Mechwarrior 2 all the way!

Also, can people refrain to putting just a youtube link? I dont really want to trawl through loads of youtube vids, just a title would be grand.

Sonic CD Intro... because it was a) friggin' unexpected, and b) because it was just like the cartoon which I watched growing up.

I liked the intro to freelancer

At the time i thought the graphics were amazing

Check it out - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RsWPFUzxgRU (starts getting really good after 1min)

Also of course prey - best bit of the game imo

another vote for Final Fantasy VII Id waited so long for it.....but the PS3 tech demo version would have been even more incredible if I hadnt seen the original. If that makes sense.

WC3 & WOW had awsome intro's
Also Call of Duty 4 ship mission

I feel all nostalgic now

Dawn of war was amazing.
But Blizzard have been doing amazing intros for quite some time.
Diablo 2 and LOD were the first OMG CGI intro/cutscenes.
WoW and TBC both have very nice vids as well.

FFVIII.

I also reeeeeeeeeally love the intro music to Dynasty Warriors 2.

krooton · 2 Jun 2008 at 15:24

Mechwarrior 2
Quake 2
Dune 2
Warcraft 2
Syndicate Wars
UFO: Enemy Unknown

And my alltime fav:
Megaman 2

Original BF Intro, Sitting back watching that video I knew the game had what I wanted, Still play the game to this day & often kick back & watch the Intro just for the sheer hell of it :cool:

Red Alert 2 was so funny

"Is it done, Yuri?"
"No, Comrade Premier. It has only begun."

Yeah, although gameplay is rough going..I got stuck on the training mission attacking a destroyer (considering it constantly spits out homing mines its tricky).

holy **** i totally forgot I-War, that was AWESOME game, never did complete it, I-war 2 is pretty good too, has some cool cutscenes, the escape from the prison and stuff! another game i loved the intro, mechwarrior 3, that was immense! shame mechwarrior seems dead now
