10 Simple Video Games That Are Too Brutal To Master

2. Guitar Hero

Anyone can pick up and play Guitar Hero; your little sister can play it, and so can your grandfather, but only on easy mode, maybe medium. In order to play the game on anything above medium, you€™re going to need to practice, and spend weeks of your life honing your strumming abilities (calm down).

It is doable though, and many people can play the game quite efficiently, even on the highest difficulty setting. Of course, there€™s playing Guitar Hero on Expert, and then there€™s playing €˜Through the Fire and Flames€™ on Expert, which is a whole different story entirely.

On the Xbox 360 version of the game, players receive the €˜Inhuman€™ achievement for beating the song on Expert. As a testament to how truly impossible the game is to completely master, only an estimated 7% of players have managed to unlock it.

So, while yes, anyone can play Guitar Hero, only around 7% can say they've truly mastered it.
