Feels engaged.

Some good posts here.

[Lord Radik]

PSO main menu. I win thanks everyone!

 

[plushyp]

Deus Ex series is lucky to enjoy excellent menu themes.



Circle of the Moon with Kyrie Elieson is haunting.


Mass Effect 3 starts with a somber and fitting tone.


AC3 starts off slow and then just jumps into this epic score.


AC: Revelations always makes me misty eyed.

Gets you pumped up before you even play:

 

[Nitty_Grimes]

Always liked this

 

[Gavin Stevens]

Always made me want to go back and play some more... No other COD MP music came close for me

 

[Royce McCutcheon]

Menu music from sonic mega collection, metroid prime still the GOAT

 

[hiphopcr]

The obvious

 

[VulcanRaven]

The Last of Us and L.A. Noire have great menu musics. Also Beyond: Two Souls. I always listen them for a while before starting the game. This one is the best though:

Metal Gear Solid

 

[Soltype]

First game I thought of

 

[MDSLKTR]

Game is worth it on the soundtrack alone.

 

[AdmiralMikey]

 

[Masagiwa]

Here are some good ones I can think of on top of my head.

FF XV


Ocarina of time


Dark Souls III


Persona 5

 

[Armorian]

Crysis 2

 

[DonF]

 

[Hissing Sid]

 

[gifgaf]

 

[Aces&Eights]

Deus Ex is the leader of the pack when it comes not only to menu music but in game music as well. The scores are just so damn good.

 

[Droxcy]

Nothing better than this iconic piece of work!

 

[Koala Driving a Ferrari]

This and the Oblivion main menu theme were the first ones that came to my mind as well. They're such fantastic soundtracks.

 

[rmatheso]

Panzer Dragoon Saga menu:

 

[OH-MyCar]

Easily my GOAT; like the best of Alan Wilder-era Depeche Mode / Recoil.

 

[Bazookaxp]

The obvious

Without a doubt the most recognizable theme outside of Mario and Zelda.

 

[AdmiralMikey]

I know I already submitted Metroid Prime (which is the best), but this was a weird, quirky menu theme that I always loved:

 

[SirCrush]

Headset recommended. The goosebumps are real and I'd only partially attribute that to nostalgia.

 

[narax]

 

[HTK]

This.

 

[Senrah]

 

[ilfait]

This is a good one, especially set to that panning night time city scene.

 

[Shotpun]

My personal all time favorite, Tomb Raider 1 theme:

My personal all time favorite, Tomb Raider 1 theme:

It's as pretty as your avatar is hideous.

The Killzone franchise had its issues but the OST of both 2 and 3 are amazing.

As someone who didn't hate Shadow Fall I actually think the worst part of that game was the fact they changed composers .

I really don't get how Joris de Man hasn't been hired to do more videogame soundtracks (he worked alongside others on Horizon which also had some awesome tracks)

 

[Danjin44]

NieR Automata


Gravity Rush 2

 

[BANGS]

 

[llien]

Welp, my favorite. It is simple, but I still remember raising adrenaline levels.

 

[MrMorningMan]

I scrolled all the way down slowly in anticipation for this wonderful piece of music, yet it didn't appear. It's ridiculously out of place, but it only takes a single listen to have you sitting on the menu for ages. Can't trust "How Long to Beat" for this one, times are inflated everytime someone boots the game.

Dragon's Dogma Main Menu Theme

 

[PRiSMiWi]

Zanarkand. Final fantasy X

Reminds me

Do more people seriously like this one over the main song in Dark Arisen? I always thought it was ironic appeal like SF4's Indestructible.

 

[OH-MyCar]

Game is worth it on the soundtrack alone.

I've not even played Tekken 7 and yet its soundtrack is one of my favorites of this entire generation. Heat Haze Shadow & Arctic Snowfall Final Round are just awesome EDM tracks in general.

One of these days I'll get around to actually buying the game.

 

[blaq]

Destiny 1's The Taken King menu music was great

 

[Aricer]

Didn't see these posted yet. Both sound great to me.

 

[MindCollizion]

Castlevania circle of the Moon and Metroid Prime have already been mentioned, but those are two titles that I fondly remember being taken aback by how amazing the title screen music was.

 

[Soleil rouge]

Drakengard had two menu themes: Mission Select and Weapon Select.






The Hitman series has always had fantastic menu themes.






S.T.A.L.K.E.R.

I always was partial to uncharted
