Music for the title screen

Finding the right music for the title screen.
First I try finding car chase like score. However after much searching I feel the music will to match with the title screen but can match the in game chase music. So look for music that feel that much greater will happen when to press start.

The music should fit with the world without creating much distraction to the viewers and aid them to understand the world of the game.

I found music that has fast space spin to it, that show it a chasing game.
This music will work if the title screen represent the chase itself instead of pre-chase moment. We still use the music if we remove the animation and used a still image of the game. But I decided that, we go with the other direction because we can break conventional expectation of gamers.
Need For Speed Most Wanted Police Chase Music
Need for speed most wanted Cop Chase theme song
Need For Speed Hot Pursuit Theme Song
Vanesa Lorena - Pursuit Theme (NFS Rivals Soundtrack)
Need For Speed The Run Chase Theme
Need For Speed Most Wanted 2012 Menu Music
Need for Speed Hot Pursuit - Police Chase OST 5 Theme Song
Need for Speed Hot Pursuit - Police Chase OST 4 Theme Song
Need for Speed Hot Pursuit - Police Chase OST 3 Theme Song
Need for Speed Hot Pursuit - Police Chase OST 1 Theme Song

I found music that is cool and feels like something more to come.
Need for Speed World - Music: Safehouse (garage)
Need for Speed II Soundtrack - Main Menu

Really like the one below, but in my opinion it feels familiar and also one part the beat feels out of place from the world of the game.
Need for Speed Carbon Theme - MenĂ¹ Music 4



This music shows that something more to come.
Need For Speed Rivals : Garage Theme

The actual music I believe fit with both category and do justice to title screen.

Adding the Disclaimer

The original idea for the disclaimer is to be a classic Disclaimer. Example can be seen below. At minute 7.17 can see the example Link for the video at 7.17 However, Andrew has prepared the video before seeing my comment and his approach works much better so we ticked with it. The sources for the disclaimer. First I found a template from this website.  Template THE DISCLAIMER Here is a standard motion picture disclaimer...

There is one version where it is to allow the audience to absorb the story and its conclusion. An epic story that is told beautifully takes a good amount time to comprehend and swallow. Eg. After watching this 2 video above we can see that we need a few amount of time to stretch and realign ourself as our epic journey with the story comes to end. Therefore, playing the screen credits will allow us to recover from experience. There a credit screen's where audiences wants to find out what will happen now.
