year, but I’ll watch anything Charlie Clouser does the score to. And when it comes to the hatred of Saw, does anyone that dislike the movies actually keep watching them? You either like to watch people get ripped part or not.

At any rate, if you had no idea the movies existed and saw this as a stand alone game, you might actually be intrigued. There’s all this Resident Evil 5 hype that’s more of an action game than anything. The Saw game seems to take the genre back to roots in at least the aspect of creating an atmosphere or sense of tension like early RE, Clock Tower and Silent Hill. I could be wrong, but to hastily smash these developers for what might have potential is irrational when compared to some of the sins esteemed publishers commit, not to mention are forgiven for.
