Best Main Menu?

[sgtshock]

Plenty of games have awesome menu screens. Which games, in your opinion, have the best in-game main menus?

Mine would have to be Medieval 2 Total War. An endless stream of soldier's silhouettes march off to war to the beat of eerie music. Here's a youtube link: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=U2a1xN4tQbw

A close second would be Half-Life 2's in-game menus, which were really creepy, even if they did increase load times.

That rewminds me that I need to buy that Mega Total War pack from steam...

I like the TF2 Menu mainly cause of the musics.

Ocarina of Time's is classic.

Oh and the Pokemon games! Mainly Yellow, Crystal and Silver.
The music kicks ass...

i liked the darkness main menu

Original C&C when you firt play it and have to choose Nod or GDI through the TV static...not really a menu screen but still cool

I always liked the halo menus, simple layout with nice backrounds,(customizable on PC or modbox)

It would appear someone speaks the truth.

It has to be said. Burnout Paradise, until recently, there wasn't a menu, just a message making sure you knew the autosave was on EVERY TIME IT LOADED!!! I don't get it with EA but recently they seem adamant to tell me that the game is still using an autosave feature even though it told me yesterday AND the day before. Games usually just remind you once and then leave you alone.

DiRT had the best main menu ive seen.

 

[Apocalypse Tank]

I always thought Ground Control II had a great main menu.
That and Red Alert 2

Oblvion's in my opinion the music really got you into the slaughtering lots of peasants heroic mood.

Halo 3, great scenery and brilliant music. I could listen to that song for hours on end. Speaking of whitch anyone know what the music that plays during the menu is called, I'v had no luck finding it so far.

Bioshock, every time you scroll over a key its a piano note, that caught me by suprise

That's the "Pirates of the Caribbean" like music right?

I really liked the menu screen in The Suffering, it was enough to creep me out without even playing the game.
