10 Annoying Video Game Moments That Made You Turn The Console Off

6. Following The Blood In Max Payne

Notoriously considered one of the most frustrating video game levels of all time, the uniquely nightmarish aesthetic of this creative sequence from the original Max Payne wasn't enough to save it from being a complete misery to play.

Taking place within Max's subconscious as he remembers the night his family was killed, the player is made to follow a series of blood-trails in an otherwise pitch-black environment.

Not only is it confusing to understand where you're heading as you try to get from one end of the level to another, but taking a wrong turn and following the wrong trail could lead to you falling to your death thanks to some insidiously placed traps.

The scene is unnerving for sure, but it's horrifying for all the wrong reasons.
