7 Video Games That Are BEST On The Hardest Difficulty

To say that I was obsessed with Guitar Hero and Rock Band when they first came out is like saying that Motorhead was a little bit loud aka a massive understatement.

In fact, if I'm coming to terms with myself then I would wager I would have walked out of my first and second years at University with much higher scores had these games not existed as I spent so much time with both franchises I'd end up tapping drum patterns during my lectures.

And remember, I don't play drums.

However one of the lessons I learned quickly about these titles is that playing on anything less than Expert Mode well and truly sucked. Now, this isn't a slight at those who enjoy playing on lower difficulties, but seeing as I'd memorized each and every song on pretty much every title's playlist, attempting to complete a board with fewer notes than that being played threw my internal rhythm out completely.

It felt wrong to see scores of notes being missed out on well-known solos or iconic riffs be boiled down to the bare minimum and while Expert Modes on some titles have both been accused of also missing out a note or two, and in some cases adding in more notes than the real-life equivalent, these truly feel like the best methods for getting the full "I should really start learning this instrument" experience.
