6. Ghost in the Shell (PlayStation, 1997)
Some games have intros so good that they're famous for them. Ghost in the Shell shipped shortly after the original movie, well before the series' recent explosion in popularity - and the takeover of game systems by anime-licensed software. So most people just ignored it.
Surprisingly, the game is actually very good - much better than later GITS games. It's best-remembered by many hardcore PlayStation fans, however, thanks to its sexy, action-packed intro. We'd maybe rank this one higher, but the mayhem takes place to a thumping techno beat, not balls-out guitar licks. Still, we can't exclude it based on a technicality.

Tekken lead Katsuhiro Harada says he's spent decades "mentally preparing" for AI to overtake humans, but it's not happening: "If AI had really advanced, we wouldn't be pouring 10, 20, 30 billion Yen into making games"
Super Smash Bros. creator says instead of making more "Americanized works," Japanese devs should "seek the uniqueness and fun of Japanese games"
