number 10 escape the hospital
ándale Gear Solid 5 the phantom pain
tomorrow it becomes fun getting our list
off to a rather slow yet explosive start

sequence of the latest entry in the
Metal Gear Solid franchise
after awakening from a nine-year long
coma
snake comes to in a hospital being torn
to shreds by assassin sent from the
game’s antagonist cipher on your face
culture from all places with the help of
a mysterious bandaged man snake must
push through an exhausting series of
brutally close encounters
we adore the climactic chase sequence of

chills of this unforgettable opening is
something we won’t soon forget
number nine Ganon’s castle escape the
legend of zelda ocarina of time
ganondorf’s castle is falling down

epic confrontation with the game’s
antagonist he falls to the ground and
the battle is won or is it in a
last-ditch effort to destroy Lincoln

after a series of death-defying jumps
and dodges our heroes escape as
everything crashes down behind them
a break-in sotry escape Ori and the
blind forest
damn nature you’ve scary in this
critically acclaimed indie style
adventure platformer the player controls
a guardian spirit named Ori who ventures
across a vast forest to revive the
elements unfortunately things go a
little too well when dealing with the
water element as massive bursts of water
overflow the area the player must
rapidly ascend towards higher ground
surviving this pulse-pounding segment
requires careful timing and precise
platforming easier said than done as the
aquatic anarchy is never far behind it’s
a close call in the end and an
altogether fantastic sequence let this
be a reminder to never leave the kitchen
sink running
number seven hell breaks loose
dead space – you’re in terrible
getting this sequel off to a nail-biting
start dead space – wastes no time in
reminding us just how deadly the alien
Necromorphs are heart-stopping in all of
the best ways this sequence is memorable
for how defenseless it leaves the player
having no weapons to fight back against
the terrifying creatures the only option
is to run like you’ve never run before a
chilling set up for the relentless pace
of the game this opening taught us to
never think that we’re completely out of
the way
number six crew expendable call of duty
4 modern warfare
we hope you don’t get seasick as a
member of an SAS commando unit the
player must venture deep into the belly
of a cargo ship in search of a suspected
nuclear device
we found it ready to secure package for
transport as is the case with most of
the entries on this list things go
terribly wrong what follows is a
fast-paced fight to the surface as the
tanker is quickly being flooded by huge
waves of water even once you reach the
top deck the player still has to make
one final leap of faith to escape a
watery grave
number-5 Normandy escape Mass Effect’s
you
weapons online somebody get that firearm
don’t you just hate uninvited guests in
this opening scene the SSV Normandy is
patrolling the cosmos for any signs of
gas resistance when they are suddenly
caught off guard by an unknown attacker
their line would abandon us we just need
to hold on
what follows is an exhilarating rush as
the players must navigate through the
Normandy
while it is progressively being blown to
bits as the crew abandoned ship you must
make your way to your trusty pilot Joker
to ensure that he escapes as well he
does live to see another day thanks to
you but consequently the captain does go
down with the ship at the end of this
action-packed sequence and my captain we
mean you number four escaped from the
Cave of Wonders
Aladdin SNES version if it’s not yours
don’t touch it just like in the film
after Aladdin’s pet monkey Abu grabs a
shiny gem the entire cave around them
collapses this stage keeps the player on
their toes as they must push forward if
they wish to avoid the scorching hot
lava rising around them danger also
comes from above as boulders endlessly
drop towards the player
and that’s only half of the stage as you
have to escape on the magic carpet with
waffle waves right behind you it’s
because of this last scene that we went
with the SNES version over the Genesis
version because of that damn rug ride
sequence number three the maw halo
combat Evolved the setting for the first
level is also where the game ends as
Master Chief must enter the ruins of the
pillar of autumn to destroy its reactor
and halo with it
getting in is already a challenge as you
have to fight off covenant flood and the
Halos defenses getting out before the
ship blows is no easy task either using
a warthog you have to drive precariously
through the ship’s hallways all while
everyone is shooting at you and
everything is exploding at least the
main theme song is on your side ensuring
that this epic ride is all the more epic
number two sink-or-swim uncharted 3
drake’s Deception
I gotta get a nice job with that rescue
mission mate after an attempt to save
his pal Sully goes awry things get a
little blown out of proportion you never
had him did you of course you’re not
I’ll I what makes the scene so
unforgettable is how manors go from bad
to worse with each passing moment the
entire ship gets completely turned on
its side making for some rather dynamic
platforming and combat scenarios
additionally the rousing musical score
heightens the anxiety of the rushing
water catching up to you it’s a close
call but Nate lives to cause disastrous
mayhem on another day
before we reveal our choice for the most
thrilling videogame escape sequence here
