Some games are frustratingly difficult. San Andreas is one of them.
As big of a fan of the Grand Theft Auto series as I am, I must confess that never got much into San Andreas. Even the early missions were rather difficult compared to the other games and I just got tired of them.
Then when my PlayStation 2 was stolen with the memory card in it, I never started it up again.
Well, not quite never, recently I've decided to give it another shot. I'm aware that this game has some really cool elements: a bigger environment than any of the previous installments, airplane missions and other awesome stuff, but it remains an exercise in frustration.
Which leaves me wondering, for the controversy this game created, I'm wondering how many minors would actually have the patience to play it for longer than five minutes.
Right now I'm stuck having to race low-riders and can't advance the game until I do it, but GTA:SA's driving mechanics are some of the most annoying I've ever encountered. I'd go so far as I say it's worse than playing Forza Motorsport with "realistic damage modeling" turned on. One little bump, the car spins out and you've gone from first place the last, blech.
So lets open up the discussion: What game frustrates YOU beyond belief?
