10 Best Video Game Levels Of All Time

6. Rhodes - God of War 2

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=siChsJmJ29o What a way to start a game; God of War 2 certainly began as it meant to go on by kicking off in the burning city of Rhodes, with Kratos fighting a gigantic Colossus throughout the entire level. I think the best way to describe the level is like a rollercoaster ride; you're constantly surprised and excited and terrified by the sheer array of things this level throws at you; one minute you're fighting some generic goons, then the Colossus shows up and you find yourself desperately trying to fend it off. Boasting just the right level of challenge, and bringing a level of artistry to what many would dismiss as a brainless hack 'n slash game, God of War 2's opening helped shape the franchise's reputation for wild set-pieces and exceedingly elegant depictions of absolute chaos. Fingers crossed that the upcoming prequel God of War: Ascension might be able to capture some of the same magic.
