Naughty Mugwum. Shame on you.</i> Bearing in mind he wrote the Eurogamer review I'm guessing he might have actually been playing using debug code on a debug console? Debug 360s don’t run retail discs.

Naughty Mugwum. Shame on you.

Only "crash" I've had was when I got stuck against a counter in Cluckin' Bell, unable to move or get served, and had to reload a save, and I couldn't replicate it.

PS3 users report that reinstalling their HDD clears the problem. Sounds like overkill, a reinstall of just the game files should be enough. A bit more reading suggests it’s a cache problem.
