10 WORST Mini Games Absolutely Crucial To Complete The Game

3. The Racetrack - Mafia

Though the Mafia games are largely focused on cruising around the city and shooting, the fifth level of the first game, "Fairplay," forced players into an horrendous mini-game where they needed to win an extremely challenging race.

The main problem is that the car you're tasked with driving is extremely tough to control while maintaining a high speed, ensuring you're likely to flip over and lose the race dozens of times in a row. Worse still, you can't get past the mini-game unless you place first in the race.

The mission pissed off players enough that 2K eventually issued a patch to lower the difficulty, but by that point many had simply given up and moved on to other games.
