Under Pressure
In my experience, the most difficult button combination sequence in the game is when Norman Jayden must bring in a suspect for questioning, who goes by the name of Mad Jack. Jackson is said to have sold a used car to the Origami Killer and presumably has information on the killer identity or alias.
When Jayden finds traces of human blood and orchid pollen, he tries to arrest Jack on the spot. He resists the arrest and goes to Kill Jayden—which he can if the player is not quick enough during the intense fight sequence.
If Jayden survives the attack and beats Mad Jack, he concedes and Jayden proceeds with the arrest. It’s then Jayden’s nose begins to bleed, his eyes begin twitching and his hands start shaking uncontrollably in the middle of the arrest.
To resist feeding his addiction to a drug called triptocaine, the player must hold down a series of buttons to stop his hands from shaking and the weakness from his symptoms of withdrawal.
If the player lets Jayden takes the drug or lets go of one of the buttons during the resistance (and believe me that’s not hard to do), Mad Jack attacks him—and the player must take him on in a fight to the death.
There are many challenging button sequences, but that one in particular stood out to me, as it takes a highly-skilled player to actually arrest Mad Jack, without triggering the deadly fight.
In earlier missions, Jayden could fight or give into his tripto addiction by using similar button combinations—but no more than about four. In this sequence there were about nine different buttons to hold down simultaneously; and doing this takes absolute dexterity.
