10 Hardest Video Game Levels That Required Incredible Skill

7. Dragonforce Through The Fire And Flames (Guitar Hero 3)

There was a common mindset that settled in back when Guitar Hero and Rock Band were the 'in thing'. It stemmed from whenever you'd be enjoying a song, only for a guitar solo or otherwise complicated set of notes to suddenly fill the screen and make you flail around helplessly, trying to keep going as the whole production plinked and plonked itself to death. Thousands of us really put the time and effort into the Guitar Hero series though, to which the final track by guitar-abusers Dragonforce was our own crowning achievement. Playing it on expert level looks like you're being assaulted by a Jackson Pollack painting, but it can be done - albeit with the overall feeling that you've been through a workout on the other side. As much as the series has totally died off it did get plenty of people into the real instrument, and in a bizarre twist any who have made the transition from plastic to rosewood will attest - some songs are actually easier on real guitar than in the game. We're not saying this makes the game harder than learning the instrument, but hey, just remember how proud you were when you finally managed to get comfortable with that orange button.
