Best/Worst Beginnings

[Deleted]

I always liked the start of the Half-life games. Shame the rest of the game becomes so tedious.

I liked Morrowind's intro, paperwork is where its at.

Worst: Kingdom hearts two. May not be the worst I have ever played. However, it was still pretty lame. I was convinced that I was going to be playing as Roxas for the rest of the game.

Worst is pretty much any Legend of Zelda 3D game, it always takes ages to get into, and it usually scares me off before I ever get to the real action. I've given Ocarina of Time countless chances, but I just can't get into it. Twilight Princess's beginning was also hideous, took forever to get out of wolf form the first time and such.

Super Metroid and Metroid Prime's beginnings are really cool, simply because they take you right into the action from the get go, the first boss of each of those games are in like the first 10 minutes of gameplay (Parasite Queen might be a little further than that).

You cant seriously say the beginning of Super Mario Bros is the best beginning....
And its only memorable because you've played it like 50 million times.

It's memorable for the same reason that songs like Imagine are memorable. Not only is it well made, but ever since its release it gave gaming (music in Imagine's case) a whole new meaning.
