I wanted to go back and right another review of this game. I wrote one once upon a time and gamespot deleted it and sent me a warning for some reason. So this time I'll be nice. Honest, but nice. It could have been so much better. I get the idea of having save points. The makers of the game are trying to enhance the thrill and suspence and survial aspect of the game by not allowing the player to exit and save the game at any point. Game creators hear this: if you are going to have save points in your game, then DO NOT make them impossible to reach. Make it to where the average gamer can try a few times and make it. Sad thing is that if this game had the ability to exit and save, I'd be giving it a ten. It was a lot of fun with the run and shoot that it did so very well. However, I could not finish it, because I was not good enough to get through the levels to the various save points. I will also not readily by a game like this in the future if I find out that it has save points. I was so very mad that I spent the money and could not finish because I was not a good enough gamer to do it. That ruined the whole thing for me and I have to give it a 1.2.
