Final Fantasy X

In this opening things start dark and a character comes into view but very quickly things change and they get more intense as a large monster heads towards the city and the character. This is brilliant in a trailer because it grabs the viewers attention as it is not every day a giant monster destroys a city.

Mass Effect

In this you see a character but you hear other character’s voices talking about someone and discussing what they are going to do. this is a good example of a game opening sequence because it makes the viewer question who is talking and what is going on but the player must play the game to understand the dialog at the begging.
