Main Menu: Save/Load
Save/Load Screen
On the Save/Load screen, you can load a game that you saved midlevel as well as save and load games to different names.
Saving and loading games midlevel is advantageous when a mission is particularly difficult or long. Saving and loading games to different names is advantageous, for example, when you want to follow one pathway through the game as one user and then another pathway through the game as another user, or when more than one person is playing on the same computer.

Multitude of Pathways
You can play through all mission levels to reach the last level of the game, or you can bypass certain levels and reach the last level in a more direct manner. Your choice as to which level you choose to play affects the branching sequence of later levels. At times you may reach a standstill, finding it impossible to defeat your enemies along the pathway you've chosen. In this situation, you may have to replay an earlier level in order to acquire technology upgrades and enhance your vehicles.
