SAVING AND LOADING
A Nintendo GameCube™ Memory Card is required to save or load your game data. Never insert or remove a Memory Card when saving or loading files. Saving a Game
To save your progress, you need a Nintendo GameCube™ Memory Card. Select the New Game option from the Main Menu. You must use the Nintendo GameCube™ Memory Card Slot A to store your saved game. If your Memory Card hasn't been used with Buffy The Vampire Slayer: Chaos Bleeds™ before, you will be asked to create a Game Data file. Select "Yes" to continue or "No" to try a different Memory Card Slot. Press the Control Stick Up or Down, or press the +Control Pad Up or Down, to select one of the three available saved game slots you wish to load. Press the A Button to select it.
Once selected, the game will create a saved file and then start playing Buffy The Vampire Slayer: Chaos Bleeds™. As you proceed through the levels, you will come across continue points. These do not save the game to the Memory Card, but do activate a temporary respawn point. In the event that you fail the mission beyond the continue points, select CONTINUE from the Menu default and you will be brought back to the last continue point instead of restarting from the beginning of the level.
At the end of each level, you will be given the option to save your progress. To save, highlight the Save option and press the A Button to select it. You will then be asked if you wish to overwrite this save file. Select "Yes" and the game will be saved.
Load Game Menu
To load a saved game, you must have a Buffy The Vampire Slayer: Chaos Bleeds™ saved game on your Memory Card.
