Initial D and Tokyo Xtreme Racer series.
DAYTONAAAAAA... Let's go away!
Do-do-do-do-do-do-Daytooooooooooooooonaaaaaaaaa!
Need For Speed - Underground 2
I love this game. The soundtrack and atmosphere are perfect
Midnight Club 3
Really basic, but Mario Kart DS specifically. The gameplay does not do it for me, but the way it sounds coming out of the DS's Speakers sounds amazing. Though, Mario Kart 64 & Wii are probably really close for me out of sheer nostalgia.
Gran Turismo - the first one
And Two honestly.
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
og wipeout
ez
NFS underground or most wanted.
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.
Prostreet too
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.
Rock n' Roll Racing.
Burnout 3
Flatout: Ultimate Carnage or Need For Speed: Underground
Yep Underground
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!
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.
My shortlist is probably WipEout Pulse (I love how that entire series feels like a game made out of electronic music, the same way Doom is made out of metal), WipEout 2048 (for the same reason, but I played it even more), Forza Motorsport 2 (cuz it had a huge influence on my taste at a very young age), and then maybe Gran Turismo 5?
I don't even like that genre of music much, but it is so perfect for Wipeout and the selection is excellent
in the following order:
It's not a car racing game, but SSX 3 had such a great soundtrack. It's hard to find nowadays.
Does SSX count as a racing game?
If so, SSX was huge for my prepubescent self.
Burnout Paradise 🎶Take me down to the Paradise City Where the grass is green and the girls are pretty🎵
Ridge Racer Type 4 isn’t here?
Boo.
Moto Racer 2 soundtrack, my favorite ska punk "album"
Rocket Leagues first OST. The following seasons had some good stuff as well, but man, 2015s Rocket League featured a string of bangers!
While not a racing game in the traditional sense, the soundtrack for I Am Your Beast is what cocaine sounds like. Listen to Negative Time without vibing, I bet you can't.
ATV Off-road Fury had a good one
Art Of Rally!
Lotus Esprit Turbo Challenge and Project Gotham Racing.
