As far as graphical and fun factor I' m going to have to say

JSRF- 99th street

DOA3-the high rise building

Sonic2-Casino night

Sonic 1-springyard zone

sonic 1-Starlight

Yeah, I like all the choices you' ve picked, very fun levels, makes me want to play Sonic 1 again

Here' s some:

Kingdom Hearts - Deep Jungle
Twisted Metal: Black - Freeway
Command & Conquer Generals - 3rd GLA level (with all the angry mobs and molotiv cocktails! Brilliant!)
Baldur' s Gate 2 - Temple Area (beautiful architecture)
Carmageddon 2 - Airport
Tekken 4 - Bar

Just a few that really stand out for me. All based on Level design.

Shadowman: Gardelle County Jail
Shadowman: New York Tenement
Shadowman: London Underground
LoZ OoT: Water Temple
LoZ OoT: Spirit Temple
LoZ MM: Ikana Canyon Temple (Can' t remember the exact name)
Goldeneye: Frigate
Goldeneye: Bunker (Both times)
Banjo Kazooie: Click Clock Wood
Banjo Tooie: Hellfire Peaks
Jet Force Gemini: Ichor Military Base
Jet Set Radio Future: 99th Street

Yup. Like Isaid. Just a few.

Hmmm, here are mine:

Original Mario: The lava train
Resident Evil: The hallway with the windows (how many nearly unloaded their bowels in that part?)
Halo: Attack the control room
Halo: The last part where you had to drive

GOOD TOPIC!


Contra - Stage 1 ...classic!
Flashback - The Running Man Stage
MoH:AA - Omaha Beach
Sonic 1 - Starlight Zone....soooo fun!

I' ll think of more.....soooo many games to mentally cycle through!

Yup - some good choices here -

* NiGHTS - Twin Seeds (final stage, just damn fun playing as the kids instead of NiGHTS)

* Sonic 3 - Marble Garden (HUUUUUUUUGE!!!)

* Mario Kart Advance - Sky Garden (very nice course, good turns, wide and thin parts of the track)

* Jet Set Radio Future - Kibogaoka (sp) Hill (purely because, if you' re good enough, you can make it almost all the way round grinding)

* Sonic (Master System) - Scrap Brain (act 2, just ' cos of the cool teleporters)
* Flashback - the game show stage (I think someone else listed it as " Running Man" )

* Mario 64 - the wreck stage (big, and it' s got a cool pirate ship!)

* Mario 3 - the second stage on the first map (I don' t know why, I just love this)

* Sega Rally - Mountain (perfect for a rally race)

* Virtual On/VO:OT - the space dock (excellent for fast mechs with good balance of cover and open area)

* Halo - 1st stage Pillar Of Autumn (come on, who can' t love this stage? Pity about the rest of the game...)

* Panzer Dragoon Orta - Altered Genomes (simply lush graphics, excellent sound, and loads of different sections to fight through)

Wow! Someone else who played Flashback! One of my alltime favorite games...the best on Sega Genesis IMO.

And yeah, I forgot the actual name of the stage, but it just reminded me a lot of the movie " The Running Man" when the game came out. A game show in which you fight for your life and all.

And the greatest level (IMO) ever is:

The Helicopter level in Half-Life!
You get chased by a heli in the WHOLE level and you have to take cover ALL THE TIMe. And the levle is immense! I can play that one for ages! It brings the ultimate rush!

Pressure: Unreal Tournament
Siegried Forest: Medal of Honor
Wonderland: Kingdom Hearts
Macalania Woods: Final Fantasy X

I know these aren' t really " levels," but I' m not a platforming fan, so...

MOH:AA - Omaha Beach

Sonic 2 - Casino Night Zone

Duke Nukem 3d - Hollywood Holocaust

Halo - Pillar of Autumn (totally agree KK)

Sega Rally - All tracks except lakeside are PERFECT

Goldeneye - Bunker (version where you need to take photograph)

Virtua Fighter 3 - Train Station (first time seeing raised levels and model 3 graphics = WOW)


Can' t think of any others just now :(

Most Overrated level of all time: Facing Worlds (Unreal Tournament CTF map)

I thought most of the levels in Splinter Cll were amazing. I' d have to get back to you on the rest.

Medal of Honor: Frontline - Omaha Beach
SOCOM - Ghost Town & Temple at Hohn Kaen (sp?)
Super Mario World- Any level
Mario Kart- Ghost House
MSR- San Fransisco (the one that goes up the hills, then around and back down. Reminds me of Bullitt)
Tony Hawk 3- Cruise Ship

Damnit, I knew I' d forget a few. MoH: Frontline' s Omaha Beach and a number of missions in Splinter Cell definitely make my list too.

Oh yeah -

MSR/Project Gotham - definitely the San Francisco levels, agreeing wth Wardo

Goldeneye - yeah, the bunker levels were damn good, especially if you only use the standard pistol with a silencer, taking down the security cameras - Pierre2k

Good one fathoms: Wonderland in Kingdom Hearts.

Most levels really brought out the child in me, but that one was SO great when I first entered. You also hear that song in Disney Land Paris when you enter the Wonderland Maze. I love it.

And as for Macalania Woods: ASTONISHING graphics. Those butterflies are annoying though.

Heh...butterflies. I' m sorry, but that mini-game was CRAZY hard. It was the toughest one I did, even harder than dodging the 200 bolts of lightning and the Chocobo Race.

I loved Macalania myself...definitely an awesome area.

Chocobo race was friggin easy... Got it in 5 tries!
But about Macalania: I think it is the most beautiful place on the PS2 ever.

Eh? You got 0.0.0 in FIVE tries?

You' re a fuxin' LIAR.

No I' m not a fuxn liar. I know I can' t back it up, but I got really lucky really fast. For some reason I got all the ballons in the first straigh path without birds. After that I just grabbed all balloons that weren' t bombarded by birds. The trainer got hit after hit and I got only get hit once, at the end. I got 18 ballons in that run in like 40 seconds.

That' s a 0.0.0 to me! I admit I was lucky, but at least I did it, eh?
