the hard mode is far too difficult to be any fun.

He is actually somewhat right. There is only one mission I have never completed on perfect in PD. That mission is WAR!. I know it is a bonus mission, but it is so mind blowingly difficult, so far past the point of fun as to be sadistic.
I also never unlocked every cheat given how unforgiving and unreasonable some of the requirements were.
Goldeneye was more forgiving since you got invincible frames. The weapons fired a lot slower allowing you to better place shots and receive less damage.
PD was potentially easier if you had some of the quirkier weapons like the Laptop gun or the CMIOP that can lock on. Pop out, lock on, pop in before they see you, then run out and mow down a room full of guys. Silence weapons was a real must on a lot of levels.
