This game has a great story, fantastic graphics and a captivating concept. I love the idea of merging traditional platformer with 3D story-rich. There is however, one MAJOR flaw that has nearly put me off even trying to finish this game. There is no way to actually *save* your game. Instead you are at the mercy of the game's ridiculously spaced out illogical autosave points, which are not even properly indicated when they activate. Apparently the developers think that everyone who plays their games are all day games who never ever have to close their game in between sessions, so be prepared to lose ages worth of work in one go because heaven forbid you have to shut the game down! I read in one of the earlier discussions that the idea of a tradional manual save point was "discussed and dismissed" by the developers, dumb move! If your'e going to force auto-save only then have a LOT of autosave points, I'm losing interest in the story and the concept because I have to keep redoing the same frustrating tasks over and over again every time I launch (and please dont' say I should just leave the game running, that's bad for your machine and I shouldn't have to...manual saves in story/task-risk games are expected features for a reason!)
