I beat 'Splosion Man yesterday. The difficulty definitely ramps up as you get further in the game, but it never reaches N+ levels of frustration. And the ending is fucking awesome. It has the best songs made for a game since Portal.
However, hardcore mode gets unlocked after beating it, and that is definitely throw your controller at the wall frustrating. It's all the same levels, but they have taken out all of the checkpoints and everything kills you in one hit. I am currently stuck on the 10th level. I finally got too frustrated to continue at about 1:00 a.m. last night.
At any rate, if you have the points, buy it. These people deserve your money.
