How many of you have got a game that you thought would be a challenge but not too hard to complete and then given up on a game a few weeks later and wasted 40 quid!!

I think that in reviews they should put a difficulty level along with the rating or mention which parts could be extremely hard!!

Not just what its about.

All my games stand completed -excpet Banjo_kazooie - No, it wasn't too hard, I just thought it was crap, so after spending 40 quid, and playing on it for 2 hours, I left it in a draw - it has not come out since!

I've still not finished Turok!
I got this game shortly after I got my N64.

Although, I've not given up yet....

Yeah, I love games that produce you with a challenge. Back in the day, I used to find Tomb Raider 2 quite good because it kept me entertained for hours on end. It took me months to complete, but when I did manage to complete it, oh what a wonderful felling it was!

I like games that when you complete you actually are pleased that you stuck with it and not give up. On the other hands, there are games that have a very poor ending and you don’t feel like you have accomplished much at all.

Games like Goldeneye were brilliant because you had to complete certain levels in a certain amount of time to get cheats. That is much better than just getting them off the Internet. If you cheat on a game, you feel like you cheated yourself. I don’t think I have ever quit on a game because if I did I knew that I would have just blown away 40 quid.

Getting back tow hen you complete a game. It is the best feeling in the world (apart from sex and the last chunk of chocolate) to complete a game because you have beaten the game company’s challenge.

It’s also nice to have a game where if you complete it, you fell as if you want to complete it again.

I try not to do that but I tried for nearly half a year at this one level, because I hate giving up, and hate admitting defeat!!

I like games to present a challenge, I hate walkthroughs!!!
and I think that this is the difference between 'Hardcore' and 'casual' gamers.

The Hardcore gamer will stick at it and get it done however long it takes!!!

The casual gamer will get stuck and then allow the game to collect dust!

are you getting this Pagey?

I like games that give you a challenge like Conker's BFD in parts and Zelda MM but games that are impossible or you get so far then you try and try and try but can't get any further.

That happened to me on Super Mario 64 aND THE last level of Goldeneye on 00agent I stopped trying to complete it.

Any games that you need help with!!

I like games that are tough.

Ok, Tomb Raider series got on my nerves for being stupid hard, but the rest were ok
