REVIEW
Campaign Mode game save buggy In campaign mode you do frequent saves so that you don't have to recreate a weeks work of building up your character and crew. Alas, the save routine seems to recreate your position by fast forwarding thru a movie of your entire game from the beginning. The longer your campaign then the longer the restoration time and the more inevitable the game restore process crashes. And if it doesn't will it crash the next time? Total buzz kill.
