There's no denying this intro. If we didn't stipulate "rock" this might make it in at number one. But, let's face it - if you're not pedantic about what "rock" means, this intro most definitely does. Though there's not a hint of guitar, and the lower drum-fueled tempo is more of a groove than a scorcher, its quality is beyond denial.

If only the whole game had been this good. Watching it before every play session was a fantastic way to motivate yourself for the tedious slog! Oh well.

I love the Silent Hill intro for life. It's always been a fav (hell they all pretty much rule.)
But what about the Sonic CD intro?
That was pretty boss.
Other than that great list.

No Onimusha 3 Intro? It should have been #1 by far. It is the best non MGS video to date. The ending video to Onimusha 1 was amazing too, but thats a different list.

Maybe should have traded out the Silent Hill intro for Wild ARMs intro or FF8 intro and called it Top 7 Japanese Intros or Top 7 Anime Intros.
Damn it! Now I'm all pumped up from all those rawking intros! Now I'm going to be up all night and tuckered out all day tomorrow.

The music from the first one makes me want to kill the shit out of Dracula. And some Medusa Heads. Those mother fuckers.

Key word here is "Rockin'," guys. In the musical sense. Not necessarily the awesome sense. Yes, the Silent Hill and Onimusha 3 intros were badass, but were they set to bitchin' hair-metal riffs and wailing guitars? No, they were not. Therefore they failed to rock in the manner defined by this article.

ZOMGWTFBBQ AND MOAR LETTERS!!! That Tales of The Abyss intro was freaking EXTRA-MUSICIZICAL-RIFFIC! Man I need that game with a damn passion now. I am kind of dissapointed the Eternal Eyes intro was missing. But, i guess it doesn't quailify as "rockn'". Too bad.

Command and Conquer: Red Alert had Hell March as the intro! HELL MARCH!!! I always used the C&C jukebox to play this song while tank rushing! It was the best.

Needs moar Custom Robo. Its intro is both completely badass and has some pretty neat music. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=O5rM5PyHXlI

Also the Drakengard 2 intro. Kind of along a different vein than what the article is going for here, but it's certainly worth a watch. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ejyf9cMYShY
