I never found the checkpoints in either game a problem! I did have an issue with Crack In Time though as had to play through it 4 times to get all the trophies, got all them but challenge mode and hard after first play, 2nd i got challenge, 3rd i completed it after changing the mode to hard but nothing (as nothing stated you had to start a brand new game) so 4th play i got the hard one! Grrr lol
