The 18 Greatest Video Game Intros Ever

Submitted by: Colosus @ 09:56 AM | Tuesday, December 11, 2007 | (url: http://gamerhelp....)

Often times, it is a video gameÂ’s introduction that fires us up to the point where we want nothing more than to spend countless hours playing it in order to discover the game'Â’s true glory (or lack thereof). Here are 18 of the greatest game intros (with videos).

honestly these all kind of suck. most of these seem less like "Great entry videos" and more like some console kiddies "Games I liked that had entry videos"
Mario Strikers? honestly?

where's warhammer 40k? the GTA2 intro is better than most of these

I was going to mention that. That was an awesome intro. The ending cutscene is pretty damn good too.

They also forgot DoW which has one of the best openers ever.

BF1942 intro music (and video to an extent).

holy shit is that epic.

One of the other WWII shooters, one of the Call of Dutys' or Medal of Honors had a pretty kickass intro.

Starcraft and broodwar both had some epic intros.

The black bars look like separators, so it seems like the video is under the game's title and description, instead of above it (which is the case). Bad design.

What about Warhammer 40k's Dawn of War? The first one, that one is pretty bad ass

I liked BF2's intro video as well.


I'm glad to see Vagrant Story made that list. Although, the real 'intro' to that game was much better than the title screen shit with the belly dancer.
