Good one, the real MW2. I was always a fan of MW2: Mercenaries. You're out of time, I'm not paid enough to die!
Ahh, God bless you guys. Mechwarrior ftw.

As far as intros go, it's repetitive but Bioshock's unbeatable. I played it for approximately five minutes after the opening sequence, there was no way in hell I was going to be able to identify with someone who injected comically massive needles into themselves. But the intro was utterly fantastic.

No doubt about it. The music, the art style, the scenes. They all fit together without spoiling the game and it's story!

[sub][sub]though, my opinion might be slightly biased, as it is my favourite game of all time...[/sub][/sub]

Gears of War 2's opening. As terrible as the story was, the chairman's speech was pretty damn epic.

What was so special about Bioshock? How about the MGS games or some of the Ace Combat games. Of course it's all personal preference but i really didn't see the big deal about Bioshock. Apart from when you're swimming up to those stairs outside the entrance to Rapture and from afar it looks like some psycho standing there but it's just a shadow. That was cool.

Yeh I agree. Bioshock was pretty tame for an opener.

Metal Gear Solid 2 and Onimusha 3 had awesome openings. Of course by MGS2 I mean the tanker opening not the big shell.

I really really really love the opening from Ys VI: The Ark of Naphtism :)

-YT snip-
Release of the far west ocean was an amazing song that made the intro of that game for me.

As for my personal choice, the Star Ocean2 remake for the PSP had an amazing intro (or rather, intros)


The Final Fantasy XII intro was also amazing to me.

Hard to say one best opening...there are several that do a fantastic job of making me want to play the game.

Ninja Gaiden 1 and 2 for NES do a fantastic job mostly due to the music

Tales of Symphonia had me watching the intro nearly every time I booted up the game after my first play through when I could appreciate each sequence all the more.

Shadow of the Colossus: The Music and Atmosphere in that opening gave me Shivers, and Still does.
Another mention would be The Opening to Metroid Prime, Samus makes the leap into 3D and it was very cool.

Ahhh! There are so many. But I have to choose the Chrono Cross intro, just because of the music.

The opening cinematics for Warhammer 40,000, Civilization IV and Borderlands are all pretty cool.
