Who Says Main Menu Music Can't Be Awesome?

Gaming Enthusiast:

"So often, we are treated to epic Title Screen/Main Menu soundtracks that are really inviting, catchy, or stirring, depending on the nature of the game. In this article we will look back over some really great Main Menu music. (26 different games, to be exact.) I think you’ll agree with me that many of them stir up some nostalgia as you recognize them and bring back many pleasant memories."

My favorite of the bunch is definitely Metal Gear Solid 2. That music makes me want to go and crawl through air vents or something.

[Winter47th]

Freedom Fighters had the best main menu music ever.

[DwightOwen]

Double.
Dragon.

The main menu music for MGS1 always give me that nostalgia feeling...

[DarkBlood]

"Still Alive" from mirrors edge always puts me good mood, before I have to trudge off to work or Uni.

[Capt-FuzzyPants]

How could they not have Dearly Beloved from any of the KH games.

[Menashe]

Oops, that's a bad omission. I'll stick it in right away. Thanks for reminding me.

Rayman Origins.

MGS2 main theme & FFX To Zanarkand r the best on this list by far but imo the article miss one of the most recognizable game theme from one of the most iconic video game char of the past 15 years http://www.youtube.com/watc... and it's truly a shame how can he forget to add this unforgivable.

Also remember what I am saying right now in the future this theme http://www.youtube.com/watc... will be also right there with all the other legendary games as one of the best ever and when ppl hear it 10 or more years from now tears will fall from their eyes as they will remember the experience of playing the game.

One of the staff actually suggested that Xenoblade track. I'll stick both of your suggestions in now because they are good ones. (Xenoblade is going in the Nintendo version of the article on Nintendo Enthusiast.)

You can read the Nintendo version here, with 25 of its own menu tracks. http://www.nintendoenthusia...

no body.

[abzdine]

Two of my favorites are WipEout and Killzone 2.

[Hicken]

That Killzone music got you in the mood for CARNAGE! Loved that track!

[WildArmed]

Simplicity aside, Final Fantasy games still send a chill down my spine when I hit the "New Game" on the main menu <3
I've done it too many times for FF8. Love that damn game.

[megalonagyix]

best themes: Deus Ex, Fallout 3, UT99, 2004

[JohnApocalypse]

[Relientk77]

I love the songs in Final Fantasy and Legend of Zelda games

[BitbyDeath]

Starhawk
Warhawk
God of War 3
Skyrim.

[Omnislash]

FF13 and 13-2
Kingdom Hearts
MGS4

I cant think of any more...

[AIndoria]

I'd add Persona3, if you've played it?

[Omnislash]

briefly but that was during the end of the PS2 era... so not really.

[AIndoria]

HOW?! ...Go and get Persona 3 Portable for the PSP right now...no, right fxcking now! You're missing on an excellent game :P
