Games you have a love-hate relationship with

[Shiken]

For this, I am going to harken back to one of my childhood favorite games, Sonic the Hedgehog 3...

I loved everything about the game, but there was this one part that always brought the gameplay to a screeching halt. Iy was in the Carnival World during the second act. You will come across a dead end with a cylinder that you had to jump on to get it to move up and down. It is actually a mechanic that I have seen used in many games before. Anyway here you had to keep jumping with perfect timing until you could jump off under the platform you were stuck on. The problem is that the physics were so bloody awful that at first I found it damn near impossible to do, and later just found it an annoying diversion to slow my pace.

Throw in the fact that I always insisted on using Sonic AND Tails, and you have a recipe for a bad time as Tails would also jump with me, throwing off the already delicate timing.
