My Top 5 video game ending credits.

These are my favorite credits sequences of all time. I might be missing some awesome favorites, but I'm doing these from memory. I will be doing openings and endings soon as well. I've always wanted to do Top 5's on these, but because they are so visual, I'm putting them on the Blog.

HM. Devil May Cry 3 - Awesome awesome awesome. And you get to fight through the credits. Just edged out Flower in this spot.



5. Portal - We all know it. We all love it. Many are anti-hype and say they don't love it. But they do.



4. Okami - Just a beautiful credits sequence to a very beautiful game.



3. God Hand - Too awesome for words.



2. Super Mario World - God I love what they did here. After they credit all the people who worked on the game, they reintroduce all the enemies and characters in the game. Very similar to another game I almost put on here, but realized it was so awesome I needed to wait and put it on my favorite endings ever.



1. Final Fantasy 8 - Brilliant really. I wasn't in love with the story of this game or its ending, but the sequence they do during the credits is perfect. I love it.

before i scrolled down i was thinking "will he post ff8's ending?", you didnt let me down, best way to see it end, the characters getting together and cheering about it.

GTA4: TLAD ending credits.

I really liked these and was disapointed Brad didn't watch them. I love how it plays out Nikos story, and shows how close he was to Johnny at times yet they only met twice. I shows the kinship of the 2 characters, who tried so hard to make their world right, but in the end it all falls to crap. Because this is Youtube it's not the correct music.

Contra 3 The Alien Wars ending, because you see your character hang on to a missile of a helicopter for at least two minutes, which is pretty manly with the weight of the gun he's carrying.

i liked the Twilight Princess ending credits...the way they revisited all the places in the game [as usual for a zelda game, but the graphics made it better,] they had the Midna goodbye cutscene at the end of it. Definitely my favorite.
