MechWarrior 3. Nothing like some Mech action.

 

[SLU Aequitas]

Mechwarrior 3 and Freespace 1 were both awesome, however my favorite CGI openings would probably be I-War and Defiance, the first one in particular--14 minutes of awesome. Oh, and the games were amazing too

Devil May Cry 3 opening cutscene is the coolest, most hilarious and memorable:

thiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiis.


I remember as a kid, I used to recreate the beginning part of the intro with a friend....good times.

Yep. The Ninja Gaiden intro was awesome.

Someone linked Syndicate Wars above - another great one for a great game.

I've always loved the original Dungeon Keeper intro.

º Far Cry 2 - The in-game intro was good, I liked it, being cab-driven around the African environment, it set the mood well, unfortunately the rest is history.

I also thought this was a great intro....really did a good job of drawing you in to the story / environment.

I have to disagree with you on the "unfortunately" bit though - I still think it's a very good game.

Many good decisions, but my vote would go to Bioshock. I liked the plane sequence and I remember being blown away when you first get view of the undersea city and other marine life.

i content that the intros to Company of Heroes were absolutely chilling.

Especially the part after you complete the mission. can't find it on youtube, but it tries to show the devastation and mass of supplies the invasion brought.

I do like how it kind of shows you the whole game during the intro.

You don't realize it the first time.
