Your favorite menu theme from 2000's?

Hello

My personal favorite menu theme from a game that was released back in the 2000's decade is the Golden Era menu theme from Need For Speed: Porsche Unleashed PS1 version.

Command & Conquer 3 is what first comes to mind, still gives me chills:

The menu music from the PS2 version of Half-life is also up there, along with the Ground Control menu music.

Easy:

@mocbucket62: I see your Civ V menu music and I raise you

Also:

this is far and away the most memorable for me, so it wins by default.

Gorgeous music for gorgeous game

Without a doubt, Halo.

My two favourites couldn't be more different:

Super Mario Galaxy's title screen is a dreamy promise of adventure ...

... and on the opposite end of the spectrum: Tekken 6 for the PSP makes me wanna go and punch stuff

It's probably no coincidence that these are two of my favourite games of all time but these menus are probably my favourite of all time let alone just the era.

Gotta be Bionic Commando with that wet tentacle cursor

Civ IV, Just Cause 2, Saints Row 3.

Just realised Pacman Championship Edition DX came out in 2010, so close.

Easiest pick ever

This is one of the best FPS games I've ever played!

When that piano hits I am both happy and sad deep inside

Got to be Deus Ex!

Chrono Cross had a US release in 2000 so it counts. If the police come for me, so be it.

The CC soundtrack is legendary.

Had this stuck in my head for yeeeaaarrrrsssss.

so chill.

Can't beat Deus Ex! The original composers recently went back and reimagined a lot of the soundtrack and there are some bangers in there. Worth checking out!
