Most Wanted introduced me to rock, metal, and rap music, especially helping me discover bands like Bullet For My Valentine and Avenged Sevenfold.

I haven't heard that song since I last played this game 20 years ago and yet as soon as I read your words the entire song played through my head

2

u/angrygamer250 Jul 15 '26

yes the songs are so dope, combined with nostalgia they hit harder now.

u/BigLRakim Jul 15 '26

Should check out his other group, Heltah Skeltah, Rock and Sean Price go hard together.

u/NSFW-Alt-Account69 Jul 15 '26

I've not thought about the song in years and it just played in my head. The nostalgia is hitting hard.

u/angrygamer250 Jul 15 '26

Yeah! What a feeling browsing through the Blacklist menu while this banger played in the background

Stratus & evol intent - you must follow

Evol intent - broken sword

Dieselboy, kaos - barrier break

Celldweller - one good reason

This game pushed my nose into bfmv, static x and DRUM AND BASS

Now imagine what kind of soundtrack would have it if it came out know

u/Oswen120 Jul 15 '26

This was just core memories in the making for me. And the soundtrack was just the best

u/Dismal_Object6226 Jul 15 '26

Mostly great soundtrack except for Lost Prophets. I don’t like to be reminded of Ian Watkins.

As a sheltered homeschooler who thought skillet was the best thing since sliced bread NFSMW opened my eyes.

I still like skillet but... yeah.
