I really love the intro to MGS2 & 3, both feature snake jumping and landing in a cool manner :D

one of those metal of honor games on the PS2 (can't remember which one) . It doesn't have an intro, it just starts. No menu, no options screen, no nothing. It just goes straight from the EA logo into the game. I thought that was a nice surprise.

Awesome music, and I felt shivers when you see the'Hero of Time' appear (refering to the Link in Ocarina of Time/Majora's Mask).

Hmmm...FFXII.

The whole epic war-seige scene was bloody awesome.

Oddly enough, I found the actual game a complete let-down :(

Call of Duty 4 has a pretty cool intro movie. I know that the first few lines of it are:

"Fifty thousand people used to live here...now it's a ghost town." (referring to Chernobyl)

"Our so-called leaders prostituted us to the west. Destroyed our culture, our economy, our honor."

I think that's pretty cool.

my favorite intro to a game was bomerman for the dreamcast. i loved how he was dressed up as goku and shooting kamama's but with bombs instead of energy. it was worth reseting the game to watch it again. on a sidenote it was the only thing good about that bomerman game.

My top 3 would be

1. Legend Of Zelda The Wind Waker: A great opening to the game it told the story of the hero of time.

2.Resident Evil 4: Mine would have to be the beginning of the game. The opening part was great

3. Super Smash Bros Melee: The intro to the game was the intro showing Mario,Link,Pikachu and Kirby.

Mass Effect.

That intro was awesome.

And the music kicked anus.
Also, simply because it's the Battle of Helm's Deep, the third LOTR game.

Kingdom Hearts II.

And all Zelda intros are great, too. Especially Wind Waker's and Majora's Mask's.

I would actually have to say COD4 (if only because it is fresh in my mind). They way the game start out on the boat with you're team almost drowning as the boat hit with a missile. Then having to run to safety and almost barely jumping onto the back of the helicopter to safety. Then the credits roll and you watch first person of someone being abducted, tossed into the back seat of a car as you drive down the streets of a city being destroyed byterrorists only to get grabbed again, kicked in the head, tied to a post and in one of the best slow motion cinema scenes in a video game as the terrorist walks right up to you're face and shoots you in the head and everything goes black.... Then the game starts, Just awesome.

I'm amazed by some of the bad chioces people are listing.

Anyways, I personally think Final Fantasy VIII and Onimusha 3: Demon Seige take the cake.

Brothers In Arms: Road to Hill 30 is easily the best. The game opens up guns blazin while all of your squadmates are getting shot/blown up by tanks. I remember playing it and was just "Wow" afterwards.
