I'm not a fan of forced-scrolling space shooters, but this level kicks ass.

I know people generally hate this level, but I can't get enough of it. It's so stupidly huge and complex that I actually had a lot of fun figuring this place out in a recent playthrough.

DKC2 has a lot of winners, but there's something about the overall atmosphere of Kremland that I really like.

I guess it's not really retro yet, but Seaside Hill from Sonic Heroes will always be my favorite level from any game, ever.

Any of the big levels without so many enemies in Thief, particularly The Lost City. For a game I actually played when it was new, probably Robotricks in Rise of the Triad, dat music complements it so well. The Angry Quilt was pretty nice too.

The level itself wasn't too great but t-rex mode was awesome.

You're retarded.
Every single zone in every single classic Sonic game is full of unique gimmicks and that's a large part of what made those games great. Every zone was rich and unique. They didn't all blur together like some Mario game where you'd usually have at most one or two new obstacles or enemies per level.

Rich with vibrant colors and unique design, that's how games should be.

Not all, mind you. If every single one was like that, it'd blur together. You need the dark with the light, it's how you know good times are coming.

Tree Tops in the first Spyro was the best level across the first three games.

Not him but 3 introduced so many silly gimmick obstacles that it just got boring. 1/2/CD used mostly the same obstacles in interesting ways and when another new obstacle was introduced it didn't seem out of place or forced like 3/S&K had.

I'm not saying 3/S&K was bad, just not really up to the high level that the others were.

No, they really didn't.

Do you have even a single example to back this shitty opinion up?

It's not a matter of the gimmicks, but S3&K had very, very long levels and some of them were fairly difficult too if you weren't accustomed to the previous games already. S3&K is about the only Sonic game where getting killed by timeout is a legit concern (Metallic Madness act 2 in Sonic CD being the other great offender).

I disagree wholeheartedly. 2 and 3/K are very much cut from the same cloth.

I've never taken longer than 5 minutes in an act in S3K. What on earth are you doing that gets you close to hitting the 10 minute mark so often?
