Why yes. I do like fantasy RPGs.

[Shade of Life]

The orchestral version of the intro to Deus Ex. Enough said.

Damnit, you beat me to it.

 

[Hmuda]

Both Morrowind and Civ4 menu music are great themes. Once started, I almost never pause them mid-way, got to let them play out.

Not a fan of the franchise, but the menu theme in Crysis 2's multiplayer beta sounds amazing.

 

[norwegian-guy]

Obviously.

Beaten to it. I don't care what people think of the game, story or japanese games in general. This musical piece is fantastic. And is in my book some of the best videogame-music given to us at present date.

EDIT: Altough if Air by Bach would ever make it to a Main Menu theme it would stand undefeated for the rest of eternity.

GOT to be Baba Yetu from Civ IV, or possibly Never Forget, which plays in Halo 3 if you leave it idle at the menu for a few minutes.

Vietcong; one of my favourite shooters, despite being dated and frustrating.

Awsesome atmosphere and set up though. The vietnam soundtrack really helps:

All these battlefield mentions but no Bad Company?

EDIT

Oh how could I have forgotten this one?

Ah memories.

 

[Proverbial Jon]

I've always been a fan of the ME2 theme.

Spoiler: Uncharted 2

Good choices! I used to leave Uncharted 2 on the menu screen JUST to listen to that damn theme!

Also this:


Really sets the scene.

 

[Verkula]

 

[T-Bone24]

Mega Man 3 has the best in the series, I reckon.

Spoiler: BEHOLD!

 

[Mordwyl]

There's a lot of these. To pick my favourite, it'll be the one for Age of Empires:


The nostalgia... *wipes manly tear*

 

[Physics Engine]

Still my favourite

Spoiler: Super Metroid

So haunting, sets up the game beautifully.

 

[SilverUchiha]

Unfortunately, the youtube vid of the song is a wii bit broken, but here is the menu theme to Super Smash Bros Brawl (remixed)

[Lordmarkus]

A lot of extremely good entries, but nothing beats ArmA 2.

No contest at all here.


Tell me I'm wrong.
