Help me please - my playstation crashed during autosaving a game and won't reload it at all - it comes up with the loading screen but when it should say press x to continue the screen just goes blank. Does anyone know how to recover the corrupt save file. I tried to reload the level but it said all progress will be lost and I dont want to risk that if I can recover it at all.

I don't think so.

Restarting the level, is better than restarting from the frst level, right?

When i went to the choose a level option it said all progress will be lost - does it just mean on the level I was playing or would I have to start from the beginning of the game again?

Just the level you were dude, that's for sure.
