Best Main Menu music?

[wooty]

Probably the shortest title theme there is, but still a damn good one

Spoiler: Metal Gear 4

Why not? The Hitman soundtracks make for fantastic walking music (as well as just generally being great).

I think it's because I find the soundtrack to epic/grand/great for normal everyday life. I can imagine walking to it however, but I have to confess I would probably take on the gait of agent 47 whilst checking that people aren't looking at me suspiciously.

Not really sure why I like this one so much.

Spoiler: Soviet March from Red Alert 3 all the way.

Aww man, you beat me to it.

I think RA3 was the first (and only) game I've ever played that actually stopped me from playing the game by having such a good main menu song that I didn't want to start the actual game until the song was over. (And considering RA3 is my favourite game ever, that's saying a lot)

I really liked the Yuri's Revenge one too.

There is but one answer.

Spoiler: Metroid Prime

One of my favorite tracks in the entire game/series.

.....Looks like i was beaten to the punch.

Ha, I can imagine that would get you into a little trouble...

This. This instantly popped into my head when I saw the topic title.

The character selection music for marvel vs capcom 2! it has drilled into my very soul! Don't know how to embed videos.

Spoiler: A mediocre shooter with outstanding main menu music

To me, this isn't even a question One Must Fall 2097

Such a good game

 

[Vhite]

Knight Shift. Menu music there was far more epic than game itself which was still pretty good.

[Ravek]

Obvious winner.

Two games immediately come to mind.

First:

This was my second exposure to this song (first being in an episode of Top Gear), but I have to say, it's one of my favourite songs now. It helps that I love BF:BC2: Vietnam, and can play this in tanks as I'm rolling along as well as on the main menu.

Did I mention it's the catchiest song since Yakety Sax?

Second:

<youtube=yyDZscyf8lU>

I always make a point of listening to this if it starts to play on the main menu. Beautiful piece.

 

[Shade184]

There is only one game that truly takes this.
Morrowind.
A theme that starts out small, builds, grows, and triumphs... just like you do.

Spoiler: Although... why has nobody mentioned Black yet?

It's good stuff.

Yes, I believe you are right. Although Battlefield 1942 and Battlefield 2 also have something to say on that subject.



Seriously. Battlefield games OWNS everything in terms of music.

[Scarim Coral]

Since two people had already posted Metrido Prime 1 Main Menu I will post the sequel Echo Main Menu.

Gonna take you for a ride...

Morrowind, easily my favourite: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LdZyKLi55V0

Battlefield 1943 (and prior instalments with the classic Battlefield music too) deserve a mention as well.
