Favourite menu music?

This theme is so epic, which is weird because it doesnt fit crazy style of the game with toilet humor and kill points systems.
 

The best theme in the whole AC franchise.

DA Inquisition's main menu theme is the best verison, which they weirdly didn't use anywhere else, i mean HEAR THE CELLO'S!

 

 

[Liberation]

 

[BCHQ]

Still gives me shivers a few decades later.

 

 

Never played quests, but this theme is great. If Summoning wrote game OSTs.

 

 

Also, shoutouts to Red Alert 1 and Warcraft 2.

[Aurelius]

Just giving a passing shoutout to the already mentioned Metroid Prime menu music. Absolutely no contest there.

[Lebsrostla Halabala]

Gives me chills every time 

 

[mrthejoshmon]

This theme fits really well, makes simply picking your character and listening to their quotes on the menu feel epic, which is a strange thing to say.

Whilst not as good as the main hub theme this one is equally as wonderful, found myself sat there listening to it for a bit too long before I even started.

Spoiler

 

 

And of course there is this absolutely brilliant theme, nothing short of iconic.

Spoiler

 

 

But the best one of all time is this, objectively unmatched by anything and it will never be toppled and you're all wrong.

Easily my favorite title track theme from my favorite RPG, it's highly recommended that you play this absolute gem.

I believe this sounds better than the original game's menu music because it sounds more edgy and perfectly echoes Chloe's feelings. I like listening to this during hard times and resonates with me on a whole new level.

Forgot this one somehow...

 

 

[TJG1289]

It's a very understated piano piece. Really, this is just an excuse to post a track from my favorite video game soundtrack of the last decade.

 

 

Favorite Sonic game has a great File Select track

 

 

[GuyMcBrofist]

The Splinter Cell games have a lot of great menu music.

 

 

 

 

Some other good ones

LOTS OF SONGS INCOMING!

 

Terraria. Spooky yet adventurous. Pretty accurate to the game TBH.

Spoiler

 

(None of the other title themes are as good as this one)

 

JJ2. A good remix of JJ1's theme:

Spoiler

 

 

AE 3's goofy upbeat song kicks you into gear to catch some cheeky monkeys. :3

Spoiler

 

 

 

Since the game kiiiinda lacks a menu, this is as close as I can get for The Sims:

Spoiler

 

 

This DOES play on the title screen for Worms Armageddon:

Spoiler

 

 

Faaaable!

Spoiler

 

 

Say what you will about Bethesda but GOD DAMN these are bangers of a title track!

Spoiler

 

 

 

 

 

Fiiiiiiish!

Spoiler

 

 

Da Binnung ov Izzak

Spoiler

Legit can't decide which is better XD

 

Jail time! Time to ESCAPE!

Spoiler

 

Needless to say: I love a LOT of game title songs. I'd add more but you get the point. XD

[Hawk of The Crystals]

 

 

My top 3 picks for now. Might update in the future.

[Kirby]

Hmmmm

 

So three immediately came to mind when I read this.

 

 

#1 - Rise of the Triad 

 

 

#2 - Turok: Rage Wars

 

#3 - MvC 2 (simply because its so recognizable)'

Out of those mentioned before, definitely NFS2 and One Must Fall 2097 (check out this remixed version by the original composer). I'll add the main menu theme from Powball (found no version of this on YouTube, you can play the game in the browser version of DOSBox to listen) and

 

[HydroFS02]

 

 

 

[out_of_service]

My favourite menu music is from the PS2 version of Half-Life!

 

 

[ASD]

Raptor. Cool and subdued song that goes well with the dark blue background art.

 

 

I also like menu music for Cosmo, Wolf3D, Major Stryker, Duke Nukem II, Terminal Velocity and Death Rally.

[Nefelibeta]

I don't know if doom counts but I'd say Sunlust's title screen music is pretty freaking epic.

[whybmonotacrab]

Not really a KH fan but this is one of the best songs in video game history: 

 

[TheBlurCafe]

Literally every Mii-centered game has great music, and I wish I could post them all here, but it'd be pretty much spamming.

So instead, I'm going with the original, the nostalgic, Wii Sports.

[Screamapillar]

Despite not meeting my expectations at all, Mafia 2 has one of the best menu themes
