Diablo II or RTCW. Anything with cinematics that's engaging and feels like the opening of a film gets my vote.

When it came out, Syndicate (Bullfrog/EA) had a really impressive intro. It still ranks as one of my favorites.

Going back to the 8-bit days, the opening of Ninja Gaiden sticks with me even today. DOA XBV's is pretty fun to look at, too.

All of those are good intros, but I still like the intro to DOAX.

Whoa, yes, I can't believe I forgot all those Lucas Arts adventure games. The intros are usually pretty amusing. Way ahead of its time.

Bermuda Syndrome had a cool intro. I guess it's a kinda rare game now so if you missed it well it contains air combat, a thumping soundtrack, a t-rex being decapitated by an old 1940's fighter plane and a topless chick, woohoo!

totally agree.
that is still the most memorable intro to any game i´ve ever played.
i was, however, a little disappointed when all of the games graphics weren´t as spectacular... but hey, that would be a little difficult huh.

1) FF8 - Great intro. Great music. It had great foreshadowing of some of the major players in the game. The way everything was blended together was amazing and to this day I still love it.

2) FFX - The intro helped me fuel my fire for the game. The intro left me with so many questions and made me want to have them answered by getting to that point in the game. Plus the music just fits the tone of that scene perfectly



Don't mind me, just a Final Fantasy/Square fanboy

Oh, I forgot about FFX! Man, that game has an insanely awesome intro/beginning sequence. The entire time that you're in Zanarkand (I think that's what it's called, been a LONG time since I played that game) at the beginning it's just badass after badass because you're with Auron. Great music too; it doubles as the end-boss music, which was equally as badass.

FF VIII - great scenematics, great music.
Tekken 3 - awesome intro, it got me ready to play the game.
Metal Gear Solid (PSOne and PS2) - both games had an amazing intro.
Gran Turismo 1, 2, 3
*1 - to see so many cars in a game got me excited
*2 - to see more cars than the first one
*3 - to see the intro made out of in game graphics, i almost ejaculated.
