Favorite Opening Cinematic To A Game?

After all these years, the one game intro that has stuck with me is Soul Blade on the original PlayStation.  Next would be the opening for Metal Gear Solid 2.  Harry Gregson Williams outdid himself on that soundtrack!

I second the Parasite Eve intro!

Also who can forget the Epic Ninja Gaiden II intro with voices by shredder and the pimply teenager dude from the Simpsons?

And then there's Blaster Master the classic story about a big and his frog.

That classic tale of a boy and his frog.
Damn that was fun.

Parasite Eve has great cinematics throughout. But you guys are right, the pre-menu cinematic trailer and that opening opera scene really does grab you.

thing i love about this is it shows you the whole city then pans down straight into the game. first time i saw this i was amazed and sat there waiting for it to carry on. i didnt realize i was not in the game.
