Best themes/openings in games ever

**psimaster** · 11-14-2012, 11:57 AM

Ever watched or listened to the theme/opening in a game and thought, wow! this is awesome! Post it here. For me, I would have to say the Chrono Cross opening.

I'm a big fan of the playable opening for Castlevania SOTN

The opening of Shadow of the Colossus.

Metroid, Mega Man 2 and 3, Destiny of an Emperor, Zelda 2. I've turned all these games on to cycle through the attract mode/title screens or what have you before bed.

Even though I'm not a huge Halo fan, I love this opening theme.

Always gets me pumped to play when I turn it on. I almost never let an intro play when I wanna play a game, this is a big exception.

@ChrisP- Sorry but Oblivion beats Skyrim-

Patrick Stewart narrating? Impossible to top that.

Legend of Zelda: Majora's Mask theme is my all time favorite hands down.

**CrispyChicken** · 11-15-2012, 02:07 PM

@DB- Oh I agree. Oblivion would've been the better game too if it was remade in the Skyrim engine. I love the part at 1:00 and on for that video

**psimaster** · 11-16-2012, 07:09 PM

Really? I have played skyrim but never oblivion. Should I get oblivion?

**Dudebro** · 11-16-2012, 07:15 PM

Oblivion is a great game. It's much less dark and dreary too because it doesn't take place in that worlds version of Canada like Skyrim does.

**CrispyChicken** · 11-16-2012, 07:31 PM

I agree. It's not just endless snow. There are several different landscapes. It's extremely good. One of my top 3 favorite games of all time.

**Dudebro** · 11-17-2012, 02:55 AM

Morrowwind was also bleak and dreary for the most part. I guess they wanted to try something different with Oblivion and they didn't like it enough to stick with it.

**SMASH** · 11-17-2012, 06:09 AM

probably my favorite

I know that feel.

I think for me, it's gotta be the intro for Left 4 Dead 2.

I didn't really like this game, but the opening is interesting.
