10 Bad Video Game Endings That Are Harder To Get Than Good Ones

3. Sophie Turns Into A Zombie - House Of The Dead

Usually finishing a game without relying on continues and extra lives rewards you with the best or true ending. But not in House of the Dead! Here, it's a requirement for getting the worst possible outcome.

The worst ending in the game, where your character's fiancee Sophie is turned into a zombie, is also the hardest thing to unlock in House of the Dead.

One, because like the best ending, it requires you to beat the game without using continues. Two, because you need to earn less than 60,000 score points.

Now, at first glance, it may seem like the bad ending would be easier than the best ending, where you have to earn more than 60,000. However, in reality, 60,000 is an abysmally low score that takes a lot of effort and creative thinking.

You have to play the game bad enough to not earn a lot of points while at the same time doing well enough not to lose any lives and spend your continues. The challenge is a careful balancing act that even a veteran player can struggle with.

And all you get for it is a zombified fianceƩ. Great!
