When I was younger and way worse at games the checkpoint-only save system really held me back. It actually works fine for the way this game is built, although still an odd choice. The game is more of an action game than I expected, with over-the-shoulder gunplay. Overall, the enemies are pretty easy even on hard mode. I think the difficulty mainly changes how much damage you take, as enemies go down quick with good accuracy. Very fun to play it now, as I didn't get far at all when it originally was released.
