Mona Sax from max payne 2, she is not the mian player character but you do control her for a chapter and she is mind blowingly awesome. She kicks Max's ass around and is much more than just a shoehorned in love interest.

If you are thinking of naming GTA as the answer, we mean the heroine with and "E" at the end. The best double X chromosome protagonist of a game. Not a side kick, not an intermittent companion, but the main lady of the story.

Who is, according to you, one of the best leading female characters that has ever appeared in a video game? And what do you think makes a heroine memorable?

Two of my favourites: Zoey Castillo, from The Longest Journey: Dreamfall.
Intelligent, resourceful and absolutely humane. And April Ryan, from both of the Longest Journey games, the original and the sequel.

Your turn now...
I'll agree with you as far as April Ryan... but to be honest, Zoe was kind of a dumb *****... I'm sorry you had to find out this way...

Alyx is a sorta looker, but she has personality. And, the girl in Zeno Clash sorta has one... but, the bad voice acting through out the game stopped it short from her having one.
Bad Jimmy! No!

*smacks JimmyBassatti on the nose with a rolled-up newspaper*

Deadra ("Zeno Clash Girl's" name) was a horrible female character, and not just because of her atrocious voice acting. She had no personality and on top of that it was never explained who she was, what her relationship with Ghat is and, here's the important one, why the player should care about her at all.

As the game went on I actually started to loathe her because she was so badly written.

On the complete opposite side of the spectrum, however, I have to venomously agree with the OP and say that April Ryan is probably one of the better female protagonists out there in gaming and personally my favorite in any game to date.

Jen Mui from Mercenaries. I know she's kinda like what Yahtzee said about Americanized Laura Croft, but that's OK because that makes her the same as the other two Mercs. She's not over-sexed in the slightest, and she loves her some explosions.

She's the most bad-ass female game character that doesn't have Laser weaponry.

how has no one said Faith she was ace, an actual female lead who is a talking, running, jumping, kick ass female on her own, no magic or gay suits that make her look like an inverted man with balls on her shoulders.

Fem Shepard from Mass Effect.

For the simple reason that she is one of those few characters with an actual personality beyond 'Oh lookied, I got boobies!', has actual common sense and can use it and the game is not trying to distract us from story/gameplay with putting Shepard in less clothing than a string bikini and jamming the camera to her backside (like X-Blades) or chest (like 90% of the other games with a female protagonist).

Her voice acting isn't also made by torturing an innocent cat near a mike or strapping a 16 old girl to a chair and threatening her with a gun to make her read the lines.

Jade, Beyond Good & Evil... Anybody? Anybody at all? *sits in his corner*
A vote from me too. I love the fact that she goes against a mass of aliens armed with only a camera, her wits and a dai-jo staff. And she doesn't curse or try too hard to be 'cool'. Can't wait to play BG&E 2.
