[quote name='Kerig']There are always workarounds to any game save when you want to do a sidesave:
1. Someone earlier mentioned there are two save slots. (not sure on the details yet)
2. If there's an actual save file separate from the game (I don't like when they don't do that, happens frequently with XBLA games) you can copy it to a different storage device for safekeeping.
3. You can try restarting the game and choosing a different storage device for a new playthough.
4. A failsafe method is to use an alternate gamertag.
MROSNWO: You may have to remove your gamertag entirely from your brother's console in order for things to work properly on yours. Is this the first time you've tried doing that since MS changed the way gamertags are downloaded vs. recovered?[/QUOTE]
When I do the "gameshare" thing, I never download or recover it at all. I simply copy the gamertag to a memory card, then plug it in to his system. I buy the game, then copy it back to my system, redownload, and good to go. The only downside, which doesn't bother me, is I have to be connected to Live to play. When it comes to this game in particular, the problem isn't save slots(to which there are 3), it's that the game never auto saves my progress. I select a save slot and storage device and all that, but not once while playing does the autosave icon appear, and since the game doesn't have any kind of manual save feature, my progress is always lost upon death/quit. Like I said, it's a little weird that if this is in fact a way to block "gamesharing", that they still allow you to play the game all the way through. To me, it could very well be a bug, but one that will probably never be fixed, since it's just hampering people who are cheating the system.
