F-Zero X


Also has the greatest racing game soundtrack overall ever.

 

[BusierDonkey]

The Forza Motorsports titles from 3-6 had some really good menu music, Lance Hayes did 3, 4 and 5. Kaveh Cohen and Michael Nielsen who also works on the Splinter Cell franchise did 6. I spent hundreds of hours painting cars in all the games and never got tired of the music. Then Forza 7 came sweeping in with it's biker bar rock and I had to turn the music off.

Rock n' Roll Racing
Road & Track Need for Speed (PC)

 

[Heimdall_Xtreme]

 

[ValiantTraveler]

Persona 3 Portable's title screen always stuck with me:



Pokémon Ruby/Sapphire/Emerald deserves a mention as well:


The Pokémon games always kill it with title themes.


And while we're at it, why not post good old Jet Set Radio?


Screw it, at this rate I'm gonna post most of the Dreamcast's library:

 

[Salmonboy]

Full Contact





Cannon Fodder

 

[Celcius]

The Gran Turismo series has always had awesome menu music. Also, the Capcom vs SNK series as well.

 

[Myths]

Ain’t gonna flex, not gonna front...this was a real one

I like to think back to the days of 08-early 09, long before the game’s release when we knew next to nothing but a few tracks. It’s soothing and more than sensational to be frank.

All we had were those crisp “target render” screenshots of the Lightning, Vanille, and Snow in that icy lake area.

 

[Dragon_Rocks]

Kingdom Hearts
Flower
Batman Arkham City

 

[Rest]

 

[Verdanth]

But of course.

 

[BTHR Zero X]

this is what i came for lol

 

[BlackTron]

 

[MastAndo]

This is the GOAT, if you ask me;

 

[Shifty]

Here's a banger from the one and only God Hand, the main menu theme appropriately titled Be Ready For It!




It fits quite well I think, establishes an atmosphere of GO GO GO from minute one.

 

[EverydayBeast]

This is the GOAT, if you ask me;

Extraordinary. Greatness just in a menu, a great 3 minute chunk.

 

[HE1NZ]

When I think of menu music I think of those:

 

[Codes 208]

These are legitimately the first that come to mind. (Press start counts as a menu screen, right? Lol)

 

[DunDunDunpachi]

GAF has good taste. All of the songs below are guaranteed to improve self esteem.

TxK


Wonderful 101


Guilty Gear Xrd series


Gold/Silver


Lastly, this is by no means the "best", but it is etched pretty hard into the creases of my brain:

 

[Badlucktroll]

Always dug the pause music in Perfect Dark


Also HAWX

 

[GermanZepp]

Coming through bitches!

Awesome thread my dudes and dudettes.

 

[Belmonte]

Contra Hard Corps, must be one of the most underated OST ever:




I love Rastan OST also. It encapsulates very well the savage and epic Conan-like world of Rastan.






I don't want to make this a Donkey Kong Country topic but I love this music too. There are many great and surprisingly introspective tracks in the series but I go with this funny and sassy one:

 

[GermanZepp]

Contra hard corps ost rules man!!

I don't care what Dark Arisen says. This is Dragon's Dogma main theme!

 

[Grand Theft Scratchy]

There's too many to choose from but here are a couple favorites:

 

[Grand Theft Scratchy]

Oops, sorry. Posted the wrong track from MGS2. It should be this one:

A few more favorites of mine:

Baldur's Gate II: Shadows of Amn (PC)

Also, Mario Kart series as a whole is aces:

Super Mario Kart


Mario Kart 64

[xXRedxSlugXx]

Fell in love with this on first boot.

 

[Grand Theft Scratchy]

This one is pretty good too.

 

[Sub_Level]

This got me through accounting so yea.

 

[Danjin44]

Such a under appreciated game, I wish this would get remastered with better performance.

 

[BlackTron]

Screw it, at this rate I'm gonna post most of the Dreamcast's library:

 

[Grand Theft Scratchy]

Two great classic tracks:

 

[Soltype]

GAF is slipping.

Edit: Also, I've never played it, but the Chrono Trigger title theme is amazing.

 

[WouldYouKindly]

For shame bros for shame

I've always liked the following:

 

[PurpleDragon92]

Halo 2

 

[Red Crayon Aristocrat]

 

[molasar]

 

[Slings and Arrows]

CTRL+F: Dragons Dogma....no results. For shame

• Dragons Dogma
• Halo
• Fallout 1+2
• Roadrash
• Sonic the hedgehog

 

[Hudo]

When I think of menu music I think of those:

in addition to the excellent menu themes of C&C1 and Red Alert:




Also:

 

[sublimit]

 

[Shaqazooloo]

Also:

This brings back a lot of good memories.

CTRL+F: Dragons Dogma....no results. For shame

• Dragons Dogma
• Halo
• Fallout 1+2
• Roadrash
• Sonic the hedgehog

Maybe you should have CTRL+F Dragon's Dogma instead The original "Into Free" theme was posted some posts above.

Edit:I also love the Dragon Quest menu theme (which is more or less the same in most DQ games). Gives me a feeling of playfullness which always makes me feel happy and warm inside.

 

[Hudo]

This brings back a lot of good memories.

In my opinion, one of the most underrated games ever. I had so much fun with this. And it had a track editor!
