Warning on XBox 360 - Game Freezes

No Worries... No Spoilers...

Buy this game and you may get stuck unable to see the ending.

As of this writing this is not yet patched.  I am unable to proceed further in the game at what might be the final boss battle.  When I die, an attempt to reload from checkpoint freezes everytime.  Even after restarting the console the game continues to freeze leaving you no choice but to replay the chapter at which point I die and the cycle repeats.

This also happened in a mid-game chapter which I find very frustrating.  

There seems to be little support from develolper 4A Games.
