10 ULTRA Hard Video Game Opening Levels That Broke You

10. Stage 1 - Back To The Future Part III

Even for the standards of video game adaptations of classic movies, Back to the Future Part III sure is bad - a listless collection of four glorified mini-games rushed out to capitalise on the movie's success.

And yet it doesn't even have the decency to be a blandly inoffensive cash-in: the first stage, in which you play Doc Brown as he rides a horse to try and rescue his love Clara, is a maddeningly infuriating obstacle course requiring pin-sharp reflexes.

Players are required to shoot incoming birds and projectiles, jump over crevices and barrels, and fend off incoming assailants, with such aggravatingly small reaction windows that you're better off just resorting to rote memorisation of the path through the level.

Though a successful run through the stage only lasts a minute or so, it's much easier said than done. The game never gets this hard again, but it also doesn't really get any better either, so you may as well just stick with the pure fun of the movie instead.
