favorite shmup intro

for me it's mars matrix. the music and cg are just all so great. makes me wanna....shoot things. close second is the one for einhander. i like the way the narator sounds....all dark an' mysterious. then the action kicks in. and third would be the intro to gradius 4. i love the design of the vic-viper an' it just looks so damn slick an' sexy in that intro movie. what are your fave, guys?

Curious....this sounds like one of the titles from the line of $9.99 games....is it?

Hmm, I can't really think of one definitive intro.

RayStorm's has nice visuals and music, I guess. Probably the best part about that game.

I really like the intros in Mars Matrix, Pulstar and Raystorm.

Cinematic, fast-paced and accompanied by some good music.

The Sega CD Silpheed. The music and ship launching sequence were fantastic.

Gigawing 2's and Silpheed: The Lost Planet.

UN Squadron.

Of course! How could I forget?

UN Squadron's is pretty good as well, at least musically.

I liked the text.

"Only a madman would take this mission. . .

Lucky they found me!"

I like the takeoff scene in Progear

"Get ready for a trip to hell."
