Haha, Anti- Air Credits. Still this makes me want to play that game again. And the second one's single player. Since I wanna know why it wasn't over.
Good point about the vehicle segments. I notice it doesn't apply to third person shooters though. You start both Mass Effect games in a space ship and leave it conscious. Though admittedly you leave the ship in ME2 before it lands and presumably lose consciousness then, but you still get to leave the ship first.
Trying to think of more examples, but all that comes to mind are Gears of War 2, except thats not in the intro, and those guys never get knocked unconscious. In fact I'm not sure they sleep, they just keep going until they die in some really ridiculous fashion. Unless they wear a helmet and have enough brothers to be there to die in future sequels, in which case they die suddenly and in the most pathetic way possible. Here's hoping Dom gets eaten by space worms after he avenges his wife or whatever, and the next Carmine takes his place as the co-op guy, and kills a millions guys before he goes.
Dang, now I gotta play that game too. I have to vent all this excess nostalgia, it's exceeding healthy dosages.
