Favourite Opening To A Game?

How a game begins is extremely important to me so im wandering what is your favourite opening scene or introduction to a game on the PS3?

 

I love the opening cinematic from Dead Space 1 when your in the spaceship and you see the USG Ishimura for the first time, its a gorgeous cinematic they made space look pretty :smileyhappy:

 

I didnt know alot about the game when i bought it but the beginning cutscene really got me interested.


Currently Playing: FIFA 13 / DARK SOULS / BURNOUT PARADISE

I'm not sure it's my favourite intro, but one that always sticks in my mind is Ultima VI on the C64 - very impressive for the time.

 

Although, I have to agree Dead Space 1 intro is particularly good.  Doesn't prepare you for the horror you are about to experience in the slightest though!

i thought Deus EX - human revolution had a cool intro, i know thats a recent game, had it as a free download being a PS+ memeber, can't play it now tho as it's expired lol. kinda fizzled out though as it went on Tbh, too many choices lol

 

it had a jaw-drop wow factor which i haven't had in a while for an intro to a game..

The intro to uncharted 2. Absolutely epic and really got me excited to get started with the game.

I agree, the opening can make a game for me. Some of them start off interesting but painfully slow (Kingdom Hearts) and others are just like insane action right off the bat (God of War). 

I WOULD say MGS4 just for pure cinematic value but I really like the Ratchet A Crack in Time opening for some reason, I mean it explains the backstory well but in a funny and entertaining way, introduces the characters well and really make it accesible to both long time fans and newcomers which is good direction IMO.
