Fun while it lasted.

Good game, but dismal save system. I fully trusted the auto checkpoint system. After playing for a while (80% of game) I quit the game. Then when I restarted the game, I must have accidentally pressed new game (instead of continue) and it deleted all my previous checkpoints .... no warning!!!

I was shocked to notice how easy it was to do what I did. The designers have done a boneheaded move of putting the new game (instead of continue) button as the 1st option when you start the game. And to make things worse, it didn't even warn me that I would delete all my previous checkpoints and bonuses!

I was a fun game while I played it. But for a game where you cannot skip past any cutscenes and have to go over all the boring and pointless quicktime events again, there is no way in hell I am starting over. Glad I rented it. Back it goes.
