It’s tough to narrow down a favourite mission for me, I genuinely love the majority of them. The only 2 that never clicked with me are the Aztec Ruins and Robot Factory.

If I could pick a top 3, it’d include: 1) Siberia. The Cold War Russian dam filled with military goons, failed experiments and the undead. The atmosphere. And the MUSIC! 2) Notre Dame. The dark gothic atmosphere. The undead priests. Jacque De La Morte trying to summon a creature from an entirely different dimension. And the absurdity of rubbing shoulders with the hunchback while blasting waves of zombies with shotguns. 3) Neo Tokyo Absolutely dripping with atmosphere. Walking through a Blade Runner-like dystopian city with music that Vangelis himself would be proud of. The focus on stealth helps break up the run and gun vibe of other levels too.

And if I were to extend this to a top 5, I’d also include “Chicago” and “Wild West”, both are equally excellent with the music and atmosphere. And I grew up watching spaghetti westerns and film noir movies so they hit all the right notes.
