15 Video Games That REWARD YOU For Playing Badly

11. Guitar Hero 2

In 2005, Harmonix stumbled upon a gold mine with a new gap in the market- people who couldn't really play the guitar, but didn't mind mashing buttons on a plastic alternative to make them feel like a rock legend.

Cue the dawning of a new wave of console peripherals soon to fill the homes of many a gamer, now gathering dust in attics or charity shops.

Guitar Hero successfully spawned a number of sequels and rival titles, but it is Guitar Hero 2 that gave the biggest withering, patronising smile to the crappest of us.

Easy mode was not particularly tricky, hence the name. However, should a player still manage to fail the song by not hitting the dramatically reduced number of notes in time, they'll be rewarded with an achievement.

"The Long Road Ahead" grants the wannabe hero 10 gamerscore, but more importantly a reminder- if you got this naturally, you have a long climb ahead of you.

And until you "git gud", don't even think of touching Guitar Hero 3's Through the Fire and Flames, unless you don't mind losing your sanity.

I'm perfectly sane, or so the voices tell me. British, sarcastic, president of the European Slinky Association, have a tendency to lie when listing things about myself. 100% guilty of being a massive geek obsessed with Doctor Who, Harry Potter and video games. If you can't find me on the internet, I'm probably locked in a room playing Spyro the Dragon on my old PlayStation, or blowing everything to smithereens with a concrete donkey on Worms: Armageddon.
