Whats Your Favorite Video Game Intro

The Myth 2 intro. You relive the final moments of Myth 1, quotes abounding:
"Soulblighter is here! Our scouts are dead!"
"Indeed Alric. I bet you thought you'd seen the last of me."
"Kill him! KILL HIM!"

And then, as the brave, doomed dwarf hurls the severed head of Balor into the great devoid, and everything in the vicinity is obliterated by the ensuing eruption of energy, Alric wakes up from his nightmare - and on his bedpost, a solitary crow sits, staring at him with a single, glowing red eye. Cut to the Myth 2 main theme. Goosebumps all the way up and down my arms and back. And I love crows. They're such cool birds.

Dear god yes.  I am humbled by your bungie fanboyism  

[Avs]

Yes Soulblighter. Myth had a great great story line. And then Myth2 and the rest had a better one!

homeworld : the music was just awesome
NWN : minotaur falls, gets boo boo
pac-man : that marriage intermission. because it meant you holy crap owned at that game.

[Diablus]

I thought Pacman never ended?

you know they're going to do something like that in mgs 3, right?

you know snake halo jumping into the jungle in the mgs3 trailer looks a lot like snake halo jumping into the jungle in the original metal gear?

When I said "something like that" I meant some weird twist involving some place other than the jungle and someone other than snake.

It's entirely possible

Intro to Dawn of War is pretty freaking awesome. Anyone who ever played warhammer 40k, or who just like RTS, I suggest checking this one out.

[Necrosis]

It really didn't push my buttons, and I've been in the hobby for 17 years.

Yeah, it came out today too. My friend bought it, so I'm gonna check it out (I did play the beta a bit, but didn't get too into it).

[Reasa]

Empire Earth has the best intro by far.

You got that cool scene right off the bat with the Captain of the English ship just owning the French ship.

Then there’s an awesome ambush scene with WWII tanks.

And that scene from the future is awesome to.

All around awesomeness.

[Doobie Dan]

wacky wheels pwns all. The way the game works is you run over hedgehogs, and shoot them at your opponents to knock them off the track, then you drive your gocart by them, an try to get first.

the intro just follows one particularly gifted shot as he aims his way through the course, FOER TEH WIN!

Biggest.  MarioKart ripoff.  Ever.

I'd have to agree with FF8, but you all forgot ZERO WING!   :lol:

[lolfighter]

Zero Wing is not "cool" per se, but definitely a classic. Before you throw a tantrum, let me elaborate: The intro is so campy that it's actually good. Had it been LESS campy, it'd just have sucked and nobody would've given a damn.
And to my surprise, the game's not half bad.

[-Lancer-]

There's a lot for me, but I'd probably say FF8 - the music is incredible and the flashed imagery was done very well I think, especially as a preview of what's to come later in the game (though I didn't like the game itself much at all).

[snapback]29207[/snapback]

Yay athena, we have teh same tastes!

Best part of the FF8 intro was the fight betweeen squall and seifer <3

[Malevolent]

Yes the FF8 intro was pretty sweet and showed a significant jump in quality I might add.

[Doobie Dan]

Yep, another Square game which started amazing then dropped off towards the end...

[Seth]

Rome Total War!

[Malevolent]

I was wondering about that game Seth. It seem like it could be good, although I wasn't a huge fan of Shogun.
