10 Infuriating Levels That Almost Derailed Great Games

8. Guitar Hero 3: Legends of Rock (360, PS3, Wii) €“ The Devil Battle

http://youtu.be/ShY4K5jgUhM I€™m going to go on record right now and say I€™m a pretty bitchin€™ at Guitar Hero (as much as that makes me sound like a frat boy from the 90€™s). What an amazing concept for a video game; I was hooked from the moment I heard about it and I was there for the original release and for Guitar Hero 2 and I€™ll be there until the bitter end. However, one level sticks out to me as being potentially the most difficult and unbelievably frustrating in the entire series, even for an €˜Expert€™ veteran such as myself. The Devil shows up to represent your final rock off battle in Guitar Hero 3: Legends of Rock. No matter what difficulty you€™ve been playing the game through on, when you reach the final battle with the Devil, you will have your ass handed neatly back to you not once, not twice but many, many times. While I get that the entire point of the game is to crank up the challenge, there€™s still something decidedly cruel about making a final level this difficult.
