I'm not on about that cut scene or movie that appears at the start or those dodgy training missions, but when you first get control in game. When you finally get to play for the first time, what are the most memorable openings to a game?
My favourites:
Command & Conquer The classic C&C music kicks off, the rocket boat lets out a woosh and next thing a large BAAOOOMM, and your men are storming the beach. Had a real 'Yeah, lets get it on" feel.
Doom The original opening, soon as you pile through that door shooting and blow those oil drums up, music blaring and grunts dying in droves. By the end of the first level with the shotgun you is ready for more!
Thief: The Dark Project Do it properly, and the first guard you knock out is a accompanied by the sound of a piano rising (Crap description I know), making you so tense. The rest of the 1st level keeps that feeling and you finish it with your nerves shot!
