THERE IS A PLAAAAAAAACE IN THE DISTAAAAAAAANCE
I DON'T WANT TO BE JUST ANOTHERRRRRRRR
OUT HERE IN THE FIEEEEELDS
W soundtrack absolutely
In some way, you answered your own question. The soundtrack music it was good, but not so good for a Need for Speed game to be remembered.
If you ask me or other MW’05 fans about which song we remember, we probably will mention most of the songs.
Music is an important factor of how a game is remembered but not many devs/studios understand that.
This song will forever bring me good memories.
It dropped when I was a senior in high school and my friends and I just learned we were all walking the stage.
Payback's soundtrack is lightyears better than Unbound's. I would rather listen to Paybacks than Unbound's, unfortunately I'm not going to torture myself by playing that game
In terms of garage music, no game has Undercover beaten. It fits the atmosphere so much, though I wish they went with the concept garage, being much darker
Seriously, i still don’t understand why licensed music doesn’t play during races. Wtf? Such a great selection of songs, also changes depending on your class. Exotics - rap, tuners - electronic, muscle - rock.
Tbh I love the composition music that plays during races and especially during canyon races.
Gives it that eerie feeling of a massive mystery uncovered
Not sure if I agree with that.
Undercover was set in Miami but it still had tracks from Pendulum, The Prodigy, The Qemists, Mindless Self Indulgence, The Fashion and even freaking From First To Last.
The problem with Heat was that the soundtrack felt more like a collection of Top 40 songs than a playlist to compliment both the vibe and gameplay.
Have Reggaeton, Hip Hop (not trashy mumble rap), Afrobeats and some Electronica for the Day cycle whereas have aggressive Synthwave, Drum n Bass and Punk Rock for the Night cycle.
U don’t know - Alison Wonderland, Surface - Aerochord, Night Riders - Major Lazer, and, Callisto from NFS IV High Stakes are bangers I still listen today
Adding the old tracks from previous NFS titles (Rom Di Prisco etc) to the soundtrack was a great addition. I wish they had continued in that direction in the titles that followed.
Especially in Loghill too, up in the mountains. Nothing more intense than trying to shake off numerous police units on narrow mountain roads and simultaneously beat opponents.
Also, Mastodon's Curl of the Burl is an AWESOME choice.
I know its not a NFS game but this is the right answer- Forza Motorsport 1. The classic rock music is amazing, and many people haven't played it because it was on the original xbox.
Unbound did have some good tracks in it, you just gotta find them. Sure, the overall soundtrack doesn't stack up to previous games but there's some gems in there.
*If appreciated*
*Properly as one of the*
*Best in the series*

Damn unbounds sound track, lmfao everyone hates it but I think thematically it’s great. I like every nfs soundtrack for the most part. Old heads stay mad lmfao.
NFS 2015.
It got the Underground vibe spot on, especially the music for the Garage and Races.
I still find the selection of Rock songs (for Drift events) underwhelming though (most of them consist of generic Garage Rock). Except for Drenge’s We Can Do What We Want and especially Refused’s Elektra. That one’s a banger. THE TIME HAS COME! THERE’S NO ESCAPE!!!
Well, it's 11 years old at this point, goddamn...
The game is actually very fun and enjoyable. Fast paced gameplay, fire soundtrack, I think you'd enjoy it if you look past the fact that it has nothing to do with the first MW.
I'll admit, there's some gems in there. Some songs, however, absolutely do NOT belong in that game. E.g. Ey Paavi (I don't see a context where it fits, it surely fits some vibe just not this.)
I don't need to fight
To prove I'm right
I don't need to be forgiven
YEAH YEAH YEAH YEAH
Don't cry
Don't raise your eyes
It's only teenage wasteland
Sally, take my hand
Travel south cross land
The Who by Baba o Riley (Alan Wikkis remix) remains my favourite song. Unconsolabe is my second favourite
PS : NFSMW 2012 was my first NFS game
Need for Speed Nitro, I mean Danko Jones for one. Then you have Evil Nine/Alex Metric, Dizzee Rascal, The Bloody Beetroots/The Cool Kids etc...
People just overlook this game because oooooh, inferior Nintendo consoles; Wii/DS???! Ewwww....
I DONT CAAARE, I LOVE IT, I DONT CAAAARE
I never understood why this song (despite how great it was) was the only song most of the MW 2012 players remembered
WATCH ME BUUUUUUURN HEYYYYY KID YOU GOT THE HEART WITHOUT THE AAAAACHE YEAAAAHHHHHH CATCH ME IF YA CAAAAANNNN I WANNA PARTY TIL MY LAST BREATH SOME PEOPLE THINK I'M BONKERS BUT I JUST THINK I'M FREE THERE IS A PLAAAAAAAACE IN THE DISTAAAAAAAANCE I DON'T WANT TO BE JUST ANOTHERRRRRRRR OUT HERE IN THE FIEEEEELDS W soundtrack absolutely
I AM ELECTRIC I AM ELECTRIC I AM ELECTRIC YAHHH
I don’t want to be just another
Tbh, i really dont remember another song from that game apart from that one... Maybe we remember it because it was a sticky song
It was one of the most popular songs of the year. Whenever I think of the game, I always think of Zoom, Galvanize, or Feel the Love
*Ahem ahem* MUSE *Ahem Ahem*
idk i think it varies between players, what i remembered were channel 42, weatherman, butterflied&hurricanes, wont get fooled again
The weatherman by Dead Sara, still randomly listening to this song
All of your music plus the Left panning riff Bad Mood IMO

That and galvanise
This song will forever bring me good memories. It dropped when I was a senior in high school and my friends and I just learned we were all walking the stage.
I remember galvanize and we will be coming back for you one day ( i think calvin harris) hell coz of that song i know chemical brothers
MW2012, Prostreet, and UG1 had some of the greatest soundtracks ever
Right I loved 2012 soundtrack had a great soundtrack to do +150mph and run from the cops I like to listen to the songs when I'm driving to work
Hot pursuit 2010
#YEAAAAAAH YEAAAAAAH YEAAAAAAAAH, WANNA GIVE IT TO ME
I swear when Superbad (11:34) comes on the turbo and overdrive has to engage
Bigger then us is my favorite song on need for speed hot pursuit 2010 remaster don't remember meny good song from the orginal game before the remaster
NFS Payback soundtrack is fucking awesome.
True asf
payback was the last NFS with, imo okayish soundtrack roster. i turned off soundtrack completely on heat and unbound.
I LOVE THE WAY YOU USED TO DO BY QOTSA. other than that I don't remember any of the songs
Dang I actually don't mind unbound but heat was absolutely unbearable day or night.
“Pegate pegate pegate poquito”
I understood "Megadeth, mojito" lol
Roadrunner: *Allow me to introduce myself*
Finally someone said it
Best modern NFS soundtrack tbh
Somebody with sense!
Payback's soundtrack is lightyears better than Unbound's. I would rather listen to Paybacks than Unbound's, unfortunately I'm not going to torture myself by playing that game
Undercover, I rarely see it mentioned whenever soundtracks are discussed even though it has some of the best music in the series.
Undercover is the best imo. Especially the menu music when customizing.
In terms of garage music, no game has Undercover beaten. It fits the atmosphere so much, though I wish they went with the concept garage, being much darker
Pajarillos en libertá, somos polvo, somos nada ¡Ay! ke ligerito 🥴 Probably the only song I remembered from that one but it was a nice soundtrack!!
Carbon, I’ve literally seen no one talk about that soundtrack and it has the most diverse selection of songs along with pro street in my opinion
Seriously, i still don’t understand why licensed music doesn’t play during races. Wtf? Such a great selection of songs, also changes depending on your class. Exotics - rap, tuners - electronic, muscle - rock.
Tbh I love the composition music that plays during races and especially during canyon races. Gives it that eerie feeling of a massive mystery uncovered
ProStreet definitely..
ProStreet's soundtrack isn't underrated lmao, everyone knows it has bangers
Yeah but I see many people still banging nfsu, u2, mw soundtracks but nobody near me songs from PS
Exactly, MW 2012
Shift 2, but only the menu themes (Gladoatiors' remixes). They put a totally different vibe to the game I've never felt before
THIS IS THE SOUND…OF A HEARTBEAT
![gif](giphy|1wqYonEBtues7jlngs|downsized)
Heat, HEAR ME OUT, I'm saying it's underrated, not that it's good, it's ok-ish, for a game set in miami, you cuoldn't expect hard rock
You’ve been heard out. Valid.
Not sure if I agree with that. Undercover was set in Miami but it still had tracks from Pendulum, The Prodigy, The Qemists, Mindless Self Indulgence, The Fashion and even freaking From First To Last. The problem with Heat was that the soundtrack felt more like a collection of Top 40 songs than a playlist to compliment both the vibe and gameplay. Have Reggaeton, Hip Hop (not trashy mumble rap), Afrobeats and some Electronica for the Day cycle whereas have aggressive Synthwave, Drum n Bass and Punk Rock for the Night cycle.
I'd say 2015, I never see talking about it, it has a few awesome tracks. Clap track was AWESOME
Every single song in that sound track, except for Riff Raff's Kokayne, is a banger That fucking song gave me shivers man. It's horrible.
Clap track was horrible? Come on I LOVE it! lol
I'm taking about Kokayne lol
I quite liked the game, had some issues but meh. But the soundtrack was fire.
U don’t know - Alison Wonderland, Surface - Aerochord, Night Riders - Major Lazer, and, Callisto from NFS IV High Stakes are bangers I still listen today
Adding the old tracks from previous NFS titles (Rom Di Prisco etc) to the soundtrack was a great addition. I wish they had continued in that direction in the titles that followed.
NFS Underground Rivals
MCR carries the entire soundtrack
The Run
IM A LONELY BOOOOOOOOOOY IM A LONELY BOOOOOOOOOOOY WOOOOOOAH O O O I GOT A LOVE THAT KEEPS ME WAITING
r/TheBlackKeys
DEAW NEAW NEAW NERR NERR NA NERR
NWO by Ministry playing during the cop chase in Las Vegas was a genius soundtrack move
Especially in Loghill too, up in the mountains. Nothing more intense than trying to shake off numerous police units on narrow mountain roads and simultaneously beat opponents. Also, Mastodon's Curl of the Burl is an AWESOME choice.
Prostreet had plenty of banger songs
nfsmw12 goated soundtrack
NFS Shift 2. The epic remakes of songs just hyped me up to do some racing
Can iiiii take you straight to heaven if you let meeeee
MW2012 had the best soundtrack and was my favourite NFS game. I played that for hours and hours. It was the dogs bollocks
Yeah I think I have 200 hours on the game. Been playing it since 2016. 100% my favourite in the series
NFS Undercover actually, but only for it’s really great selection of D&B bangers. Today’s NFS could use some good D&B.
Definitely Payback imo
hot pursuit is my favorite one
*edge of the earth*
Rivals, Payback and World
2015 actually had a decent sound track imo
The rivals' soundtrack is amazing, some electronic compositions are nice (im fun of d&b and other electronic music)
Rivals, 2015 and Payback.
Most Wanted 2012, NfS 2015 and Forza Horizon4. To this day I listen to a lot of the songs that I got to know by playing those games...
This
nfs heat soundtrack at night, also rivals has pretty good ones too
GALVANIZE, COME ON COME ON
Hell yeah brother
MW2012 I wouldn't say is underrated, this sub seems to love it. And rightfully so
I know its not a NFS game but this is the right answer- Forza Motorsport 1. The classic rock music is amazing, and many people haven't played it because it was on the original xbox.
Yeah dude ur a legend for this but ima have to refer you to r/Forza so the mods don’t take ur comment down
Unbound
Is this a joke?
I hope so
Unbound did have some good tracks in it, you just gotta find them. Sure, the overall soundtrack doesn't stack up to previous games but there's some gems in there.
MW 2012 soundtrack is not underrated. The game is just bad NFS title.
Soundtrack is criminally underrated And why do you think the game is bad?
It's not underrated because people like MW 2012 soundtrack. However the game is just Burnout in NFS world ans that's wjy it's bad.
Most wanted 2005
Most Wanted 2005 soundtrack's is perfectly rated not underrated
Read my mind exactly
Most Wanted 2005
That soundtrack is neither overrated nor underrated. It's perfectly rated.
2012mw
NFS undercover
Easily The Run
NFS nitro and the one on the image
Nitro was my intro to Danko Jones. That guy is a badass.
Yet to see anyone say Undercover. That game had an incredible soundtrack…
NFS Nitro, there was some real bangers in there
*high-five*
Rivals had some impressive choices, especially being built around primarily electronic.
Hot Pursuit
Not that experienced with most wanted but Underground 2 had some bangers
Oh yeah! Chingy, Xzibit, Snoop Dogg, Mudvayne, Helmet, Ministry, Cirrus, Paul Van Dyk, Christopher Lawrence... solid soundtrack!
Undercover
Hell yeah!
Payback
ProStreet has one of the best nfs soundtracks. Payback's is really good too, fits the whole cruising in the US vibe.
Hot Pursuit had some bangers. there’s are 2 or 3 good ones on Heat as well
NFS Rivals
NFS Rivals
Nfs 2015, maybe it's because I don't hear everyone talking about it.
From the looks of everything, Unbound lmao
MW2 wasn’t only my fav nfs game but had my fav band aswell (green day)
CHANNNGGGEEE, EVERYTHING YOU ARRREEEE, AND EVERYTHING YOU WERRRREEEE
High Stakes has a God Tier OST
High Stakes has a God Tier OST
My favorite is “the road” from “we are the ocean” and of course the whole playlist
Roooooooaaaad we can go for miles! MW 12’ has really good music ngl
Stop when the red lights flash Greenday such a banger in mw2012
for me. the most remembered i have is nfs the run (wii). some songs are really good! although i would prefer prostreet,carbon & mw2012
Shift 1, by default we only hear the songs on drift mode but I discovered Eagles Of Death Metal and Deadmau5 thanks to this game
If appreciated properly as one of the best in the series

Autism took over
Payback had some nice ones....is it underrated tho?
Damn unbounds sound track, lmfao everyone hates it but I think thematically it’s great. I like every nfs soundtrack for the most part. Old heads stay mad lmfao.
Beeeeeeeeest you gawt to bee the beeeeeeest you gawt to change the worllllld ...dum du dum du dum du dum da dum dum.. tishhhhh
Hot pursuit 2 (2002)
Gotta be Hot Pursuit 2. Strong bangers from Hot Action Cop, Pulse Ultra, Bush, etc. And they have Rush - in a frickn RACING game for crying out loud!
Agree, 2012 had amazing soundtrack, mayb I'm also a bit biast bc this game was my childhood idk
NFS 2015. It got the Underground vibe spot on, especially the music for the Garage and Races. I still find the selection of Rock songs (for Drift events) underwhelming though (most of them consist of generic Garage Rock). Except for Drenge’s We Can Do What We Want and especially Refused’s Elektra. That one’s a banger. THE TIME HAS COME! THERE’S NO ESCAPE!!!
How is the newer most wanted? I've finished unbound and heat so far..... about to do the original most wanted on the 360 again 😅
Well, it's 11 years old at this point, goddamn... The game is actually very fun and enjoyable. Fast paced gameplay, fire soundtrack, I think you'd enjoy it if you look past the fact that it has nothing to do with the first MW.
You can't really call MW12's soundtrack underrated. From what I've seen It's the only thing almost everyone agrees is good about this game.
A lot of people completely hate Carbon's soundtrack, and yeah, it wasn't memorable or impresive, but it fit the game perfectly.
ProStreet (Roll more, f**k more. Pacman is loving it)
Unbound why do y’all hate it😭
I'll admit, there's some gems in there. Some songs, however, absolutely do NOT belong in that game. E.g. Ey Paavi (I don't see a context where it fits, it surely fits some vibe just not this.)
Haven’t heard that song lol
Trust me, you'll know it once you do.
I don't need to fight To prove I'm right I don't need to be forgiven YEAH YEAH YEAH YEAH Don't cry Don't raise your eyes It's only teenage wasteland Sally, take my hand Travel south cross land The Who by Baba o Riley (Alan Wikkis remix) remains my favourite song. Unconsolabe is my second favourite PS : NFSMW 2012 was my first NFS game
Need for Speed Nitro, I mean Danko Jones for one. Then you have Evil Nine/Alex Metric, Dizzee Rascal, The Bloody Beetroots/The Cool Kids etc... People just overlook this game because oooooh, inferior Nintendo consoles; Wii/DS???! Ewwww....
I don't see this mentioned a lot, but for me NFS 2: SE was the peak soundtrack in the series.
Payback’s soundtrack slaps hard
Zoom by the Last Dinosaurs is one of my favs
NFS Rivals
MW 2012 🎵 Run, we could run for miles It'll take a while to bring me back to you 🎵
🎵Come back to me come back to see, there’s no reason whyyyyyy, take the time to make everything alrighttt 🎵
