Most Frustrating Game - PSP-Forum.com

So people, what was the most frustrating game you've ever played? What was that one game that made you want to shoot something with a comically oversized gun?

For me it would have to be Need For Speed: Underground on the PS2. One of the races near the end of the game was a 9 lap race around a really tight and twisty circuit. The CPU cars where actually faster than mine so I had to make up time on the corners.
If you did ONE thing wrong then you would loose the lead and thus the race. So many times I'd be first on the last lap and not that far before the finish line I'd take a corner too wide or too slow or clip something and 'woosh' - The other cars pass me.
It used to frustrate me so much that I would flick the PS2 on - load up the game - start racing - something trivial would cause me to loose - I'd put the PS2 off and walk away for fear of smashing it.

I've never had any problems with racing games. The game the frustrated me was Ninja Gaiden for Xbox. Hard game. Splinter Cell (the first one) made me angry, too. I don't have the patience for that game. Those are the only two I can think of.

For me, probably GTA:VC for Xbox...

For me, I think it was Mega Man, I'm not sure, it was some game for the GBA, I got so ****ed off at it that I threw my GBA at the wall and stomped on it, lmao, than it broke, but than I got a GBASP, so it all worked out, lol.

cant remember the most frustrating game, but the most frustrating thing I did was on Donkey Kong Country for the GameBoy, I was on the last level of the game and when starting the game up, I hit delete game instead of open, just like a fool! Cried myself to sleep! (I was only young).

One game I'm frustrated with now is Toca2 on the PSP, easy to win once you get to the front of the pack, but getting there is so hard, all the other cars ram you and such!

I know what you mean, I have RD2 for the PC (wheel and pedals ftw!) It can be so damn frustrating at times trying to get to the front of the pack

The Last V8 on the Commodore 64. A very old Codemasters game and one of the most red mist inducing pieces of code ever written. When I was about 14 I must have spent days playing this - my trusty C64 was in danger for every second of it.

What was so hard to understand?

The Last V8 = a game
Commodore 64 was a home computer released in the early 80's edit: read this http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Commodore_64
Codemasters = A video game developer (the people who make the TOCA series)
Red Mist = Anger, people say red mist as in anger clouding over hense, Red Mist as red signifies an angry emotion
C64 = Commodore 64

Anything I missed? It all seems pretty straight forward to me..
