let’s go already he was so willing it
with almost effect
welcome to watchmojo.com and today we’ll
be counting down our picks for the top
10 video game menu themes for this list
we’ve chosen our entries based on a
combination of the entries popularity as
well as how long it will stick in your
mind did you not hear number 10
grinder command & Conquer red alert –
this one should get you pumped for war
comrade heard once you reach the main
menu screen of red alert – grinder will
get you in the right mindset to
eliminate any communist threat or Allied
threat if you swing that way
a game that features so much heavy-metal
weaponry deserves a heavy-metal track
and grinder certainly delivers
verification you mention sweet mother
number nine menu alone in the dark
alone in the dark maybe a famously
broken game but that doesn’t mean there
aren’t some individual elements that
can’t be salvaged from its wreckage one
such element is its menu theme an
abridged version of the end credits song
an end of a prelude composed by oliver
de rivier
the spooky operatic harmony definitely
nails the eerie tone that the game was
going for
whether that tone carries on past the
menu screen is another question
oh my god who the hell my number eight
never forget halo three
the Halo series is known for its awesome
orchestral soundtracks but the third
entry really set the bar to new heights
it’s good to see you chief likewise
ma’am
this theme performed by Martin O’Donnell
set the stage for the massive conclusion
to the original Halo trilogy
while it contains many of the same
orchestral and classical elements as the
main Halo theme that we all already know
and love it was truly a masterpiece in
its own right
mixing hope with sadness grandeur with
subtlety never forget helps make sure
you remember the halo trilogy fondly
number three menu select theme Metroid
Prime
the Metroid series has come a long way
since its inception and so has its
themes
while the ominous mounting excitement of
Super Metroid was certainly memorable
fans were in for a whole new treat when
the series moved to 3d crimes themed
mashes several seemingly unrelated songs
and sounds together in order to evoke a
very specific set of feelings in the
player there is a halo s vocal harmony
the strange sci-fi radio transmission
effects and the pulsing Terminator style
beat in the background
it’s a multi-layered tableau that
represents the complexity of the game
with it
number six live and learn
Sonic Adventure 2 Sonic’s no stranger to
good music but sonic adventure 2 tried
something vastly different for its
soundtrack performed by the Japanese
American rock band crush 40 live and
learn quickly became the anthem of Sonic
Adventure 2 while it was successful as
the menu theme of the game it also
became associated with the
transformation of Super Sonic and Super
shadow did you really think you had a
chance
the track has become a fan favorite of
the series even serving to introduce
Sonic when he crossed over to knock some
heads in the Super Smash Brothers series
number five main theme Deus Ex
Daigo sex may have secured its place as
a pc classic nowadays but back when it
arrived players didn’t really know what
to expect from this strange new hybrid
oh yes most certainly I’m sure many a
doubt was put to rest as soon as the
game began to load and the song began to
play the track itself is composed of a
mixture of classical instruments and
electronic beats giving itself a
combative get our inspiring feel you
might not have known what was in store
but you knew it was gonna be special we
on the future number 4 the next door
indestructible
Street Fighter 4 this track gets a super
combo bonus for those few opening bars
the ones that really carry that ready to
rumble feeling
after that there’s actually two
different versions of this song one in
Japanese with a bit of English performed
by the 19 member Japanese band exile
and one that’s entirely in English that
features flo rida nothing to break my
spirit in this one children nobody’s
taken over my either way it’s fast it’s
fun it’s super super Japanese it’s
totally street fighter number three
title screen buck bumble when a boat
note is tongue to rock with the diggity
buck bumble what seems almost obnoxious
at first is too catchy to stop the next
moment composed by Justin Scarr Bona
this entry relies heavily on House and
UK garage elements clumps to the bomb to
the powerful come to the boss of the
farm table base making it unique not
only for this list but also in the realm
of video games in general as quirky as
the game it’s featured in the buck
bumble themed certainly helped cement
this strange piece of video game history
in the minds of everyone who got to play
it number two main theme Mega Man 2
perhaps the most recognizable theme in
gaming Mega Man 2 s theme personifies
the sheer pulse-pounding difficulty of
the game in a few short bars
starting off slow it builds up to a
fast-paced chiptune that will surely
prepare you for what you’re about to
face this one’s so memorable that it
follows Mega Man pretty much everywhere
he goes whether it’s to Marvel vs.
Capcom or the smash brothers series
before we reveal our top pick here are a
few honorable mentions
number one baba yetu civilization for
peace and togetherness that is what
civilization is all about
maybe not the civilization games because
Gandhi nukes everyone but anyway baba
yetu is the main theme of sip for and
plays over the opening video the track
is beautifully sung by Ron Ragan and the
Soweto gospel choir fun fact you might
actually know the lyrics already since
it’s technically just the Lord’s Prayer
only in Swahili
baba yetu was eventually recognized for
its genius as it became the first piece
of videogame music to be nominated for a
grammy in 2010 and was even performed
for the United Nations General Assembly
