Best intro in PC game you've seen?

What game has the most memorable or otherwise most impressive intro you've seen in a PC game?

i'd have to say Diablo II. it's still pretty epic.

e: insert a link if possible.

sry, can't use direct links yet.

Without a doubt Mass Effect 2.

I really like the intro of Warcraft 3 frozen throne :http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mVSJb58kga4

Also the Mandate of heaven intro :http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1Zfn4RXj2BA

I probably like few more but these are the ones that popped up into my mind currently

I really enjoyed Bioshocks opening intro.

The Witcher and Mass Effect 2 come to my mind.

Pretty much any into to a Blizzard game. I thought the Wrath of the Lich King intro was pretty epic.

World of Warcraft, Mass effect 2 and Bioshock.

I really enjoyed Bioshocks opening intro.

The ending was far too short. I was expecting some sort of 15 minute movie lol. Heck the last level was short and easy as well.

Mechwarrior 2/3

DoW

Witcher

The opening in Quake 4 is cool .

Jungle Strike (CD version) I thaught it was very cool back in the day.

For console intros and probably my favorite intro of all time id have to go with Road Avengers on the Sega CD.

witcher

Dawn of War 2 http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4UkZr9iY2Jg

Its not a intro but the Dragon Age: Origins trailer is amazing. http://store.steampowered.com/app/17450/
I still havnt played the game becauseI know it will never be as good as the trailer and I will be disapointed.

Borderlands

Race Driver Grid

Left 4 Dead 2- "This Used To Be a NICE Neighbourhood!"

Mass Effect 2

and last but most definitely not least. Because we all know, War never changes.

Fallout 2

Dawn Of War

The Witcher

Oblivion

[QUOTE="dakan45"] Indeed it was really good, sadly the rest of the game does not posses equal moments, especially the ending. Anyway, apart from that, perhaps mass effect.dakan45

half life 1

Bioshock and it was the only good part about that game basically

everything blizzard has done with WoW, Warcraft, SC, Diablo

I personally like the intro to Dawn of War the Dark Crusade

Mass Effect 2 intro should win a golden globe it looked like a movie too me. :lol:....that whole game felt like a movie more than a game to me >_>

And the Age of Chivilary

WoW burning Crusade

Fallout Beautiful, depressing atmosphere

NHL99 Never liked EA sports much, but this seems to be an exception

Unreal II: The Awakening Excellent music here by Jeremy Soule, and rather trippy visuals if I do say so myself.

Half-Life 2 Spooky; metaphysical.

Diablo 2, Warcraft 3, Half Life 2, Mass Effect

Gotta say Oblivions intro, sent chills down my spine the first time I turned it on. When the music kicks in and the Bethesda Studios presents comes up.Elder Scrolls games have that effect on me :P

Mass Effect 2 intro was epic

Warcraft 3 + TFT

Unreal: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FxfbtOUgFFY

-I will still say to this day that the musical scores for the Unreal series is deviant from the various games out there.

Bioshock 2: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sWpSjD1QIlw

- The behavior from apprehension(rapidly increased heart rate and trembled hands) from the Big Daddy as he kneeled helplessly with the pistol in his hand to shoot himself was remarkable. Artistically, Bioshock is an absolute juggernaut.

Ultima Online: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rBeA6JHkV1I

- Well done narrative.

Mafia: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jKsaJe2zKSo

- Great camera angles, and an overall good impression of an ambitious game.

Any intro involving World of Warcraft.

My Two Personal Picks For The Best Intro's in Videogaming:

Zelda Ocarina of Time: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3avXA-S4NrU

-Seeing this intro again made me nearly cry, I never felt emotions like this among Video games. It really feels and more importantly present video games with its own identity.

It's so difficult to appreciate current games when I know deep down that there was a time when video games were much better, but I really do try control my feelings towards today videogames to make a good atmosphere for new people playing videogames or gamers who never had a similar experience.

Super Mario 64: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NvAMXFVP3gQ

-A short duration, but a very effective intro. The synergy in the sounds, musical score and flythrough camera is fantastic. At this period in time you could catch on that video games were becoming incredibly ambitious with the new transition into a 3D space.

Dungeon Keeper 2 Intro

Both Mass Effects and Red Alert 2

BF Heroies entrance is up there for some reason
