What game made you throw your controller at the wall and tear out your hair in frustration?

For me it has to be Contra 4. Still never beat that game on medium... damn ocean level...

Fun, but the camera and cheap bosses made this game pretty rediculous.

The part in Okami (Wii version) where you have to make a bunch of things bloom while the old guy dances around. So freaking dumb how the game randomly doesn't recognize your circles. I don't know if the PS2 version has the same problem though.

I only finished it on the easy and normal difficulties but I thought the bosses were the easiest part

The majority of the stages and bosses were cakewalk, but bosses like Genshin (first and last fight), Alexei and Alizebet (First and last fight) were rediculous.

Well, I'm trying to beat CoD 4 on Veteran right now and I am having a lot of those "Holy ****, I'm going to throw the controller out of the window" moments.

In my opinion, Killzone 2. The demo frustrated the hell out of me when I got to play a few times. I don't want to imagine how the entire game would be.

Well in terms of multiplayer it has to be COD4. So many nade spammers, hidden snipers, glitchers, and martydom noobs makes the online a pain in the ass

Single player wise I'd say MGS4 on the higher difficulties (Big Boss Extreme mode is not for the faint of heart)

I'd have to go with Too Human. Not only because of the incomprehensively stupid design choices, but because at its core TH really was a fantastic game.

Agree with guy who said Mario Kart Wii. Holy crap that computers are annoying. Oh and reason C4 was frustrating was basically because it acts as if space between 2 screens for DS is part of game, so there is a second or 2 until one enemie or bullet goes from one screen to the other. And in water level where you are on a boat or something, all enemies are on bottom screen and you are on top. Great game though, but that annoyed the hell out of me.

Totally agree on this. Besides NG2, I'd list N3, SF4(online laggy mode).

Sonic The Hedgehog. Seriously, people. ArisShadows

It may suck, but it's not the most frustrating game ever made. Just not a lot of fun.

The most frustrating game I've played this gen? Dead or Alive 4 Time Attack mode. WHAT WERE THEY THINKING?

Honourable mention: Super Stardust HD

CoD5 on Vet. I was trying to get the plat. trophy. It wasn't just beating it, it was the fact that when I did, there was some error where from Level 1 to Burn it Out, my data got somehow deleted, so when I beat it I had all the trophies for the levels, but not the gold for beating vet.

This! Easily the most frustrating game in a LONG time. The ammount of things you can get hit by when you are in the first place is not even funny anymore. They've removed everything that was fun with the old Mario Kart game to make it more accessible.

I'd say those weren't the biggest problems with the game, I'd say the freaking rocket spam by enemies was enough to drive me up the effing wall. Not to mention the Devastator moves completely neutered the gameplay.

Probably the most outraged I've been with a game this gen has been with Lost Planet, God damn enemies juggling you on top of ten second -a little exhagerated- animations of you standing back up.

Seriously? The only level I got stuck on was the last level's puzzle with the fire pits. Everything else....I never died once. And no, I'm not being elitest, because I'd get murdered in Gears of War 2 by 12-year-olds, let alone the hardcore players.

Although, Mirrors Edge is up there. I liked it, and it's a great idea, but flawed at times. Bionic Commando's swing mechanism is up there too.

*Gets flame shield* No More Heroes. Really riding on the bike and walking was abysmal. I hate almost all of the side missions to get money and the fighting was kinda repetitive. It doesn't feel like a sandbox game because you couldn't even interact with regular people or do anything that's not a regular or side mission. The only thing I found fun about it was the Last (or second to last) boss fight against your sister (I think that's who she was). Overall it deserved a 6.5 - 7.

lantus

Lost Planet on hard does get pretty annoying. Some of the bosses you really have to be cheap with. The last boss was so unoriginal and lame. A mech? Come on. Then you get to fight him in your own flying mech that has terrible controls. Ugh.

I would add to the list: Condemned 2 on hard. Way too unbalanced, don't even bother.

The Club on harder difficulties. This game will make you swear. I still love it though, totally underrated. One of the best games to have for some quick fun.
