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.

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.

[-] nyctre@lemmy.world 3 points 2 weeks ago

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.

[-] nyctre@lemmy.world 3 points 2 weeks ago

Never played it, but it has kyuss. That alone makes it great. The rest are a bonus.

[-] gandolfini_the_grey@lemm.ee 3 points 2 weeks ago

I love this game. The soundtrack and atmosphere are perfect

[-] missingno@fedia.io 6 points 2 weeks ago

F-Zero GX, hands down. Nothing else is even close.

[-] HipsterTenZero@dormi.zone 1 points 2 weeks ago

Hell yeah, F-Zero.

[-] Zahille7@lemmy.world 6 points 2 weeks ago

MX Vs. ATV Unleashed

Something about the early 2000s alt and buttrock that just does it for me.

Sonic R
It's a hill I'm willing to die on.

[-] TokenEffort@sh.itjust.works 2 points 2 weeks ago

They put all the budget into the music lol

[-] proti@lemmy.world 1 points 2 weeks ago

true, at least someone had their priorities straight!

[-] koncertejo@lemmy.ml 5 points 2 weeks ago

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?

[-] Skua@kbin.earth 2 points 2 weeks ago

I don't even like that genre of music much, but it is so perfect for Wipeout and the selection is excellent

It's not a car racing game, but SSX 3 had such a great soundtrack. It's hard to find nowadays.

Burnout Paradise 🎶Take me down to the Paradise City Where the grass is green and the girls are pretty🎵

[-] AndyMFK@lemmy.dbzer0.com 4 points 2 weeks ago

Gran Turismo - the first one

[-] curiousaur@reddthat.com 1 points 2 weeks ago

And Two honestly.

[-] YewEyeOwe31@lemmings.world 4 points 2 weeks ago

Does SSX count as a racing game?

If so, SSX was huge for my prepubescent self.

[-] tanisnikana@lemmy.world 4 points 2 weeks ago

Ridge Racer Type 4 isn’t here?

Boo.

[-] LordCrom@lemmy.world 4 points 2 weeks ago

What was the name of that motorcycle racing game where you also beat up other racers all while racing to Soundgarden..... That one.

[-] gandolfini_the_grey@lemm.ee 2 points 2 weeks ago
[-] LordCrom@lemmy.world 1 points 2 weeks ago

Yes thats it. I gotta go find that disk somewhere in my old folders now

[-] callouscomic@lemm.ee 3 points 2 weeks ago

Midnight Club 3

[-] waterproof@sh.itjust.works 3 points 2 weeks ago

probably Distance

[-] toddestan@lemm.ee 3 points 2 weeks ago

Rock n' Roll Racing.

[-] PoscoBumbleroot@lemmy.world 3 points 2 weeks ago

ATV Off-road Fury had a good one

[-] tatann@lemm.ee 3 points 2 weeks ago

Moto Racer 2 soundtrack, my favorite ska punk "album"

[-] goombakid@lemmy.world 2 points 2 weeks ago

Initial D and Tokyo Xtreme Racer series.

[-] AstralPath@lemmy.ca 2 points 2 weeks ago

Art Of Rally!

[-] BrutallyHonestPOS@lemm.ee 2 points 2 weeks ago

Rocket Leagues first OST. The following seasons had some good stuff as well, but man, 2015s Rocket League featured a string of bangers!

[-] MyNameIsAtticus@lemmy.world 2 points 2 weeks ago

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.

[-] blomvik@sopuli.xyz 1 points 2 weeks ago

Lotus Esprit Turbo Challenge and Project Gotham Racing.

DAYTONAAAAAA... Let's go away!

[-] RizzRustbolt@lemmy.world 1 points 2 weeks ago

Do-do-do-do-do-do-Daytooooooooooooooonaaaaaaaaa!

[-] CaptSatelliteJack@lemy.lol 1 points 2 weeks ago

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.
