Here are a few of my favorite opening cinematics to video games. I wanted to make this about all openings (to movies, too) so I could include the amazing Star Trek (2009) intro, but since I couldn’t find a link to that one, we’ll stick with these amazing game cinematics. =)
Devil May Cry 3 Special Edition
BioShock
The Witcher
Final Fantasy XII

I think the best part of FFXII is its opening.
Are you saying you just really, really like the opening… or that you don’t really like the rest of the game?
:D Ambiguity, the killer or not killer!
Good call with Bioshock! That was an awe inspiring intro! Another good call with Star Trek. That had to best the open to any movie ever. At least in the top 5. It gives me chills every time I watch it.
About Star Trek’s opening… me too!! I love that it’s its own self-contained heroic story.
