I was really surprised to see B'z singing the title screen song. The song is actually the english version of this one:


The original version was released in 1998.

Of the two, Dragon's Dogma no contest. Of all games? FFX-2 and Chrono Cross give it a legit run for its money.

I ain't here to argue with you OP, because Into Free is terrific, I'm just gonna also post the original Life Is Strange and LiS: Before the Storm's title/main menu themes, because they are both excellent at setting the tone of both games.

My man.

I think it's a toss-up between that and this.


You did NOT just post that. Holy fuck. I remember when my dad had the shareware demo or something for this back in the day. I used to think this was the coolest damn song ever lmao. I'd just watch the opening over and over and over again so I could listen to this song. Bless you for posting this.

Dude im sorry but that dragons dogma song sounds like the most generic possible anime theme being given a "rock remix" on youtube or something. Not that its poorly made for what it is or that the band isnt talented, but buck bumble is in a different league.

Some dope entries here, and not just Buck Bumble.

Not the best, but a requirement on any list is this wtf-worthy dark-future 9-minute opening-screen song..... from a licensed Adventures of Batman & Robin game. Jasper Kyd got so much blood out of the Mega Drive's Yamaha chip with this one.

I like both especially dragons dogma but the buck bumble devs never changed buck bumbles opening theme so I think he gets the win.

Sorry, but it's time to rock with the biggity Buck Bumble.

Edit: To be quite honest, Metroid Prime has probably the best main menu ever made overall.

It's a competent track but not really feeling it. Would suit some cheesy anime though. They at least got some energy into it.

I perfectly remember the day I entered my trusty videogames shop just in time to witness the owner about to start playing buck bumble.
"What the fuck is this that I'm hearing??"
"This is called raggae, my dude" he said as he started to nod staring at the screen.

(Note: it was the PAL version and sounded waaaay slower than this, close to YT video of it played at 0.75x speed)
