Amplitude for PlayStation 2

$32.00 Est. at Amazon

from www.pricegrabber.com
and like the first game it can get very challenging later on, you'll have to time and press each button with crazy speed and accuracy.
from www.pricegrabber.com
even if you're not wild about the music (and i'm not wild about all of it), it's still an excellent game that is fun, challenging, and varied.

this can get quite difficult for the rhythmically challenged, but it will do wonders for your hand-eye coordination.

i would definitely reccommend ddr as the best music type game out there (perhaps taiko drum master and donkey kongo are somewhat a challenge to this) but for a ps2 controller based game, this beat

each song has 5 difficulty settings (instead of ddr's 3).

adjusted for higher or lower impact depending on our ability...and of course, if you already do great on floor exercises, try it with the equipment and increase the difficulty and exercise time.
from www.amazon.com
it was challenging, but that is why i liked it so.
from www.amazon.com
maya doesn't really adjust the difficulty, even though she says she will.

Kingdom Hearts II

$33.00 Est. at Amazon

from Oprious from Myrtle Beach, www.circuitcity.com
the game can be challenging on proud mode for all those people that think it's easy, try beating sephiroth without leveling up past 55 if you want a challenge
from Natles from Houston, Texas, www.circuitcity.com
the game also lets you pick what level of difficulty you want, so if you are a beginner then you won't have a very hard time with things and if you are a pro then you won't see it as not a challenge.
from James from Va, www.circuitcity.com
i know i gave it 5 for challenging but i didn't want this game rating to go down, it definently deserves a 5

its the most addictive game ever.at the first part it may look a little easy at first, but if you get more in the game you will see its quite challenging.

going commando (without the r-rated language, and scenes).lots of reminders of the first game, but new weapons,tougher foes and a little more challenging game play make this one an instant classic.

i have the game and it's not that challenging but when i play i have a lot of fun.
from www.circuitcity.com
the game has a good plot, amazing graphics, great sounds, quite challenging, and if you like big guns you're looking at the right game!

highly addictive, the entire r&c series is great, going commando is the second game in the series, and more challenging than the first or 3rd.
