Mario 1-1 is an obvious and iconic choice, but what are some others?

I kind of hated that level when I was playing it, if only because it did so little to teach me what to do, where to go, but looking back it was so representative of the rest of the game, I love it now.

Oh I thought of a great one.

Opening of Star Wars: Force Unleashed. I could have spent the entire game as a slow, plodding Vader - one-hitting wookies and wiping out my own troopers. |

The first level of MGS2. I believe it was the Tanker level. Once I finished it though, it got weird from that point on.

| Fallout 3 is also a great one, Deez. Oblivion has a similar first dungeon. |

| Bioshock blew my mind when I played it for the first time alone, in the dark with surround sound cranked to 11. |

Force unleashed 2, not so much an opening 'level' as that opening fall sequence, which is pretty awesome.

And Metroid Fusion too. I love the openings of those games, but I haven't played Other M.

God of War 3 Gaia stage/Posidon Battle for sure. But I'll also add the Hydra Battle from the first God of War since that's my favourite of the trilogy.
Silent Hill. Because you fucking die in the opening stage.
Turtles in Time, Big Apple 3am.
Beginning of Chapter 1 in Uncharted 2
Metal Gear Solid. Credits in an opening level? You're playing a freakin movie!!!
And if this counts the car ride in The Walking Dead.

UGH SPOILERS GAWD.
But seriously, Bioshock's opening to Rapture will always stick with me.

E3 2013 has been very silent for me. There's tons of media, but most of it buzzes past my ears without them catching the important keyword that my ears are fine tuned to receive: "PC" or "Personal Computer". Microsoft, Sony, EA and Ubisoft have all shown their cards...
