Returning to Shadow Moses in MGSIV.

That has to be the first one I have to disagree with. But I fully recognise that it is not my sweetest moment, because I never played MGS1. Otherwise it could probably have had a shot.

MGS4 has a lot of awesome moments. I played the game as stealthy as can be and then the first boss fight came, against the octopus lady. The cutscene ends and you are just thrown in the middle of it. A real open firefight and a reversial at the same time because now it is her who hides, who lurkes in the shadow and could strike from any angle at any time and you who has to be active and agressive and attentive about every corner.

The Raiden reveal as cyborg ninja was super well done. Even though I have no frame of reference to other cyborg ninjas like this Frank Yeager guy, or whatever his name was (mgs1?).

And the completely different feeling of the first mission in Prague, what a bold and effective choice for the overall pacing. Prague, apart from the raven fight, was awesome in general. The meet-up with Big Mama with Snake showing what he can still do, the chase, the big stand off and subsequent catastrophy at the river - super well done stuff.

But my sweetest moment for that game has to go to the ending, where after you already thought snake killed himself, it is revealed that he could not do it. He is shoock, sweating, panting and kind of could not believe that he clung to life like that. A true hero who for once did something for himself. And than another twist: big boss is still alive! What a moment.

And could somebody help me please? I don't know how you do spoiler tags. In the tutorial thread it says that I have to go to "styles", but I don't see that option for me.
