For me: the Out Run OST. Everyone listens to and praises Nintendo OSTs or Square Enix, but Out Run is something else. I have rarely listened to video game music that catchy.
og wipeout
NFS underground or most wanted.
Prostreet too
I wouldn’t call them my favourites, but I will call them a perfect fit. The licensed soundtrack in MW has exactly the correct feel for the game.
That’s why I think they’re great. Good standalone songs put in a fitting context.
Bought and played NFS heat recently. Game was surprisingly good, music, however had too much hip-hop/pop and stuff like that for my taste so that was disappointing.
I also like NFS Carbon to be honest.
Never played it, but it has kyuss. That alone makes it great. The rest are a bonus.
MX Vs. ATV Unleashed
Something about the early 2000s alt and buttrock that just does it for me.
F-Zero GX, hands down. Nothing else is even close.
Hell yeah, F-Zero.
It’s not a car racing game, but SSX 3 had such a great soundtrack. It’s hard to find nowadays.
What was the name of that motorcycle racing game where you also beat up other racers all while racing to Soundgarden… That one.
Road Rash?
Yes thats it. I gotta go find that disk somewhere in my old folders now
Burnout 3
Ridge Racer Type 4 isn’t here?
Boo.
Sonic R
It’s a hill I’m willing to die on.They put all the budget into the music lol
true, at least someone had their priorities straight!
Burnout Paradise 🎶Take me down to the Paradise City Where the grass is green and the girls are pretty🎵
probably Distance
ATV Off-road Fury had a good one
Does SSX count as a racing game?
If so, SSX was huge for my prepubescent self.
Rock n’ Roll Racing.
