Hardest Games to Finish on the Playstation 2
I have never, in my life, been able to beat this game without using cheats or exploits. For 10 grueling years, I have been stuck in a cycle of playing this game, getting stuck, and then setting it aside for a couple of years, only to pick it back up and get slightly further before getting stuck again.
The day that I finally conquer this game will be the day that I find inner peace, align my chakras, open my third eye, and become one with the cosmos of tranquility. Oh, and there's also Hero Mode.
Hardest PS2 game I've played. It requires you to get a lot of orbs and use them to power up, enhance, and purchase holy waters, vital stars, Devil stars, etc.
Easy on this game was pretty OK. Then once you switched it to normal, things started to get crazy! And PLEASE don't even talk about Heaven or Hell mode!
This needs to be higher. This is the only game that had to be released twice! The second version was way easier. Just come on, this needs to be number one!
Tell me about it. Pro difficulty sucks to try to beat.
I have to disagree with most of the comments here. Any scrub can beat this game on easy. However, on God difficulty, you are a walking glass cannon. Basically, without a solid health upgrade, almost any enemy can one-shot kill you. It's a true test of patience and a respectable game for gamers looking for a challenge.
As the top comment says, after you beat Ares, prepare for the hardest section in the history of gaming (God difficulty). Very underrated. God mode easily takes its place among the likes of Soulsborne games.
The last mission (in Black Ops difficulty) is just impossible. It's quite long, and the enemies with shields are immortal. They keep coming from somewhere I haven't found yet.
Pretty difficult game overall. It requires you to restart the entire level upon death. It has an interesting tate system that deals with the number of enemies you have slain in a row in a given amount of time, thus increasing your sword's damage.
One-shotting bosses, getting triple SSS, all fun but pretty hard to master. I was never able to beat the last boss. I recently started a playthrough a few years ago. One day I might finish him, who knows.
Getting an S Rank on the final level on the hardest difficulty is a struggle for the ages.
Boy, this game was a challenge, but the story is like Star Wars directed by Stanley Kubrick.
God Hand is an adventurous and very difficult game. It should have topped this list. It is even harder than God of War and God of War 2, and many others. This is the hardest game I have ever seen.
Even my friends used to tell me about how many times they fought the boss but were still unable to defeat them. You people should play it first and then rank it. After playing this game, even you will think that this is the most difficult game on PS2.
Even on easy, it's a very hard game but not for the right reasons. You've got the infamous Capcom fixed camera, which does not do well in this sort of game. Combine that with not-quite-polished controls, and what should be an amazingly fun game to play (yes, I realize there is a lot of strategy in upgrading and knowing which move set to use - that isn't the problem) just turns into frustration and a slog to get through.
Relentless bosses and a small health gauge make for a difficult experience.
A tough game right from the very start. Much like the other games in the Ghosts and Goblins series, you only get hit twice in the whole game. To make matters worse, enemies can flood the screen at any moment.
It's hard and unforgiving like its granddad, Ghosts and Goblins, but there's a lot of fun to be had.
Not the hardest game in the world but frustrating due to the fact that AI seemingly never attack each other. This makes the deathmatch tournament name a little stupid, considering I have had two enemies sit and wait for me. The most damage one did was maybe a missile's worth. Overall, the bosses are ridiculously simple and easy.
