I feel like this is most single player FPS games these days is it not? I mean a lot of folks simply reply their checkpoint over and over again until they get the right combination or path to move further.

I guess the big difference would be you start all the way from the beginning, or at least the beginning of where the gameplay starts, to make dying a more serious thing instead of just "Oops, I died. Oh well, I had a checkpoint like a minute ago, I'll just be a little bit more careful." The only problem then is that you either can't make the game long enough because it has to be continuous or you make separate missions that are a lot longer, but that kind of defeats the purpose of the original idea.

Halo 2 - Legendary Reset you back to the level start :D A lot of games offer "Iron Mode" which puts you back to the start when dead. I think really the movie was a representation of a game in itself, in my eyes.
