10 Most Frustratingly Difficult Video Game Levels Of All-Time

3. Aztec - Goldeneye 007 (N64)

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=D3jwYXeB9rY Goldeneye marks one of the earliest times that a first-person shooter really made sense. Not because we had the movie to work out the plot points for us or anything, but because it showed gamers just how good this genre of video game could be. That's until "Aztec," of course, which has gone down in history as one of the most bizarrely unfair levels ever programmed by a human being - enough, anyway, that fans of the game will shudder at its mere mention, much as a character in Harry Potter will freak out if you say Voldemort. But "Aztec" doesn't play fair from the start: the basic enemies hurt Bond far too much for you to beat this thing on even the easiest difficulty. Then you have to face Jaws, which isn't exactly a walk in the park, which sets off a series of alarms and makes things generally overwhelming. The worst part? If you die, you have to go all the way back to the beginning again. Does anybody want to be Bond this much? I'd rather jump off a dam.
