OK. See, what I'd like to happen here is if you tell me what you think the best video game intro is and maybe post a video of the intro if you can.

Here's my opinion. Soul Blade.

My favorite I think must be the MUA intro: http://www.gametrailers.com/player/12468.html

And btw, since when could Cervantes rip off his face?

Soul Calibur II & III: OMGWTFORGASM

Tekken 4/5/DR: F*cking Awesome

Kingdom Hearts 1 & 2: Just Beautiful

Others I can't think of at the moment...too exhausted...sad...etc.

ESB -1138
Super Mario Bros has the best intro

Impediment
The opening scene to the Darkness was awesome.

AstroFan
RE4

Yeah, mine too.

Really was amazing the first time playing it. Was a very effective way to make the world feel alive and real.

I also really enjoy Half Life 2's, just wandering around the city seeing the combine abusing everyone.

Spartan005
Rainbow Six 3 hands down. Although it really had nothing to do with the plot for the game... it was just awesome. The graphics, the music, everything was amazing.

Estacado
I love the Bioshock intro...

InnerRise
Final Fantasy X-2.

Anata wa wakarimasu ka.....

Evil Dead
MK Deception. great intro.........best part of the game.

Victor Von Doom
Was that the one where some guy walks down a...carpet, towards some other guy? Then they fight and that.

Obviously I've described it in much greater detail than necessary.

I do too.

Seeing that Strider walk around, and then looking up and seeing this massive Citadel. It was amazing.

But nothing beats HL.

One problem that I had was that I didnt play HL until atleast the 2nd year it came out. I wonder how that felt when it first came out.

I do love that intro also.

There's something about the walk to Narshe that's really magical. Sets the tone of the game really well, or something, I dunno.

But I remember while playing it for the first time, that walk to Narsh, with the music, and feeling like I was already playing one of the best games ever.

I love FF4's intro. It gives you a lot of insight to Cecil.

World of Warcraft big grin

Possibly Warcraft 3: Reign of Chaos smile

What about the Final Fantasy X-2 intro though?

I will say this again like i did in the last thread like this: Warhammer 40,000: Dawn of War
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SFkFo5SBx-g
Warhammer:Mark of Chaos comes pretty close for me:

Superboy Prime
I think Resident Evil 2's intro is among the very best.

GOD OF WAR !!!

Super Mario 64 has the BEST intro ever. It set the entire plot of the game. Mario just doesn't wonder to the location he needs to be in like everyone else does but Mario is going to get some cake. I clapped during that intro it was so great; it had everything, action, drama, suspense, comedy, and a plot twist.

ragesRemorse
you all have forgot the onimusha series, all of the onimusha games have incredible openings but 3 is astounding. I havent seena a game on PS3 or 360 with an opening as graphically impressive as onimusha 3 yet. ITs not the sharpest version but....http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5-zP0ZLLV5E

i also have to mention warhammer mark of chaos http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Tumcv6KmVWk

Of course my favorite though, best sprots intro EVER NHL 2000 http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6yuSRiFuTsE&mode=related&search=

also, mortal kombat shaloin monks, marvel ultimate alliance

Evil Dead
While Final Fantasy 6 (or 3 on snes) is my second favorite game of all time behind Zelda : OoT, I hate that intro. It's too god damned long. You have to sit there 10 minutes before you can play.........the ending isn't any better, you get to watch 10 minutes of everybody escaping .....then another 10 minutes of them returning to towns.......then credits (which look sweeeet for the time) for each character.
