I'm playing SR1 and I'm not impressed with the experience so far.

Each time I reload the game, I start in the spirit world at the starting location and need to do the entire training course again just to make my way to the physical world and then need to walk all the way back to where I was at the level (with the baddies respawning).

There seems to be a lot of pointless repetition in this game. Talk about a waste of time.
