3. Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare
The celebrated helicopter drop-off. No big surprises, no undue explosions (at first, anyway). That’s British military efficiency for you.
4. Far Cry 2
Not a “landing” as such – you’re in a taxi, after all – but you do wind up with malaria.
5. Sonic 2 – Wing Fortress Zone (Genesis/Megadrive)
Well of course it qualifies. What part of “your biplane gets turbo-lasered right under your feet” sounds tedious to you?
(Feel free to post your own lists.)
