Hijacked the Wraiths. =D
wraith>>>>>scorpion
you cigarettes and your direct fire can't hit me behind this rock, but I can rain death on you from the skies

"HEY GO KILL 10 OF THESE"
"that's it? I just go kill them?"
"YUP. FUN, HUH?"

that's all
because i'm too cool to complain~

I love how Star Wars Battlefront II's challenges are generally,

"Go to this area and fight through an infinite number of soldiers while you only have 20."

1. Checkpoint races (forget me, I missed the last checkpoint)
2. Perform an action x times in y minutes (speaks for itself)
3. When the game makes me do something that I have no idea how to do (specifically, in Red Dead Redemption when I have to play a hand of poker to advance in the game, or being made to play a round of CTF in Assassin's Creed II)

EDIT: Oh it was FIVE, not THREE. Right.
4. Timed target practice (like the Westcliff Shooting Range in Fable II)
5. Kill this guy before he reaches his mark (Grand Theft Auto IV is laced with these)

"Go to this area and fight through an infinite number of soldiers while you only have 20."
loving this. One of the few reasons why i hated the SWB II campain, The enemy gets as many troops as they want awhile you have only like 30.

I don't know about top 5, but I loving hate the demon Ulkair in Dawn of War II: Chaos Rising.  loving nurgle lard-ass bitchdemon.

You have to either minimize your allies' losses by fighting with him and not killing Ulkair (while Ulkair gains more health for every one of your ally dead) or face gaining corruption (Evil points which decide whether or not you are good or evil) by issuing a "Fall back!" order like you do in any other mission normally.

1. Walking through the desert unharmed in Terraria.

5. Halo 3: Trying to get Vidmaster annual, holy stuff that took 17 times and we did it with 5 people. FFFFFF THE PLATFORM IS GOING DOWN
4.  L4D2: Hard rain, solo, realisitic, On Extreme :(
3.  LOZ Four swords adventure: loving GIANT BIRD STOP KILLING ME AND NOT MY FRIENDS
2.   Homefront: The fire sale level in the burning warehouse. The chopper kept landing on me :(
1.   Blockland: Why the crap can't I build?  1 is actually playing with a valve member on arena in TF2 :(

True Crime: Streets of LA : There is a episode where you must drive to a long distance in due time, the time to reach is not variable, and the car you get is the car you last entered, there's a good chance the car you last entered is a normal car, not your beautiful car in the garage which has some speed. In other words, I played over 20 times the same level with a slow car, the last try resulted in 7 seconds left, which is a miracle. (plus, around 7 tries resulted in -1 seconds left, which means I had the marker right in front of me when the time ran out.)

IWBTG (Or IWBTB) : http://kayin.pyoko.org/iwbtg/ss/ohmysweetgod.png AREYOUlovingKIDDINGWITHMETHIS ENTIREGAMEISANNOYINGEVENONEAS IESTDIFFICUTLY

Minecraft : Get stuck in a huge cave with no pickaxes or torches left, but with a stuff ton of good resources.

QWOP: Do I even need to say?

SPORE : Reaching the center of the galaxy, harder the more you play, but repetitive in short time.


1. Stronghold 1: I can't attack with this force! Mission 15
2. Stronghold 2: "Take these laddermen." What that's it? Chapter 3
3. Sonic Adventure 2 battle: This place is so confusing. D:
4. Blockland: Snipers at close range.
5. Battlefield 2: ARTILLERY IN YOUR AREA.

Water levels, *shudder*

1. Pikmin 2 - Submerged castle - "Ok this should be fun, only blue pikmin, fiery Blublax over there, yup this should be fun" *X amount of time later* "Hopefully this is the last treasure, I've been here a little too long" *Waterwraith* "OH GOD WHAT THE forget IS THAT, WHY IS IT CRUSHING MY PIKMIN!"

2. Any boss battle with a time limit - Do I need to explain this? Most timed boss fights end up being insanely difficult.

3. Super Mario Galaxy - Bouldergeist daredevil run - 1 HP in a boss fight that can take awhile, need I say more?

4. Psychonauts - Meat Circus level - Defend the brat trying to catch a bunny, outrun the rising water through a series of difficult platforming segments while your father throws flaming maces at you, and three boss fights.

5. Super Meat Boy - Everything

Just list your 5 least favorite game challenges.

5. Halo 3, Tsavo Highway. The only reason this is here is because Every time ive played all my teammates die as I get to the brute fortress or because a checkpoint loads as I am 2 inches from a wraith mortar. Yes Im not super good, im somewhat good, but I still win usually.

4. Survival mode, last stage (Mystic Heroes). Once again, this is mostly due to skill level and having no teammates with about 6 bosses each stage with little/no pots which have a 50-50 chance of giving me a small amount of health.

3. The water temple, LoZ Ocarine of Time. Its a multilayered, complicated, bugged and frustrating level. Having to go to the 3rd page of the INV every time you want to switch your iron boots on/off (Very frequently and the INV reverts to page one every time it is closed). I still haven't passed it and by association I have come to hate Ocarina of Time, sadly.

2. The final boss, first stage (Sonic Heroes). Its hard, has cheap attacks, sometiems clunky controls, and is not fun.

1. Pool of tricks, Skate 3. What? Skate 3 on number one? But pool of tricks is so easy! You just handplant the chair, gap it, do a 2,500 point trick,  do a one foot trick, grind above the light, get on the roof, transfer from point A to point B in one jump, tweak a 540 degrees grab, and then do a 720 spin! Too bad its almost impossible to not run out of time while doing this, That, and I've never been able to handplant the roof. Its spent about 15 tries on this stage, which it should've taken me 2! The only reason besides these is that everything is a piece of cake before It slams you across the face with this. If you feel the need to tell me you got this on your first try, im afraid your going to die, and im afraid im going to have to kill you.
Just saying if you hold the block button and then the magic button in Mystic Heroes you start healing yourself. Or maybe that just regenerates mana

Water levels, *shudder*
Water levels were intense not scary

imo

Eye of the Beholder on Gameboy Advance.

'nuff said.
