I can't come up with a bigger list but the Dawn of War intro movie is the coolest ever.

[Shadow NX 1]

Ring of Red for Ps2 had a simple but fascinating intro,

WW2 footage of assaulting troops combined with giant mechs who march with them... weird but looked pretty cool

[Chip 0]

Red Alert. That was awesome.

Which Version of the FL Movie, the Alpha one before the game or the final one?

Edit: Watch the Alpha Version here (Has nothing to do with the game since it was edited for final)

Recently, some awesome CG intro movies hit my eyes

There are 3 CG intro movies from Lineage 2 , they are really wondefull.

those can be found in this website (look for the word cinematic to recognize them on that page)

On the same genre, the downloadable CG intro movie from the World of Warcraft game is awesome too.

You can find it from there

I play none of those games, but their CG intro are really superb.

By the way, here's the intro movie for Dawn of War.

It's much better in fullscreen but it gives you the hint.

this is quite exceptionally good for being 11 years old (1994), but so is the whole game.

World of Warcraft

[Messiah 2]

have to agree with the command and conquer/red alert series as they are still hard to match when it comes to intros/cutscenes

Project: Firestart

Quote[/b] ]The memorable thing about Project: Firestart is the atmosphere. Creatures will appear out of nowhere, cut-scenes, while few, are very well-done, and violence and gore abounds.

I think I'll have to jump on the Red Alert bandwagon

[DracoPaladore 0]

I'll have to go for the Dawn of War one too, as well as Rome and Red Alert. The one for City of Heroes is pretty cool too.

Fallout 2 intro - very well done and set the mood of the game just perfectly.

[Colossus 2]

Battlefield 1942

Red Alert

[JdB 151]

Age of Empires/Age of Empires 2/Age of Mythology are pretty nice too....not the best ever, but nice....

[Placebo 29]

PES/WE

[nSe7eN 0]

Age of Empires/Age of Empires 2/Age of Mythology are pretty nice too....not the best ever, but nice....

I Agree with that!

+Return to Castle Wolfenstein.

Enemy Territory (The music) !

Fallout 2 intro - very well done and set the mood of the game just perfectly.

I'll have to agree with that!

"Hind" has a great intro too, it was excellent considering that the game is allready, like 9 years old.

[Winters 1]

Starfleet Command 2 & Metal Gear Solid are a couple that come to mind.

[kavoven 4]

First: OFP

The Freelancer one was pretty good, but just in english, in german it sounded strange...

Splinter Cell wasn't that bad either, altough that part 2 one is worse.

And the video of G-Police was really cool(all the videos in that game where cool)

*Checking games...*

Ah, I can add Ralley Trophy as the last good one I remember.

[Artak 0]

Red Alert is definitely the most memorable.

I don't play many games, but the ones I do I play a lot. So my vote would go to the AoE intro's. I just really like the fight sequences and such.

[shadow 6]

Jane's Longbow 1 & 2 and Gunship!

Pretty much anything where a Apache plays the leading role and wins

Like the mood in Longbow 1 alot. Calm and easy music while looking at a convoy moving slowly in a canyon. Then suddenly two Apaches bopping their FCR over a hilltop scanning the area. Music picks up pace while the Apaches engage the convoy.

Also love the part in the LB2 intro where there's a guy closing the hatch on a SA-8(?) right before a Hellfire hits

Also like Far Cry's intro where you see pretty much the whole game in fast backward and forward motion with a dreamy effect.

Lots of other nice intros for games. Too bad there are practically no rewarding endings worth a mention. Seems like its all about selling your product. As soon as you've bought it you're not earning the publishers any more money so they don't bother putting as much work in the ending.
