All the hardest games in the world are 2-D, from Battletoads to Ikaruga.  

What about F-zero GX? I played that for the first time a few months back, and I don't know about you, but I think it was pretty hard. I played Metroid Prime 2 recently too and there were parts of that game that were reasonably challenging on the basic difficulty setting.

I played both F-zero GX and Metroid Prime 2.  They don't hold a candle to Battletoads when it comes to difficulty.

Not as hard as Battletoads, but F-zero GX was difficult, no? Rubang was saying that all the hardest games in the world are 2-D. Or maybe I'm just particularly lacking in videogame skills. I even found unlocking invincibility and the silver PP7 fairly hard on Goldeneye 007. Up until now I thought that was normal. Is it not?
