i say metroid prime intros nothing beats this music(especially in echoes and corruption) it's like movie intros which is great.

Definitely Tekken 5!!!

This is just so god dman amazing. Love it.

Lost Odyssey

i read his book "the death of the west " great book but i prefer Mark Steyn book "America Alone" same subject but mark is hilarious..

Lost odyssey. Damn.. now I want to play that game again. :D

Killzone 2 intro was pretty sweet , So was the Tekken 5 and Onimusha 3 intro.

Super smash bros brawl. Great song, etc

Top 4:
1- Chrono Cross (Scars of Time is EPIC)
2- Final Fantasy VII
3- Final Fantasy VIII (this horrible game doesn't deserve such a great intro)
4- Silent Hill II

and such a great story, such a great characters, such a great music, such a great ending, such a great gameplay, such agreat graphics, such a great cgi scenes , etc.

The train ride from Half Life. No sitting back watching movies and introductions. You're straight in control and will remain in control for the entire game, there will be no cut scenes.

I've always loved this aspect of the both the game and the opening vs all other titles. The fact the train trip perfectly sets up the mood of the game, establishes your location and contains a slew of great little moments including your first view of the G-Man as well as introducing who you are and why you're there is fantastic.

I'll also give Half Life bonus points for the Hazard Course level it came with, which let you play a very amusing level first to get to grips with the controls, all in the same setting and maintaining a complete level of immersion.
