Area 51 - Save Anywhere?

One thing that turned me off from the demo is that it doesn't have the
ability to save the game. Is this true of the actual game?

I don't believe so. Don't bother with the game. It isn't worth the time.

I didn't care for the A51 demo, it just seemed like a generic shooter
to me. I'm probably not the demographic they were aiming for, though,
the FPS games I really enjoyed were RPG hybrids like Deus Ex and System
Shock 2.

The saves are auto and save points but they happen often

I play most FPS, MOH, COD, HL2 (and 1 still), Far Cry, Doom 3 etc etc.
Found the demo boring and something I'd expect to see on a PS2
graphics-wise.

Why are you always insulting me? It makes me sad. :-( I just want to be your
friend.

The internet is sometimes referred to as a community, and I guess in
steamkiller it has found it's village idiot. He reminds me of the
semi-coherent crazy homeless you see on the street warning people about
aliens infiltrating the government.

So you can quit the game at a checkpoint and when you return to the
game you start at that checkpoint rather than the beginning of the
level? That's all I'm asking for. In the demo you can NOT do this.
