What is your favorite level in a videogame?

For me it would definitely have to be ravenholm from Half-Life 2. In my mind nothing comes close to it as far as atmosphere goes.

Test Chamber 19 (Portal)

Water Temple (OoT... I remember staying up all damn night trying to figure that damn place out.. so rewarding, though :D)

The nerdy dude's castle in SPM

I'm SURE I'll think of more..

Ulitimate Castle Perfection and the Impossible maze. Magma Cone from Spyro 2 is also quite the level. There are so many come to think of it lol. Ice Cap Zone, Chemical Plant, bah. I love platfomrers, so memorable.

Oh crap, I knok its not a level but Final Fantasy 8 assasination scene. So much awesome.

Valestein Castle- Ys III

Kickass music, action up the yinyang and 3 awesome bosses.

Omaha Beach in MoH:AA.

The Citadel at the end of Mass Effect.

I thought people stopped calling them "levels".

The library level for Halo. I kid. :P

The Milkman level

Lungfishopolis

Beach Bowl Galaxy

The Sensorium

The Secret Cow Level

Quantum Explosion Dynamo

Hotel Hell

Ikana Canyon in Majora's Mask

A fantastic mix of adventure, complexity, depth, and frustration. Good times.

I really cant think of any :?

No level seemed epic to me. Ill have to think more...

Edit: Ive thought some more

Chapter 2 and 4 were both epic in Uncharted 2. Well really all of it has been epic so far.

Last location in LBP. The wilderness.

for this gen; Killzone 2's second level (forgot the name).

Having recently just beating infamous again, basically the whole last island is just epic. that's more of a world then a level, but it's still great :P

also, Yoshi's Island has tons. Like, too many to list.

Venom in the original Star Fox was amazing too

I don't know if these count as "levels," but I loved Chapters 3 and 6 in Paper Mario TTYD.

Secret Cow level from Diablo 2 Hands down!!!

And there was that one level in Omega Boost (Polyphony's only non-GT game) where you went against a cyborg thingy just as strong as yours. I also love any of the levels from Ikuraga!. But for a console game, ahh probably the milkman conspiracy from Psychonauts. Really I can't pick one,.

Poshley Heights and the Train from Paper Mario The Thousand Year Door.

And Beast's Castle from Kingdom Hearts 2.

Secret Cow level from Diablo 2 Hands down!!!

Blue-Sky

:o

i cant believe i forgot about that one! Epic.

Jollly Rogers Lagoon-Banjo Tooie

Chuo Street-Jet Set Radio Future

Nutty Acres-Nuts and Bolts

SIlent Cortagrapher-Halo CE

also, I forget what its called b ut the planet in Ratchet and Clank Up your arsenal where your looking for Qwark cuz he turned into a tribe monster thing :P

Persona 4's Void Quest and Marukyu Striptease.

Demon's Souls Tower of Lataria.

Any of the Mario levels where I'm forced to constantly move, love those runs.

City escape from sonic adventure 2 battle.

The Secret Cow Level

tagyhag

HAHA OMG I think I love you. Diablo 2 is one of my most favorite PC games of all time.

I still remember the formula: Wirt's Leg + Tome of TP in cube = cow portal

Too bad it was useless on Nightmare and Hell because Chaos Sanctuary was easier and gave more experience. Then it became completely obsolete in Lord of Destruction because of Baal Runs. :(

Hmm let me think...favorite levels..favorite levels..

Besides the Secret Cow Level, here are a few off the top of my head:

Spirit Temple from Ocarina of Time

All of the levels in Giant World from Super Mario Bros. 3

Street Fighter II: Ken, Ryu, and Guile stages.

Super Mario Bros. 3 level where sun chases you the entire time.

That snow themed multiplayer level in Goldeneye 007

Dragon Roost Island in Super Smash Bros. Brawl

Any level in Star Fox where you fight Star Wolf simply because of the memorable lines (I am the great Leon! and Can't let you do that, Star Fox.)

Any detective level on Paper Mario, like the ice level with penguins, and the train level on TTYD.

A lot of levels from Phoenix Wright.

343 Guilty Spark - Halo: CE

Off the top of my head (may change) would be the mech battle in MGS4. That was an epic boss fight that made me crave a good ps3 mech game.:cry: (there is none so far).

Yandere

The key word was good.

Alchemilla Hospital

All those weird outer-spacey levels in Super Mario Sunshine

Kane & Lynch
The high rise level.
Suitably heisty and hectic progression down through a skyscraper and out into the streets. If only the gameplay wasn't so halfassed this could've been as properly epic as the aspirations of the level deserves.

GTAIV
Three Leaf Clover
This is pretty much the same thing as the K&L level. Meaning it's awesome.

Flower
The night level with the purty glowing grass.
Most levels are sort of brilliant in their own way, but I was properly mesmerized by the shiny in this level.

Batman: Arkham Asylum
The party!
A present? For meeee? :D :D BATMAN SMASH! :x
Also some of the Scarecrow stuff was pretty snazzy.

Fahrenheit
The diner and the apartment.
A different kind of tension and a quantum of solace. And as you can see I managed to make a pointless Bond reference.

The Darkness
The sub hub.
George Hadel! Best minor character ever. He should be in every game.

Shenmue II
The walk
I don't know how I'd feel about it were I to replay it, but then I thought it was unusual and magical.

I never knew of anybody that liked the water temple

For me it would the warthog run in halo ce

Lower Norfair in Super Metroid.

Dragon Roost Island from Windwaker

Phendrana Drifts from Metroid Prime

Markyuu Striptease - Persona 4

Amazing music, awesome boss, stylish level. It's entrancing really.

For me it would definitely have to be ravenholm from Half-Life 2. In my mind nothing comes close to it as far as atmosphere goes.

Eggimannd

Uncharted 2 - from "where am I" to the end

Resistance 2 - Chicago

RE5 - Marshlands

those are just some from recent time.

Surface Tension - Half-Life

Ohh yeah

Anything with the scarecrow in Batman AA

Half-Life: can't rember what it was called exactly but it was when the soilders came.

Half-Life 2: Revenholm and the Prison sections cause lets face it, they are awesome.

L4D: No mercy map 4 (the hospital), good times.

TF2: 2fort nuff said

RE4: Opening village sequence

THPS3: Los angeles

skate: Very first skatepark or demo skatepark

Then there are plenty others but none i can think of right now.

just to add a few more

Donkey Kong 64-DK Isles (one of the best hubs EVER)

Mario 64-Jolly Rogers Bay

Pokemon Silver-Olivine City(not sufe if the towns in that game count as levels)

Gex 3-that elf snow themed level

Nordschleife. I've only played it in Gran Turismo, but it seems to be best in NFS: SHIFT.

I have A LOT. These are probably my top 5 favorites though in no order:

The Silent Cartographer- Halo: Combat Evolved

Click Clock Wood- Banjo Kazooie

Tiny Huge World- Super Mario 64

Phendrana Drifts- Metroid Prime

Eternal Glacies- Panzer Dragoon Orta

And a lot more, but those are some of my very, very, VERY most favorite ones.

NeonNinja

good job, those are my favorite levels in both of those games :P

Nar Shaddaa from Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic II. G0-T0's speech near the end of it basically destroys everything you thought you knew and loved about the ending of Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic, and it's totally awesome in doing so.

The Citadel at the end of Mass Effect.
