The water temple, as everyone else says.

But also that level from C&C 3 where you have to control limited power when there is a fully defended enemy base inches from your doorstep. That was the first time I threw a mouse against my wall. Video games do make me at least violent

splinter cell on expert(they kill you with 1 or 2 shots,they can hear you and detect you from very long distances)
or RE 5 on professional (everything kills you with 1 hit,the zombies take like 12 shots to die and the zombies with guns are almost imposible to beat you have to be very careful)

I grew up on Megaman (the originals). My friends and I traded off after every time we lost. The goal was not to beat the game, not even to beat the boss, but rather to get his life bar lower than your personal best.

Also, Ninja Gaiden 2 for the 360. Two Armadillo bosses that instakill explode when killed (you're only allowed to carry one revive). If I hadn't have gotten the game for such a great price it would have been returned the second those came up.
Those explosions are survivable - you have to block them.
Yes, you read that right. Block the gigantic explosions. When your largest weapon is a scythe. It makes absolutely no sense at all, but it somehow works.

Ninja Gaiden 2. Got to Venice, then it's all just a blur.
im with you. first couple of levels were fine, then the worm boss... that god damned worm boss. then all hunky dory until venice, then comes i believe its level 8, when enemies get homing lightning speed insta-kill rockets. sold it. gamestop was a better option than a broken controller and a snapped game disc lol

Shadow of Rome. When you get around the mid-point, the game jumps from fairly challenging to murderously difficult and at one point asks you to clear a room full of (infinitely? I've never survived long enough to check) respawning enemies, all of which can have a spike shield and a sling, to a torch and a dagger, to halberds and can spawn smaller enemies and bigger enemies, the latter of which are thrice your size and can take four times the punishment.

By the time those enemies spawn in, you'll be able to appeal to the crowd to get a weapon (usually a halberd or a spear, if your're lucky it'll be a Grand Magnus) that's bigger than the player character. As soon as the weapon lands in the arena and you can pick it up, someone who previously didn't exist will stun you or knock you over or something, then themselves or another enemy will pick up your hard-earned bus-sized sword and proceed to rape you.

Even if you manage to get the weapon, any attack that hits you can make you drop your right-hand weapon. All of the weapons you can get by appealing to the crowd take two hands to hold.

Oh, and did I mention that you have to kill certain enemies in that room to rescue four hostages from wooden cages, and if anyone attacks them, the hostage takes damage? Yeah. I almost ate my controller.

I Wanna Be the Guy. Apparently it's hard. Hardest game I ever played was probably on the NES.

Darksiders has a pretty weird difficulty curve has mentionned by Yathzee in his review... the first boss is by far the hardest one, than everything else is just cake.

DA:O is very difficult, but I enjoy it most of the time. The basic difficulty for games sure has come down huge leaps from, let's say, Amiga times.

Apparently, spelling ridiculous is difficult. Even spelling it wrong the same way twice is beyond some...

Anywho...Ninja Gaiden on the hardest setting.
Anyone who even attempts that should have already known what they were getting into. People still can't beat the first few bosses on Normal. I know a guy who is forever stuck on stage 2 of NG1. Yeah.....

No one's mentioned it yet? Seriously?

The Water Temple from OoT. Everything's a breeze for the entire game, and then BAM! Lowering/raising water levels, going all the way to the clothing menu to change into your iron boots, and worst of all, being able to get yourself stuck forever if you do things wrong with absolutely no warning that such a thing was even possible.

Still haven't beaten it.
Yeah, the Water Temple took me longer to finish than any other dungeon, but it's not impossible. If you don't mind online strategy guides, I suggest you use one. I did, and still had problems. I don't even want to think about how insane I would have gone had I not used a strategy guide.

Seriously though, no matter how much the Water Temple frustrates you, it's definitely worth finishing. Ocarina of Time is an EPIC game, and my favorite Zelda game of all time. Trust me, it doesn't get harder after the Water Temple. After you finish it, the rest of the game should be a relief. It's still challenging, but not frustrating.

All that comes to my mind right now is the difference between Hardened and Veteran difficulty on CoD4. Alot of missions weren't too hard on any difficulty, but missions like One Shot, One Kill, and Mile High Club... I beat them within my first 5 tries on Hardened. Veteran, took me ages to beat Mile High Club, and 1S1K, wouldn't have beaten it if it weren't for the crazy glitch that happened.

For some reason, I've always found Final Fantasy and Silent Hill to be difficult for me. I absolutely love both series for their stories and characters but I have yet to actually finish one for myself. >.>;

Obviously as said before, Ninja Gaiden 2. Unlocked the 3rd difficulty, never have seen the hardest.
Also Kingdom Under Fire Heroes, that single player game was...impossible.
