Pretty much. Each mission I've played so far (I think I'm on four) has had a checkpoint at some point during the overall mission where, if you die, you can restart from rather than going back to the beginning of the mission. I've tried to finish a mission before stopping the game, but on Tuesday night, I couldn't beat Mai Lei (sp? pronounced melee) and gave up to go to bed. I'm not sure if I'll get to pick it up in the DeathMatch chamber, which is where the checkpoint is, or if I have to start the mansion mission from the beginning again.
EDIT: The chick's name is Mai Hem, not Mai Lei. So it sounds like he's saying mayhem. She's not bad, but those damned stone statues kill me everytime.
