* ''[[God of War (series)|God of WarII]] II'' begins with Kratos as a (slightly depowered) god, allowing the player to slaughter his way through the armies of Rhodes, before he becomes ''all the way'' depowered. {{spoiler|He actually ''starts'' the story with fully godlike powers, but Zeus removes some of them with his first backstab, somewhere around a minute before the player is first given control.}}
** Similarly, shortly into ''[[God of War III]]'' the third game, he {{spoiler|falls into the river Styx, losing almost all of his power in the process.}} Hardly the worst excuse ever, though.

* ''[[Chaos Legion]]'' starts the main character off with {{spoiler|Thanatos}} as his legion, whose powers include wiping out everything and anything that happens to so much as look at you. You lose it once you meet the [[Big Bad]] at the end of the tutorial stage, and have to reassemble it.
* In ''[[Guardian Heroes]]'', Han starts off with the powerful Sword of Legend. He loses it to the Golden Hero after the first stage, but may gain another, equally powerful sword if he follows the right path.
* When you start ''[[The Force Unleashed]]'', you get to play as Darth Vader. That- that's right, '''Darth Vader''', you get to play as one of the most dreaded of the Sith in all his Force Choking, Force Throwing glory - as he slaughters an army of Wookies, can't get any more awesome than that. Unfortunately, it doesn't last, as once this tutorial-intro is over, you switch to the actual protagonist, and start working up from the beginning.
