    Probably kind of like Lost. Show is great but game sucks.

    I've never understood the appeal of gore fest scary movies like Saw. However, oddly enough I think it would fit better as a game. I'll be watching this one.

    I feel that this game will not be able to do well. Almost many games that comes out with the movie fails. But Xmen origins Wolverine is a different as seeen in trailers.

    isn't it the same for games made into movies? Super Mario wasn't too shabby though.

    The first 2 resident evils were pretty good, made a decent tie into the video game... the 3rd one was crap though.

    I don't care much for hack and slash gore movies either. But someone with similar tastes in movies as myself recommend Saw. I was skeptical about it at first. I just thought it was another horror scarefest. But it actually has a pretty decent plot and story. Ok, it's kind of a thin story, but the idea behind it is interesting. Really kind of cool if you watch all of them how they tie together.

    I was talking about the movies, actually. I've liked all the mainstream games to date (1-4, haven't played 5).

    But Saw was done in Part 3. It is just being pulled like a chewing gum.
    Also I like hostel than Saw.

    Yeah, ok, I agree. Saw 3 should have been the end, and left it at that. Now it just keeps grinding.

    Doesn't look to great. Mostly likely an decent rental. I hope it has alot of gore, cause that's what SAW is all about.




    Silent Hill was another good movie that came from the game.

    Yes,it gonna have less audience. Also, in the game, the developer describes that it is very graphic so it will surely be a flop.
    Just want to try Xmen Origins.

    I'd need to see some more of it, possibly play a demo before deciding on a purchase for this game.

    I want to see what they mean by combat, since I don't recall saw ever having any. This isn't an action movie after all, it's just suspense. The game might not be half bad if the puzzles are actually complicated enough. If your basically told exactly where to go, and what to do though then it's going to be quite stupid. I can see how they can make some interesting logic puzzles out of some contraptions you'll need to get past.
