Saw (by stoeen and dominik): My First Review (SPOILERS)

Archive: 18 posts


Well, this is my first review, and I really haven't read any other reviews, so sorry if it isnt good.
--

Saw is a level by stoeen and his friend, dominik. It is probably the best (and one of the few good) Saw levels out there. With the fact that you only have 1 life, and everything seems to want to kill you, it sets a great mood.

INTRODUCTION
The introduction of this level is the best part of it. You drive to your apartment, and then go to bed. You then have a scene of you looking around, and that PIG thing jumps in your face. Scared the crap outta me the first time I saw it, and I always jump when I see it after that.

And to top it off, theres a Saw logo painted in blood, with Hello Zepp playing. Amazing.

I give it a 10/10

GAMEPLAY
You have 3 puzzles, all rather hard. In the first one, you are told to watch your step. You can EASILY die here, and it got me once or twice. The second puzzle is WAY harder. First, your told to use your popit. This is rather easy, and youll have the first number to the code in seconds. The second number can easily be missed, but the THIRD number. Luckily I was with a friend at the time and he managed to spot it. Phew. The third test is near impossible without the hint in the description. I like it though.

However, it can be frustrating at times when you don't know what your doing and end up having to do the WHOLE LEVEL again.

I give it a 8.7/10.

DESIGN
The design, is also fairly good. The words painted in blood, the radio, etc. It helps make the game that much more awesome

I give it a 9.3/10.

MOOD
The mood is AMAZING. Watching other people fail their games makes you feel like you have to be careful with your own. Very nice, but could be improved.

I give it a 9/10.

OVERALL
The game was AWEWSOME, and I love to replay it. Its also fun to bring your friends who have never played it before, and watch them get confused and die.

Overall, the average score for this level is 9.25/10. I highly recommend playing it, since good horror levels are rare.

@ Reaver: Yep, u have to count the letters. I know its difficult but I hadnt got any other ideas for the last one. Normally I didnt want to make that last part, it should just end there .

Im 70 % done with SAW2 but I dont know if it?ll be as good as the first level. Its also not realy scary so far but maybe Ill add something scary in SAW 2... Just check out my levels this month. I think I?ll finish it this month or the first week of May

Well, heres my advice to make it more scary:

Dark rooms
Creepy music
Sudden appearances (like the pig in the first SAW, scared the poop outta me)
Strict time limits to make you think fast
Creepy sound effects

lol, hi Stoeen .

I think the most of you already noticed that theres still no SAW 2 level. Well, it was 80 % done but then my PS3 got the YLOD and I couldnt continue (It could be done already but the stxxxx error... -.-). Ill have to send the ps3 to an expert, who can fix it without deleting all the savegames. I think SAW 2 will be published next month.
