Say what?  There is a game save feature, but it is pretty damn silly if you ask 
me.  To save the game you have to quit.  What a bozonic thing to do!  As for
not being able to restart the game where you died, that's EASY!  If he dies or 
the mission is a failure, re-boot!  Hey, it works for me!  ;-)
