MGS4 ( Spoilers alert )

I am currently playing Metal Gear Solid 4 and it is just amazing ... well i'd say it gets really great at Shadow Moses and following that. Before that mission the game is good but its a normal stealth shooter with a good story that tries to tie every game of the series together.

Anyways, Shadow Moses is the site of a nuclear weapons disposal facility in MGS (ps1). In this iteration of the series, you go back to Shadow Moses to find REX which is a huge Mech that you have to retrieve before the bad guys.

There are so many cool things about that area in the game which makes it the best part of the game so far. You start as Snake trying to get inside the facility as played in the first game including the ps1 graphics, gameplay and even the remapped controls on the controller. This is just amazing and never done before and you get to think back about the experience you had at that time many years ago. Inside the facility you get to experience a combination of the new experience MGS4 offers and all the screams, sounds and map design of the ps1 game... it is just awesome. It also includes conversations with Otacon about the ps1 game and other characters coming in to discuss the past.

After a fight using a Mech and a new mechanic (which will be used later in a different way) to fight a boss, you'll get to fight Mantis again ... which offers some great dialog lines from your friends who try to help you defeat the boss using old tactics from the ps1 era "try to change your controller to port 2... what ? there are no more ports on the ps3!?!?!" They offer some great insights of strategies used on the first game and they make fun of the consoles (ps1 vs ps3) breaking the fourth wall ... so you're playing a game, but they keep talking about console technology and make many reference about the old games which is so funny and just great to hear. Your video input changes to "Hideo2" ... lol

I just loved these parts of the games and I hope the rest is as good as this while trying to tie all story elements together from all previous games of the series. :)
