Yes and no.

A certain level of difficulty is obviously vital in making a game challenging and hard to put down. You wouldn't necessarily keep coming back to a game if it was a breeze to get through.

However, there is a fine line between being difficult enough to make a game really fun and exciting and the kind of fucking brain-splattering Nazi hard that results in broken controllers and holes in the wall. That's no fun. Then again...when you beat a game like that the accomplishment is huge...so I've contradicted myself.

I'm looking at you Chakan...

Seriously, I'd rather play the Saturn/N64 port than play that piece of crap. Slow, clunky, boring.
