The sword fight was easy, provided you knew the trick to tackle Ares. The Kratos clones were far more irritating that that.

I don't know, the first two phases were easy but the last part was tough for me. After trying for an hour, i gave up and defeated Ares in Easy mode. For me, Ares was the only badass boss in God of War series, followed by Persephone in Chains of Olympus.

I have to agree. Ares was a very intimidating boss, as was Cronos.

Gotcha! This' it then. :)

Believe me guys when I say this, I had got a cartridge initially for around 900 INR back then and the TMNT title in this cartridge was way too hard because the AI took a lot of hacks and slashes to die. After spanning several levels, I used to die. Left the game then. Later I got hold of another cartridge which had the same title but the AI was relatively easy. Took fewer hacks to die. Completed this game in single player. IIRC the game allowed for 3 restarts as well from the level where you die. :P

EDIT: Confirmed. It is TMNT 3: The Manhattan Project. Thanks pavasedge! :)

yup! thats the one. Awesome fun that game!
 
Havent completed the game but almost all boss battles in ninja gaiden(dont remember the part) for the X360 had freakin tough boss battles!

^FYI the game's difficulty has been toned down for the PS3 version which is NGS and NGS 2. The original Ninja Gaiden (for the Xbox) and Ninja Gaiden II (for the X360) were by far some of the hardest titles.

Yeah u r right . I played it on Xbox and xbox 360 both . Its Irritatingly annoying and tough . Esp . the bosses . At times i felt that undue advantage was given to the bosses . Even God of war God modes were not that tough .

Diablo's minion Duriel in Diablo 2 was a good fight..

yeah.. Duriel was insane with my Barbarian playthrough, but I breezed through it with my frost Pally!! Frost Pally FTW!
 
RTCW was very though for me. It was the first FPS game, I played.
But beating 'Heinrich' was a cake walk, after I was in GOD mode. :P
Wasn't able to beat him after lot of tries, so resorted to GOD mode. :P

Same..had a tough time with my Barbarian...and a breeze with my Necro...used to take a golem and 6 skels..till the time duriel was busy crushing them...i used that bone something attack(forgot the name :S) from far off..:P
 
Is it just me, or games were way tougher to beat prior to the late 90s? I mean we had limited lives, not much save options and we always had to start over when we were killed. Nowadays, the games are simpler to finish... One game that comes to my mind are the call of duty series, even after being shot badly, we have to just hide in a corner and viola our health status is full... I always wondered why games have got 'dumbed' down these days(of course there are exceptions)...

Thats pretty much true!

Its very "hard" to find "hard" games nowadays.

One recent hard game was Demon's Souls on ps3.

I guess game developers are toning down the toughness and adding more online content, collectibles, trophies/achievements (in case of consoles) to get the players to play the game and get completely sucked into it.

Like in games like Red Dead Redemption, the difficulty level is pretty low but there's so much to explore, so many challenges, and not to mention the online content!

I guess thats the way gaming is going to be now!

One point is, if a game is too tough to beat, players will get frustrated and leave the game, and later *if* the game gets a sequel/prequel, they won't buy it taking the fact into regard that it was too tough (but they'll end up telling you that it was frustrating :P).

One tough game that comes into mind is Super Meat Boy. If you like tough games, play that.

Actually, the first Call of Duty game didn't feature health regeneration at all. It relied of med-kit pick ups and hence was mildly challenging. It was only after Call of Duty 2 adopted this "health regeneration" practice, that almost every game suddenly followed suit.

Its kinda sad, how commercialization has taken over... but i guess your right, no one would feel like buying the next installment if its way too challenging...

Btw has anyone completed pac man? the dos game? i remember it had 255 levels and no saves... that would have to be the toughest game right?
