11 Powerful Video Game Opening Sequences That Gave You Chills

3. Being A Heavy Metal Fan's Dream Come True - Brütal Legend

Brütal Legend can easily take the cake for having the single-greatest opening sequence of all time... it's just a shame the rest of the game completely fails when it came to maintaining that momentum.

I mean, if you're into all things hard rock and heavy metal, having main-man Eddie Riggs get transported into a world that feels like a thousand heavy metal album covers come to life, then to see him wield his guitar and continue to slay foes with the power of guitar riffs as Black Sabbath played in the background, well... fiction just doesn't get much better.

Following this you'll learn how to play super powerful guitar solos and build hot rods, before blazing down a flame-licked highway with Motörhead backing you up - the entire sequence ending with Eddie lopping the head off a giant worm while screaming, "Decapita-SHANNNN".

Bliss.
