Episode 2, spoilered as no doubt people are still playing it

->Open Spoiler<-

Fantastic game, but you will forever hate Striders and Hunters after that infuriating last level. Completely useless friendly AI coupled with Valve being unable to resist the urge to introduce ANOTHER use for the Gravity Gun. Seriously, couldn't they just give me a Magnusson Device cannon ffs. I loved every minute of Ep2 except those spent fighting the poxy Striders.

Glad I'm not the only one, I stopped playing the game at that point and haven't gone back to it.

The Tower tunnels in Panzer Dragoon Saga. I liked the hover machine you scoot around on, and indeed i loved the tunnel inards, the central column, the lift. But some of the enemies were rubbish and it just went on....far.....too......long.

It wasn't that bad, was it?

Oh it was, it was really bad and very disappointing.

I'd also vote for the first level in Killer 7. What a relatively bland introduction to such an imaginative game. I wasn't really drawn in until the cutscene just after the first boss fight.

[Roddie]

Yup, very strange way to start the game. I found that level so tedious and confusing that I didn't come back to Killer7 for literally years, I just finished the game the other day.

The last boss in Street Fighter 3. Gill was it?

Last year when I was playing Final Fantasy 7 for the first time, there was a section I was forced to play where a small army was attacking a mountain with a big bird on top.

Um. So, it was probably a mini-game or something, but it just looked and played like terrible things. Maybe it was impressive 10 years ago, but I can't imagine so.

The 4th disc of Shenmue 2 from the point you meet up with that girl Shen Hua or something in the forest. It was one of the best games I'd played up to that point it then got so boring I was close to falling asleep.

The boss of Lost Planet.

On the subject of Lost Planet I'd like to chip in with the games plot.

Fantastic game to play but a plot so awful that it could have been written by a five year old with irritable bowel.

I agree about the original Halo, pretty much the king of games that go down hill fast.

I tend to find I'm actualy disapointed alot by the ends of most games really, Xen has already been pointed out, but the last Half hour of HL2 isnt up to much either in my opinion.

Infact any bit in nearly every game where you lose all your weapons is a low point in the said game.

Oh yeah another stand out rubbish moment... The metal gear solid games... anytime you are made to actualy play them in between watching the fantastic cut scenes. Mainly becuase they control like crap and the game bits always seem like an after thought.

[Pookmunki]

Far from a fantastic game, but the dragon in True Crime LA took the piss. A semi-believable cop game with martial arts, driving and arrests turned farcical for one level (then you exit the sewer, arresting crim's again completely non-plussed by the demon!)

Honourary mention goes to the superbastardhellaNazi's in MOH:Airbourne...i was enjoying it as an authentic WW2 blaster until that point...

[Ady]

The 4th disc of Shenmue 2 from the point you meet up with that girl Shen Hua or something in the forest. It was one of the best games I'd played up to that point it then got so boring I was close to falling asleep.

Wow. Your soul must be as black as tar. I thought that was a beautiful end to the game.

The stealth levels in Fahrenheit were unnecessary and incongrous.

Having to go all the way back and get the sniper rifle in Metal Gear Soild to beat Sniper Wolf, BORING!
