10 Video Games That Should Have Started 10 Minutes Later

5. Driver

GT Interactive

In its time, Driver was regarded as a solid game on the PlayStation. But here we are two decades later and this racer has become known above all else for its gruelling tutorial. In this mode (which is mandatory), you have to perform several manoeuvres in your automobile. After you executed a handbrake, a 360, a slalom (whatever that is), and all the other techniques, you can move on.

There's just one problem. You aren't told how to pull these moves off! Even if you know the controls inside-out, they're not easy to manage. Many players find themselves unable to implement one or two manoeuvres, no matter how much they try, causing them to run out of time before they complete the test.

Oh yeah. That's the other issue. You have a time limit. If you don't carry out all these techniques in the allotted time, you have to start all over again. Considering this tutorial is harder than everything else in the game, save for the last level, it's ridiculous that it's the first thing the player is expected to do.
