Well considering the game really does get hard towards the later stages around 60 I believe.When every shot has to be right on or you lose it does get pretty stressful. And once you reach the stage where the ducks turn invisible on you just put down the Zapper and go home. Duck Hunt is my vote for hardest game as well.
Is that stuff really true or are you f'ing with us?
It's definitly Battleship for the Game Boy. That game was so hard I never made it past the second level. I played so many times just trying to beat it, but never could. I think the CP cheats because it always knew where I was.
Ninja Gaiden on the NES will make you claw at your eyeballs.GodModeEnabled
I'll take Ninja Gaiden over Ninja Gaiden III any day of the week. Ninja Gaiden was a pain to be sure but at least you got unlimited continues. Ninja Gaiden III gave you 5 continues. After that it was "try again from the beginning, sucker!".
I gotta say, COD3 on veteran just makes you scream. Damn snipers....
That, and it makes me ashamed to say that sometimes, on Destroy All Humans 2, I've failed loads of missions on the first few times, because it just spams you with hundreds of tanks, and sometimes you have to escort people who just insist on running head first into the crossfire, then when you die trying to protect them, or they get a disintigrator through the head, you have to go riiiiight back to the start, no checkpoints. It's not so much hard, just damn annoying....
Dark messiah of might and magic, so many glitches this game was for me impossible to beat, i couldnt get past the 3rd level...the game physically wouldnt let me lol
LOL, I totally agree and I hope you're not joking because I'm not. I must be the worst Pac-Man player in the world or something, I can barely beat the first level if I'm lucky... and I'm usually really good at games.
Great list, I've played many of these and would agree with most of them. Ikaruga and Gradius V are both tough as nails. Take the hardest game you've played (post PS1 anyway) and chances are those two games chew it up and spitit back out again. The games eventually grant unlimited replay, so they might not be the right answer to OP's question because eventually you will get to the ending. But getting to the end isn't the point of those games as much as it is getting a high score. If you think you're good at games -- try beating those two before the unlimited replay happens, or better yet without using a continue. There's probably only a few people in the world that could do the latter.
F-Zero GX is probably the only game I ever stopped playing because of difficulty, esp. the story mode. Then of course there's the old-school arcade quarter munchers like Gauntlet and Robotron 2084.
wasn't there a pirate game of sorts for ps2 that had stupidly hard bosses??? also.. pain in the ass game when i was little, ecco the dolphin, never got past level 2, never will!
i'm sure it's not the hardest but i had trouble playing BIOSHOCK. i still havn't beaten it. its difficult as well as hard to continue playing cuz some parts get way too boring.
Final Fantasy XII was the hardest game I ever played. For me at least. That game took me really long time to beat compared to most other games I played.
