Any of the three amazing "Prince of Persia" games. This game--on the surface--has it all: Fantastic story, kinda hot babes (it's a video game that isn't DOA...give it a break), phenomenal platform work, level design that's out of sight, and the fighting...

That's where the train derails and takes out an orphanage in the ensuing chaos. The prince is designed to run across walls, leap from conveniently placed tree branch to tree branch, and swing like a monkey. That's his schtick. The fighting in the game, however, is a major part, and it drives me up the wall. I can handle trying to make the death-defying leap a couple times--reversing time is a breeze, and really helps with that. But to fight more than one creature at a time? Forget about it.

Nothing has frustrated me more than trying to fight through to the next cool puzzle part of the games--all of them (the third being the best, admittedly).
