10 Notoriously Difficult Levels In Video Games

5. The Tutorial - Driver

Now, what makes this entry special is the fact that the most notoriously difficult level isn't near the end, it's smack damn right at the beginning. Being the tutorial of the game, you'd expect it to softly integrate mechanics into a fluid learning experience so that players can get a grip on the game itself, right?

Nope!

You have to practically master every single driving manoeuvre the game offers and display them flawlessly, whilst also being on a time limit - a challenge that players often never complete, and are thus locked off from the entirety of the game.

As you can expect, the tutorial became wildfire and is now infamous for being one of the steepest entry points into any game across gaming history.

I like video games, writing and writing about video games. Expect sarcasm and the dry wit of a Brit. And the occasional rant of a unhappy Scot. You know... the usual.
