It's tough to really name a modern game here, as "easy" has kind of become the norm. Even on hard, there aren't too many games that I haven't beaten inside of a week, and I have a full time job and a six year-old.

Old school easy games that stick out as "Holy crap that game was easy" include most of the Disney games for the 8 and 16 bit systems. See: Ducktales, Rescue Rangers, Little Mermaid, Aladdin (which was fun, but really easy), and pretty much anything based on the Disney afternoon.

Probally the first spyro game for the PS1.

I found that quite hard :(

Final Fantasy X-2. Too easy.

Maybe I just suck at most games, as the only games I can play on the hardest ones are the Guitar Hero series, and the NFS series...maybe I just suck at shooters and RTSs.
That said, NFS: Carbon was damned easy. I could probably beat it in a day if I tried. Mario Kart Wii is damned easy on 50 and 100, but after that it seems to have an exponential difficutly curve, with 150cc at the top.

I think games are getting easier, especially with console games, because developers are triyng to go for the 'pick-up-and-play' dynamic. Saying that, apart from the Wii, I don't think I've ever found a mainstream game that anyone could just sit down and do alright on.

games are pushed to be simple in this day and age so that everyone can play them...but the easiest game I have EVER beaten? Probably the Harvest Moon 64...it was just impossible to fail obviously, but the women were simple to please and after awhile (once you got the greenhouse + a couple of cows to win the contest and get the special grade milk) money just came so vastly that I was able to put off weeks of in game farming and just go participate in events and fish ALOT...maybe that's just me though........come to think of it, got really bored of the game and stopped playing just before my uncle or w/e was supposed to return...hmm...oh well :D

Come to think of it, I take back my first statement...alot of games are still too hard for the younger crowds....but most games have "difficulty settings" for a reason

RE 2 both disc in the same day Minus cut scenes

New Super Mario Bros.

Okay, I know for a fact some of you people are liars.

For me, it was undoubtly Gun. It was an excellent game, and while I did die in parts, it was just too short to present a real threat.

The flash game God's Playing Field.

Series of Unforunate Events, for the Gamecube. I beat the game in three afternoons all on weekdays(meaning I was still going to school), with an 8:00 bedtime, in grade 3, while unlocking everything. Either I was obsessive, or the game is pathetic.

PS. to Mr. Bubbles, I doubt that flash games count

Lego Star Wars trilogy (the prequel trilogy that is).
Bought it, finished it the same day, next day I went back to the store and swapped it for a better game.
Hint: buy your games like this, it's like a two for one bargain.

Devil May Cry 2.

I swear, all I had to do was shoot shoot shoot shoot shoot, slash for good measure, shoot shoot shoot.

And pretty much any turn based RPG is pretty easy. I mean, it's kind of hard to die when you've got a million healing potions laying around all over the place. That's not to say you don't die, but unless you're fighting a boss or something... unlikely.

You're playing the wrong turn based RPGs. Some of them are absolutely murderous difficulty wise. Easiest games for me is Kingdom Hearts 1 and 2. Even on on the highest difficulty and doing the max level arena stuff/Sephiroth I had absolutely no problems at all.

Don't care, a game's a game. Besides, someone else mentioned that burn the rope game, so precedent is on my side.

mario paint

you just paint

Pokemon Snap.
I frequently play my N64 and felt like visiting the past.
I beat that game in an hour and a half, 100%.
Also an easy game,
Bioshock. that game is incredibly amazing, but annoyingly short.

Phantom Hourglass

In case you didn't see the crack in the wall, there's a sign next to the crack in the wall telling you to look out for the crack in the wall. Maybe you should check the crack in the wall?

Both God of War games for PS2.

I bought the PS2 when God of War was in platinum and they were selling the slim-line-silver PS2 consoles, got home and played for 12 hours or so (was late for work the next day) to completion. It was addictive as anything, I'll give it that, but it was really easy (just playing normal).

The second God of War was awaited with much anticipation and, after dealing with the colossus I chewed through it in two nights.

The beauty is that I keep playing them though.

Does anyone remember "Giana Sisters"? It was a Mario clone from way back in the C64 days. I'm not sure I ever finished it but that was certainly an easy game.

hmm thats a hard one. Ill have to say either freelancer for the pc, or coolspot for the sega genesis. Coolspot was fun, but it got boring going through the levels twice. once going, once on the way back.

Mansion of Hidden souls. Can clear it in like 5-10 minutes.

I can almost say that no one else has ever played that one.

Sega Saturn days...

On a plus side, it was super creepy without trying to be, and the atmosphere and 'feel' of the game gave me was really immersive.

I realize its cheating to get very specific, but Puzzle Quest, as Druid, at higher levels. Entangle, few tile manipulations, shuffle, entangle, throw in a random fireball here in there. Once you've reached that point, you almost always win your first turn, it just takes forever. Its like playing a Tolarian Academy deck

Other then that, Im going to say A Tale in the Desert. Very fun game, but if you play, you will hate yourself for liking it. Rotting flax is a major skill. More educational then is natural.

Portal i know some people may say the last puzzle is inches from impossible but if you have at least an IQ of 5 and 1 working brain cell you can beat it

Gonna have to say that You have to burn the rope, the game linked in the first page is pretty fucking easy...

Love the credit music

The trick was to use the D-pad and both buttons.

Did it ever occur to you that I might just be super awesome at RPG's?

Haha, I'm just joking, I'm not that cocky and I'm not that good.

The ones I've played through are the older ones like Chrono Trigger and FFXII. I think the most recent one I've had time to completely play through was Golden Sun, and that's a couple of years old now.

So yeah, I probably haven't played any of the harder ones. I don't know which ones the difficult ones are though.

Lost: Via Domus. I was hoping for at least a little bit of a challenge, but that game was one short interactive movie.

Game: "Go here, do this."
Me: "Okay."
Game: "Congratulations, you did this. Have some achievement points."
Me: "Oh...thanks?"

ace combat, fires of liberation

I flew trough that game (no pun intended) in like 3 hours

i Really like all of the ace combat games though

A SpongeBob game I clocked in about 5 hours... when I was 10.

Portal

It was fun and quirky, and it wasn't meant to be overly hard, but if easy is what you want than this gorgeous little game needs about as much cognitive ability and skill as pleasing a Masochist....

trust me.

I would have to take the Michael and mention Granny's Garden.
On a more serious note, I'd say that Fable was ridiculously easy and without compensation.

ummm does anyone remeber that system Atari i think Pong is hands down the simplest game ever created, but Mario kart and Pokemon Yellow were reaaaallly easy to.

I'd say any of these games with the irritating "regenerating health" thing that ridiculous Halo game made so popular.

I miss stimpacks and medikits.
