i really have no idea how a game can really duplicate the attraction that SAW has (even if they are godawful movies).
The reason SAW is compelling is because the characters are given choices that matter: do something absolutely horrible to yourself, or die. They can't hit reset, and it hurts like hell tearing out your own lecherous eye out to reach a key. In the medium of a video game, you would have absolutely no problem sawing off your foot in exchange for life, and would just keep going. The choices don't matter to you, so you ultimately don't care.
However if they can actually pull it off and somehow make the player care about their character then hey, go for it.

You know how many people there are who kill their teammates for the best weapon (or even just an okay weapon) in co-op? It won't matter.
The only thing that will make this thing even close to the movies is to have new types of controllers that you plug in, like the Hand-Cufftroller and the Hack-Sawtroller. The two people are hand-cuffed together, a timer starts before the controller explodes, and they have to fight over the hack-saw and decide whose hand should be cut off first.

Well, you could only play it once or twice, then you would need a prosthetic hand and it wouldn't be fun at all.
