TYOA: 8 Great Video Games RUINED By Their Final Level

8. The President's Run - Driver

While many will passionately argue that Driver was ruined by its infamously maddening tutorial, if you can power through and figure out how to slalom to the game's satisfaction, the bulk of the experience is an absurdly entertaining vehicular action romp.

But Driver ends up slamming into a brick wall during its very final mission, "The President's Run", where players are tasked with driving the President of the United States to a safehouse while being doggedly pursued by both cops and mobsters.

Above all else, this mission represents a gigantic difficulty spike compared to everything else post-tutorial, made worse by infuriatingly unbalanced, hyper-aggressive enemy AI, unpredictable traffic patterns, tricky weather making handling more difficult, and a lack of checkpoints.

As such it's common for players to fail this mission dozens upon dozens of times, and even if you persevered long enough not to rage quit on the spot, there's a good chance it soured your opinion of the entire game.
