10 Video Game Chase Sequences That Made You Rage Quit

The follow-up to adored platformer Jak & Daxter, Jak II: Renegade was a different kind of beast.

Beginning with Jak and friends being sucked into a dystopian world before Jak is imprisoned and tortured, this sequel's tone was much darker than its predecessor. Likewise, this game has garnered a reputation for its fiendish difficulty, and it doesn’t take long for the tougher challenge to become evident.

Only a few missions after the exhilarating prison escape at the start of the game, the dynamic duo are tasked with entering a fortress to destroy an ammo cache. Defending the fortress is a security tank, which will chase the heroes at points during this level.

Quickly running through a series of narrow and twisting pathways littered with bottomless pits is already a difficult enough task, but what makes this encounter especially horrendous is that players must also execute tricky manoeuvres to avoid gunfire from the tank’s turret.

Coming at such an early point in the game, players won’t have a firm enough grasp on the controls to make the difficult jumps that lie between them and success. Players consequently had to learn fast to avoid falling into this level's many pits.

This level was trial by fire in the least fun way.
