I had a game that I feel was similar to this back when I had a PS2. I can't quite remember the name of the game though. I think it had a red case though :) I can see how if you never feel like you are getting any better it can be really frustrating. I had a James Bond game on the PS2 that was similar to that. It was super fun to play, but I sucked at it and I could never get very far. I have recently started playing Fallout New Vegas again on my gaming laptop. I am not far into it yet, but it has been fun playing something besides Diablo 3 again.
