Worst level in a good game.

The nightmare level in the first Max Payne. Running and jumping on a narrow beam trying to follow the audio cues of a crying baby...and all without your guns so no blowing your brains out when you're too frustrated to restart yet again.

Mega Man 2, Heat Man stage.

Jesus Christ, those disappearing blocks were impossible without Item-2. It's a level hazard you might expect from a ROM hack, not from an actual video game.
OH YEAH. RIGHT HERE. Hated that level.

The Escort Level in Bioshock was annoying too. I turn around to kill a splicer, no enemies attacking in worrisome numbers, and I turn around to find that the Little Sister is being torn to shreds while I stand there, watching helplessly. I make it through with the Little Sister barely alive, and i can't heal her. That was the worse part.
I share your absolute hatred for that part of Bioshock. I mean seriously, was there really a need to tack on an escort mission to the end of the game. Why not just skip that part and get to fighting Atlas? (Granted, I didn't like that part that much more, either, but escort missions in general are a pain in the butt, so why bother?)

Side note: does anyone here really like escort missions? Just curious.
I know I don't. Atlas was a really lame/wimpy boss though. "Run away from him, shoot him a little, and poke him with the Little Sister Uber Needle" and you done with the game.

i dont know if this counts as a level but in skate 2 there was a challenge where you had to do an invert on a basketball hoop; it took me four hours!
YES! Come to think of it, a lot of challenges in Skate and Skate 2 were impossibly difficult.

umm... it's Malachor V not IV...anyway, that sucked but the worst part of the game was on peragus. It's like a failed attempt at survival horror i.e. being alone on a deserted meteor station where the crew is dead (and the game doesn't let you forget it, with several mangled corpses and screamy voice recordings of people being killed by robots strewn all across the station). It wants you to be scared, but it just doesn't work....perhaps because you're running around in your underwear, shooting lightning out of your fingers at comically ill-proportioned robots... kinda makes it hard to take it seriously...

yeah thats probably the worst tutoral/starting level I've ever played.

The Boat, in Mirror's Edge. I'm really good at getting from point A to Point B, so a lot of the game worked well. The elevators were a tad annoying, but they weren't too long... In the Boat, you sit for about TWO MINUTES DOING NOTHING in a truck, shimmy for THIRTY FLOW-BREAKING SECONDS on a pipe, and open about TWENTY wheel operated doors that take about ten seconds to open. And just to kick me while I'm down, I find that a character I liked was the bad gal!

In pursuit of Echigoya - Tenchu Z
If you're not in the know. You basically have to follow this guy through a village, whilst avoiding detection Which is relatively easy, but to get the highest rank, you have to kill all the patrols/guards, whilst keeping up with the mark. Very hard mission. Very boring mission.

Mile High Club on COD 4. One minute, really? And it has nothing to do with the story.
well some people do it in like 30 seconds, so yeah

EDIT: And the military base mission in stalker shadow of chernobyl.
jesus christ you get your ass kicked enough in those games by randoms, but an entire military base of dudes with assault rifles just aint right. Of course i cheated it by hiding inside a baracks with a double barreled shotgun ready to level anyone who came inside the door.

the pile of bodies was so big...

took forever to loot them for ammo lol.
That level was insane. I did it on the hardest mode and it took like forty tries. Still yes very good loot, but ya needed like three trips to get it all.

Anything in Warrior Within containing a Dahaka chase. Technically not a level, but hey- I could've done without it.

that stupid Twilight town in Paper mario:TTYD,constant back and forth bullshit.
YES, I just played through that and THAT was annoying FUCK
And I extra quoted you because right now I'm playing P3 (and getting my ass kicked by the 59th floor guardian).
The Floor bosses are worse than the full moon bosses. I loved the full moon bosses especially the Lovers or which ever one is called that takes place in the sleazy hotel

In the Legend of Zelda Minish Cap where you have to bomb this certain wall to get the item to get through the stupid thing. There weren't even cracks on it! The only thing that clued you in were these two skulls against the wall and you had to guess that between those two skulls was a bombable point.

I remember that shitty ass mission. It's like an escort mission where the escort controls the pace. The time it took me to get a ninja 5 is annoying.

I have never, ever liked the Forerunner levels in any Halo game. They all just seem too confusing and disoriented, with architecture that makes no sense at all, and to top it all off I get lost on each level.

Any game where there's an underwater level where you have to dive into a pool or the ocean to swim (if you're in a submarine, it's fine) but if you have to swin, god i hate those, sooooo much. The one thing in videogames that really freak me out (no matter what game i'm playing) are underwater levels. Just the thought of what's usually swimming in them.... *shudder*
Underwater levels are the worst in ANY game.
