Left 4 Dead had the coolest intro that I can think of. in a story with no plot save what you piece together on your own, it is all the more awesome.
Your Favorite Game opening/intro
- Thread starter Steven Biehler
- Start date
The first Parasite Eve game.
The main character gets out of a car at a theatre in New York...
You walk inside, and the REAL intro starts; a cheesy, over the top dramatic opera. The female lead on stage starts singing and people start bursting into flames.
Wait, WHAT?
She's still fucking singing with her mouth closed?
What's going on? Why is the protagonist unaffected? Where did she pull that gun from?
Old graphics or not, it still classes as one of my favourite openings ever... The scene and mood are just completely pulled out from underneath your feet, watchin people (even late 90's plasticine-FMV people) as they respond to being burnt alive is harrowing >>

Wild Arms.
If I remember correctly, this actually plays before the title screen, not when you actually start the game. I'd say that still qualifies as the intro, though, even though it doesn't lead straight to gameplay.
As for actual "leads into gameplay" intro, I'd go with Chrono Trigger. It's nice and peaceful, and it really sets the mood for the first five-twenty minutes of gameplay.

Uncharted 2.
Nothing compares. I've had all my friends play that level. Even the ones who weren't gamers. And they were all completely gone into the game by the time the first level was over. After a while I had to ask them if they intended to try and play the whole game right in front of me.
