Gundato: Either Dawn of War or the first Freespace.

Those two.
The intro for the original I-War (Independence War) also deserves mention... 15 minutes of CGI, IIRC. Great stuff too.
Beyond Good and Evil!
The intro is like ten minutes long, but there's some gameplay mixed in. Also, it's amazing.
Some more:
Soul Calibur 2 (Game Cube)
Tekken 4
Virtua Fighter 5
Panzer Dragoon Saga
Burning Rangers
Last Bronx

Is best overall for great script great voice acting and for having the best vampires ever. Also the only game series I could probably be called a fanboy for.
other contenders:

Overlooked gem. Nexus should be on GOG.

Wait, I forgot. This is obviously the best intro ever.

I love this simply because of nostalgia, and the fact that its so damn cool.

I actually had that game for the megadrive. Was pretty surprised when i found it had become such a horribly virulent meme.

Trubadour music!
I liked the intro and the cutscenes in Call of Duty: United offensive
And the intro of the original Call of Duty is quite good aswell.
can't really find it, and it's not really an intro but the part where you first enter butcher bay in chronicles of riddick, where the dude leads you to the delousing chamber.
so ... pretty ...

Watch it! It's very long, but trully awesome. Keep in mind that everything is made in Quake 2 engine. Too bad this game is almost forgotten by players.
I haven't watched all the intros posted here yet, but I am gonna declare everybody wrong anyway.
This is the real Best Game Intro, no contest
