Now that's more like it! Manages to be totally different from the first and I like this formula better. Starts with a killer opening sequence. More characters, more games, more kills and more Tobin Bell as Jigsaw. We get to know him and his twisted ideals a lot more. The whole cancer backstory was compelling and loved the interactions he had with the detective. I find this entry far more captivating, fun and better paced than the first, there's no time to get bored. Awesome kills and gore and those needles... the freakin' needles! Easily one of the most terrifying gross scenes of the franchise. The decision making from the characters is my biggest criticism, it's jarring. Unlike the first, there isn't much backstory for the characters unfortunately. I liked the twist this time even though it's very simple.

**Traps Ranked** (worst way to die order):

[spoiler]1. *Needle Pit* - needles are a no no! Beats burning alive I think. Plus you get a bunch of nasty stuff in your blood
2. *The Furnace* - burning alive is still one of the worst ever
3. *Venus Fly Trap* - that's gotta hurt like hell for a few seconds but the eye part was worse for me
4. *Nerve Gas* - a slow death but I don't think it hurts as much as other traps
5. *Magnum Eyehole* - at least you die instantly
6. *Antidote Saferoom* - you die instantly
7. *Razor Box* - as long as you don't put BOTH hands in, you should get out no problem[/spoiler]
