10 Video Game Chase Sequences That Made You Rage Quit

10. Batman: Arkham Knight (2015) - The Excavator

Despite having the slickest combat in the series and giving players a large and detailed Gotham City to explore, Arkham Knight disappointingly fell short of being the bombastic conclusion to the trilogy that fans were hoping for. Alongside a predicable plot, this game was also let down by the overuse of the Batmobile.

As unenjoyable as the Batmobile’s combat and puzzle sections were, a more frustrating moment came when Batman entered a tunnel system in search of the eponymous villain.

After the Arkham Knight ambushes the caped crusader in a heavily armoured excavator, players must speed through the network of passageways and defeat their pursuer by luring them into planted explosives.

Driving along the tunnel’s walls at high speed may make for an impressive looking set piece, however the Batmobile’s squirrely controls quickly turn this section into a tedious frustration.

It becomes all-too easy to lose control of the vehicle after crashing into the many obstacles that litter the tunnels. Navigation likewise isn’t made any easier with the constant explosions making it difficult to see what’s ahead.

When one minor slip-up can result in instant failure, this boss fight is another reason as to why the Batmobile was such an unpopular addition to this game.
