Problem with online though is you get people who hax and use cheats in the game. Then they are all cocky at you because they beat you with their bot or hax.

Single player have generally been easier for a few years ago compared to the days of Mega Drive/Genesis and SNES etc although they have added extra difficulty levels on some.

I love the whole "can't complete unless on hard" idea. It rewards the better gamers which i am probably not one of unfortunately.
