Hmm... there are tons of great games with awesome stories to them. My fave story lines in a game are...
Final Fantasy 7; what's there not to love about the story line, and i'm not talking about the graphics in anyway. Each character had their own background story, and each one was cool. So much extra's to do, like go gamble or play a game in the Gold Saucer (Spell check that, the place where Cait Sith is found) (I can't wait for FF7:AC :) )

Halo; another sweet story. Like Xbox or not, this story have quessing what's next as you play through.

Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic; most Star Wars games before this one have had some characters from the movie in them, but not this one. This is set back thousands of years before the birth of Luke or Obi-Wan. This action/RPG is awesome.

Last but not least, TMNT for the GC :) I like how each turtle have a different story and fight different bosses at different times in the game.

Metal Gear Solid: No contest, even WITH the five-minute hippy war lectures, this was a compelling, very emotional storyline which made you rant and cry for the characters...

Double Dragon

Street Fighter 2

Mortal Kombat

Final Fantasy 3/6. Very deep and meaningful storyline, symbolic of some real life things. On top of that, it was very interesting with many sudden changes and unexpected events. Definately not predictable first time I played it. The game's really just that good.

I'd have to go with Unreal Tournament. See, it's not a deep story but it's the future of TV...

what's DOOM all about?According to the game's instruction manual, the backstory goes like this (these aren't the exact words, just my telling of it):

The main character is a space Marine sent to Mars after he was found guilty of assaulting his CO for firing upon civilians. On Phobos, he knows of the Union Aerospace Corporation's (UAC) experiments for interdimensional travel. Things go awry, such as "volunteers" returning with some form of dementia, and a few of them spontaneously combusting as soon as they come back. Some time later Mars recieves a distress signal from Phobos (one of the moons) saying "something friggin' evil" is coming through the gates. Shortly after, the other moon of Mars, Deimos, simply vanishes from the charts. Attempts to communicate with either moon have been unsuccessful. A team of Marines is sent from Mars to Phobos to handle the situation. Your character is stuck securing the perimeter while everyone else goes inside to fend off whatever is causing all the trouble. After hours of listening to the sounds of combat over an open channel, there's silence. Seems like everyone's dead. Guess who's left?

The actual GAMEPLAY story: Said marine (your character) single-handedly goes into the Phobos base and progresses through it, transporting to the lost Deimos base in Episode 2 (within the game, not DOOM 2), and finally enters Hell itself in Episdoe 3. In the end he thinks the invasion of Earth was stopped, but last "cinema" sequence sets the stage for the sequel, showing an Earth city on fire and a rabbit's head impaled on a stick. Enter DOOM 2: Hell on Earth.

Best storylines definitely belong to Metal Gear Solid and Metal Gear Solid: Sons of Liberty/Substance and ALL Legend of Zelda games.

If anything were to be below that, I'd give it to... um... heh... the newest WWF games? :ohwell:

Hoo-boy.....lessee...

Final Fantasy IX: Incorperating all the lovable characters as something major and making you really feel a connection to all of them as well as bringing Final Fantasy back to it's more medival roots WHERE IT BELONGS, supported by some great PS graphics and a fantastic soundtrack. My 2nd favorite game of all time. (I can't in all good conscience put Ocarina of Time up here, it's SL really takes a back seat to the gameplay)

Metal Gear Solid 1&2: This is as close as I've gotten so far to playing a movie. These games are so cinematic and just pull you into them to make such an amazing interactive experiance. These two are games you can play over and over again and still enjoy. All the twists and turns of a fantastic movie with the ability to play along, that's a great thing...my 3rd & 4th favorite games of all time...


Yanno, you can tell that a storyline is good if you really feel as though you're saying goodbye to a true friend of many years as you watch the ending sequence. I always get emotional at the the end of games like that. It's kinda sad really......

Resident Evil Series (RE4 is coming, whoohoo.)
Onimusha(1 and 3 considering they have Samanosuke)
AVP
They should make a good Spider-Man line (based on the Straczynski comics), and a Venom game.
