Hardest game you ever played

[droaa]

Shinobi on the PS2. Imagine the joy 13 year old me had when I finally beat the game after suffering through the final stage. I still have the mental scars of the game to this day.

Medal of Honor Frontline on Hard mode. That difficulty setting will make you tear your hair out. It was grueling to beat

Telly?

Did you beat the PlayStation 2 version on hard mode?
How did you even make it past that one level where the bad guys snipe rockets at you from the summit?  in the center of the level. I mean on my copy of "Medal Of Honor Frontline" for PS2

even on easy

there is a summit like in the center of one level that is nearly impossible to kill the rocket shooting snipers who shoot and hit you from an off screen position, in fact if you don't get to the top of the hill and kill them they keep on hitting you anywhere on that level including hitting you from off screen and completely off your view range.

I climbed the summit but keep taking too much damage trying to get those guys in my view range in order to hit them. They either lay down and hit you with rockets or crouch. and even when I fired at them I still could never kill those guys and have enough health to complete the mission.

It was some kind of depo mission with explosives that go off in the beginning of the level.

can you remember?

Any platformer for me...I am so bad at them!

Also, this. It's sequel Nightshade is a bit less unforgiving, but still tough as well.

Yep. Add this game to my list as well. It was tough as nails, but it's still super fun. The day I beat Shinobi on the highest difficulty level was a damn good day.

Nightshade was cool, too. Since Hibana's life wasn't in danger of getting drained, the sense of urgency wasn't as high.

The controls on PS2 Shinobi make is so worth it, though. There are few games that feel so satisfying to hack-n-slash your way through.

[kashell]

Absolutely. That's one of the reasons I still pop in Shinobi. The controls are responsive and tight, and the challenge is always satisfying to overcome. I play Nightshade less, even though it has more content.

Shinobi also has DAT MUSIC. <3

I do remember that level, after the train car ride right? I think I would go down the cliff to the bunker on the left side and try to pick people off from there and work my way over. I remember it was still tough because of those rocket launching guys on top of those towers after you get on the other side of the cliff.

The hardest level for me was when you had to invade that house since the silenced pistol they give you was a total piece of junk

I did play it on PS2

[Cartagia]

Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles on NES.  And I’m not even referring to the dam level.  I could beat that with my eyes closed as a kid.  The rest of the game is a much, much bigger nightmare.  To this day it’s the only game I’ve tried to beat and just couldn’t.

Thanks for the tips Telly Yea that mission you remembered correctly

Yea I managed to make it past the house with all the clocks (on easy) and the rest of the game. But when the game came to the depo, with the snipers with rockets shooting me from off the playview  I just quit because.

I thought the game was being vary cheap, blurring the screen in all so I could not see or hit the snipers who kept hitting me from the mountain from a distance, off viewpoint
