Best game intro cinematic.

[Yudas]

Having just bought the splinter cell trilogy as I needed a nie dose of stealth I was reminded of how cool some intro cinematics are.

An intro cinematic, if done right, can really suck you in and set the tone for the gaming to come. Which games have the best intro cinematics.

This one is from Splinter Cell.

The music and the pacing together really make for an intense trailer. Its a bit overly patriotic perhaps, but thats to be expected from a Clancy game I guess.

Dawn of War intro was great shame every game after that had a totally naff intro.

This.

The original Dawn of War intro was absolutely amazing. I still watch it from time to time.

there are four splinter cells

L4Ds intro is very good, and I quite like CoD4s as well...

Devil May Cry 4.

This.

The original Dawn of War intro was absolutely amazing. I still watch it from time to time.

Also this:

Original Dawn of War intro was so inspiring. Captured the essence of 40k perfectly.

I agree. Five years later, it still amazes me.

Rise of Nations: Rise of Legends. It's just epic.

For the time, Blizzard made excellent cinematics for their games

Fallout 1 & 2 both had awesome intros, and that's about all I can come up with at the moment...

Edit: Hhm, got kinda semi-ninja'd there...

If Valve ever made a Left 4 Dead movie I hope they do it all in CG like the intro and write the script in house..
