 In my 20-something years of gaming I've seen and played my share of games, but one intro I'll never forget is from the PSOne game called Soul Blade (Soul Edge in Japan). I don't know if it was because of the CG (at the time it was awesome) or the fact that I had never seen a song ('Edge Of Soul') that could so beautifully match the video and the atmosphere of the game...

 Here's the link case you've missed it: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=A8ppOitQl5g

 Let us know which your favorite intro is !!!

well.........tekken DR has a nice CG intro that really hypes you up to play the game (psp version, but i'm assuming it's also on the downloadable version for ps3).

Either Metal Gear Solid 2 or Metal Gear Solid 3.

MGS2 has an awesome opening song and the video perfectly matches.

MGS3 is a tribute to old James Bond movies and that i like.

It's a hard choice.

Some fighting games have awesome intros, the Tekken series, the Soul Calibur series and the DBZ Budokai series among others, but my favorite intro in a game is Onimusha 3... it feels more like a movie than an intro: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=B1zFrdJ-i1I

The MGS 2 opener was heart pumping and great as was the one for MGS 1 but I have to go with the intro for Killzone " ..My people..." men, that was an awesome speech. The one for MotorStorm is very satisfying too.

I remember Soul Blade's intro as it was one of my favorites as well.  I think for me, it was mainly the song that did it for me.  That was my favorite but all of the Soul Calibur games have had really memorable intros for me.

FF VI... Not much to say here other than it was very different compared to other RPG's of it's time.  It somehow built up some excitement for the game.

FF VIII had a beautiful intro that still remains one of my all time favorites... It not only had memorable music that was in sync with what was going on but also had elements of the story that showed up later on in the game. (ie: "I'll be waiting... For you... So... If you come.  You will find me.  I promise.")

FF Tactics was memorable to me mainly because of the music and over all it just set the mood.  You just knew you were in for something truly epic.

And yeah, I have one more Final Fantasy as a favorite into... FF XII was really enjoyable to me.  A bit on the long side but it really pulled me in.

Xenogears... It was short but seemed very powerful to me for some reason.  For it's time, it was well polished and again set the mood for what was to become something truly special.

While I didn't really care for the game too much, I loved the Kingdom Hearts intro.  Valkyrie Profile 2(simply beautiful all around) and SMT Digital Devil Saga, Chrono Cross are a few more that come to mind.  I just enjoyed the music.  I guess for me, it's more about the music than the visuals.

Even though I ended disliking the game the intro to FF VIII still to this day is the best game intro ever. I'll explain. As some of you may recall the Dreamcast came out on the same day as FF VIII which was 9/9/99. Because of that of course I had to put FF VIII on hold for a bit until I got to play my brand new system. Well I had a friend over who had gotten his own copy of the game and had barely started it. He convinced me to watch the intro and when I did we didn't stop playing the game until about 12 hours later.
