how u save mafia 2 for xbox 360?

When someone wants to save mafia 2 manualy, (as this CAN be done) go to the pause menue, and select Quit!. the prompt will say all un saved progress will be lost. hit the a button and youre game is saved. i found this out quite accidentily.

It has an autosave feature

when I quit and it saves when i click continue story it starts me at the beginning of the chapter.

When I did this, it did not save. Nor did it say "Continue Chapter"

You can't save the game by yourself, it saves it for you during and after the missions.

The game can't be saved by menu it will only save wile going through missions I go to chapter 11 and start the mission and during chapter 11 there will be black screens where it loads and saves this is how it works..

Go to any of the safe houses that you own (and that are marked on the map) and enter the bedroom. The save game icon is located near the foot of the bed - just walk into the icon to initiate a game save.
