Are there any games which you have struggled to get past the opening section/level?

I downloaded the PS1 version of Driver for the PSP today and had a quick blast at lunchtime. It took me a good few shots to get past the first scene where you have to prove your abilities... nothing like easing me in gently.

Ninety Nine Nights... Took me ninety nine nights to get past the first level. I suck at it (Warhunt is good at it I believe).

Nothing particularly springs to mind, although Driver's "aptitude test"-like beginning is a very good shout.

Although I have to admit that some of the beginning stealth sections in Uncharted 2 was probably made slightly more difficult by me than was prehaps necessary.

Until 'Crushing' I didn't realise there were parts that were easier to stealth (aside from the sewer/museum level of course).

I can't think of any 'starter' levels that I have had too much trouble with, I never played Driver so couldn't comment on that.

I can remember that - it was driving around a multi-storey, wasn't it? When I was younger it took me forever to get passed that!

That's right, you are in a car park and have a checklist of moves to pull off in a short time frame with no nice friendly tutorial on how to do it.

As a game it has aged quite well, little rough looking but just as playable.

Someone loaned me a copy of an early Tombraider (think it was the second one) but I always drown before getting the first key. Never played one since :)

Good memories of playing the original Tomb Raider.

We were very young and kept jumping when anything attacked us! One of the World Cup Singing Gorillas (sound activated to sing Ole Ole Ole) ran out of power due to the number of times we shouted in fright...that was over 14 years ago now... time certainly flies!

Which Tomb Raider had that butler in one of the training levels? He was so scary! He followed you round the level, but really slowly. You'd run miles, go get a cup of tea, and he'd be standing right behind you when you came back ! :'(
