8 Challenging Video Game Moments That Made You Sweat

4. GTA San Andreas - Wrong Side Of The Tracks

When a mission's failure cutscene has managed to become embedded into pop culture, it has to be pretty notoriously difficult.

That is certainly the case for GTA San Andreas mission Wrong Side of the Tracks, that sees CJ and Big Smoke chasing down a group of Las Vegan gang members who are stood atop of a moving train.

So what makes this iconic mission so difficult?

Well, unfortunately, all the player can do in the mission is to attempt to stay close to the train and hope that Big Smoke eliminates the targets.

The problem with this is Big Smoke has the shooting skills of a blind stormtrooper meaning that the player can find themselves repeatedly getting in the right place only for the AI to fail to do its part.

And, of course, when Big Smoke lets you down you'll be sure to hear that immortal line:

"All we had to do, was follow the damn train, CJ!"
