* ShaggyDogStory: The Path of Blood ending. [[spoiler: After everything he went through, Michael reaches a glass elevator at the end of a hallway with spiked walls, only to find out that [[DecoyProtagonist Campbell]] is in it, meaning he can't escape the SpikesOfDoom and dies. Then Campbell, upon reaching the surface, decides to attack Jigsaw, only to be killed by a trap. In other words, one protagonist had to die so the other could live, and the surviving protagonist died almost immediately after.]]

''Unlike'' the second movie, actually cutting out the eye isn't necessary - Campbell just needs to cut the stitches ''under'' his eye to get the key out.

* WhyAmITicking: Michael has to put on a metallic vest with shotgun shells on the back primed to fire. There are several points during the game where there are machines that interact with the vest. If you get too close to them, the vest will start beeping, and if you fail to solve a puzzle and shut down the machine quick enough, then the shells will fire directly into your back, killing you instantly.

Like the previous game, the story takes place [[{{Interquel}} between]] two movies; ''Film/SawII'' and ''Film/SawIII''. This time around we follow Michael Tapp, son of the last game's protagonist, who in his search for his father ends up in a lethal game of Jigsaw's.
!!This game has examples of:
* BigFirstChoice: A decision made early in the game determines who survives at the end.
* DecoyProtagonist: The first level has you play as a character named Campbell. After the first level, however, your perspective switches to Michael Tapp, the son of David Tapp (the protagonist from the first ''Saw'' video game, and the cop from the first movie) for the rest of the game.
* EverythingTryingToKillYou: The occupants of Jigsaw's game are supposedly all criminals that Michael Tapp's father had put in jail, and therefore don't like you very much.
* FirstPersonGhost: There is a brief first person section near the beginning which utilizes this technique. Also when interacting with puzzles and traps, your view switches to a first person perspective. While in this perspective you don't see your body interacting with the pieces of the puzzle.
* ForegoneConclusion: Much like the first game, we all know Jigsaw will still be at large by the end.
* MultipleEndings: The game has two endings, depending on [[spoiler:whether or not DecoyProtagonist Campbell survives his final test]].
** [[spoiler:If Campbell makes it through the SpikesOfDoom and enters the elevator, he shows up at the end when Michael makes it to the end of his own SpikesOfDoom room, preventing Michael's escape and ensuring his death (since the elevator is occupied and cannot be opened). Jigsaw then congratulates Campbell, tells him that his son is fine (he claimed to have kidnapped him earlier) and allows him to leave. Campbell, traumatized by everything he went through, tries to attack Jigsaw - and falls prey to a trap.]]
** [[spoiler:If Campbell dies, he's obviously not in the elevator, thus allowing Michael to enter the elevator and escape. At the end of his ride, Jigsaw presents him with two doors, just like Tapp was shown. One door has the evidence Michael needs to put Jigsaw away for good, while the other has the pigman costume - implying that Jigsaw is offering Michael a chance to become his apprentice.

* SpikesOfDoom: Used several times.
* TheWallsAreClosingIn: Used a lot, adding spikes into the mix.
