Saw for xbox 360

[stormr]

I just picked this game up the other day, although it has been out for awhile now. I'd have to say its not too bad for a game based on a movie franchise, fortunatly the storyline takes place after part 2 and before part 3 so it is original. graphics arent bad either, although it does basically use the same traps from the movies mainly the exploding head gear jaw trap. but fun none the less. I havent finished the game yet either so there may be a bit more traps and maybe some new ones too. Only downside really is the usual gameplay that you can only go certain places, and you have to do what the story makes you or you basically will die, but thats always interesting too. So basically this is more of a personal review of the game, but Id suggest any saw fans should pick it up, its not for everyone, and I really dont think its worth $60 to buy, but $40 would be a very reqasonable price, although like what usually happens when I buy a game, the price will probably drop to $40 or less now that I finally shelled out the full price. Anyone whos been thinking about getting this game, I hope my little review helps you decide.

thanks for the review stormr, how's the gameplay itself? I'm not all that interested in buying the game but curious how exactly it plays.

gameplay is pretty smooth, great blood graphics, good controls, use one stick for camera movement and other for character movement, much like gears of war controls. however I have some issues with the fighting controls as in if your too close to an attacker they pretty much beat you to death and I cant seem to fight back well, although if you stand back a little you can often kill them with one hit. Also I forgot to mention before that there are many other trapped in the building with you, and they all are in a trap as well, and the character you play has something that the others need to survive so you run across these guys once in a while and you can pick up weapons to fight with (baseball bat, lead pipe, scalpal etc..)
