8 Worst Time Limit Sections In Video Games

8. Demolition Man - Grand Theft Auto: Vice City

Though Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas' hellish RC mission "Supply Lines..." is often held up as the toughest timed mission in the series' history, at least it's entirely optional. 

The same can't be said for Vice City's migraine-inducingly difficult Demolition Man, which requires players to pilot an RC helicopter to pick up four bombs and deliver each to a set point at Avery Carrington's construction site.

A seven-minute time limit might sound like a generous amount to pull this off, but consider that the bombs need to be delivered to different floors on the construction site and you'll also have to contend with Avery's workers trying their damnedest to grab hold of the copter. Add to this the dodgy camera and RC physics and Demolition Man is a recipe for rage-quitting - or in the very least, ditching the main story and just messing around in Vice City's sandbox forever more. 

Thankfully the Definitive Edition re-release of Vice City added 30 seconds to the game timer, which combined with the ability to instantly restart the mission upon failure - rather than having to return to the mission marker - cuts down on a lot of the frustration.

In its original flavour, though, this one was horrid.
