Absolutely, I really enjoyed this track! My top 3: Syles of Beyond - Nine Though Superstars Remix (The Original Most Wanted) Lil Jon - Get Low (From Underground 1) I'm not really a fan of rap but these tracks fit to the genre 30STM - Night of the Hunter ^^
This is the perfect song just before you're about to do something inherently dangerous. When you're suiting up for a race. You're looking her over, examining the lines in careful detail, running your hand over the carbon fiber bodywork ever so slightly, getting acquainted with the car/motorcycle and becoming one. A symbiotic relationship between man and machine, counting on one another to get to the finish, or die trying. Nothing short of victory is the expectation, everything you've worked for. The blood, the sweat, the tears, the sacrifice, the time. Everything you have strived to achieve, that you have perfected, that manifested into sheer will to eventually overcome any and all weaknesses and yet, you wonder if it was enough in the end? Did you do everything you could to ensure victory? Or will you come up short and if you do, can you muster the strength, the courage to go on, or will the fear of failure weigh you down? None of it matters, because you are here, now, no matter the outcome, you will do everything in your power to be on top, to show that you belong. You remember that your failures are the reason you have progressed to this success. You close your eyes, trying to settle those nerves as you tell yourself, you will not go down without a fight and neither will those you face with the same goal in mind as you. It is at this moment the haze in your mind disappates and the clarity comes. You hop in and switch on the ignition hearing the roar from the engine's cold start come to life. All those feelings you had steadily fade away, leaving only the task at hand remaining. You become completely stoic because you know what you have to do, what you are destined to do, and no one, is going to take that away from you. "Courage is not the absence of fear, it is the ability to keep going, in spite of it. That's how legends are born."
Honestly, I think the atmosphere on this game is unique compared to the other NFS titles. If you watch the teaser trailer, you know the producers wanted to recreate the tension and fear a pilot feels during an intense race. It's an euphoric experience both during the race AND before it, which, in my opinion, these remixes portray perfectly. Compare this to the menu music in Destruction Derby 2. It's the aural equivalent of the anticipation of the carnage you'll encounter down the road. A unique setting still unmatched to this day.
CARSRacingGames Shift 2 is much better than Project Cars... Shift have better cars, better single player campaign, better sense of speed, better soundtrack and more.. Project Cars dont have tuning, dont have drifting or drag races and is very hard to play Project Cars on Xbox or PS4 controller.
Szejker PL PC2 is hard to play with a controller because it's a pure simulation game, you really need a steering wheel to enjoy the game...and PC2 is a great game for people like me who looooove auto sports..SHIFT 2 is just as amazing as PC2 but it is a bit arcade than PC2
I understand Shift is yours; however, NFS Hot Pursuit 2 (2002) is the best need for speed game to me. Best soundtrack of all nfs games, great race tracks, amazing scenaries for Gamecube game, and most of all no crash scenes. Also the cops are badass in that game compared to others, not that the rest are terrible or anything.
I know that this game is different from the rest. I played and own NFS Shift on my PSP (it's the inferior version but its still something) and Shift 2: Unleashed and Prostreet play out exactly like Shift even though both Shifts came out after Prostreet. All I'm saying is that Hot Pursuit is an amazing title. Sure Shift may not contain cops and plays out like your driving simulator similar to Gran Turismo and Forza Motorsport, however this games appeals to audiences like yourself where cars feel like they do in real life.
I have the two shifts both are incredible....but for me shift 2 is one of the best racing games ever made...and the best nfs ever made...the atmosphere of the game is perfect, the races are so aggressive and fast like hell...i've played tons of racing games and i can say this is the best i've played, in easy is still hard to win damn!!! I can say it cause i started it all over again 2 days ago....but i can't complain i love it
in my opinion one of the best nfs's ever made ! amazing soundtrack !! it gives me goosebumbs all over ! and when i first played that game i was like ! " WHAT THE FUCK THIS IS SOO BEAUTIFUL !" This music is just amazing !
Racing isn't a joke, and this song tells you definitively well, if theres one thing you want to be aware of, it's trying not to die during a race, Not just that... The adrenaline feel this song gives you makes you really think about IRL Racers and what they have to deal with, you may look at racing yourself and think, "It doesn't look that scary!" But trust me my friend, racing is horrifying, it's an experience you'll either come back from, or it'll be the last time you see the sun EVER! Many people have died from racing and I respect them from being professional enough to take such a role thats as dangerous as skydiving, and I respect them soley for how much danger they put themselves through, May they rest in peace forever... ❤❤❤
That's highly opinionated and ignorant. They have a different and specific OST's for that type of genre. So just because you don't like, doesn't mean it's always shit. Battlefield 3-4 has a great Theme ost, love it, and so do I love this one. Specifically for racing, these OST's in Shift 2 are the best imo, regarding racing games.
Imagine joining the gameplay and the audio quality of the NFS Shift 2, with the perfect customization, and the vibe of the environments of the events of NFS ProStreet. It would be a perfect match.
I don't know what lead me suddenly remember this soundrack today, and here I'm listening this...bring back my old memory playing this game, the vibe undescribable 😊
I know people won't agree with me on this, but this DOES NOT sound like it belongs in a racing game, it sounds like it belongs in a war film, or a medieval fantasy story with dark undertones.
best songlist for a video game. EVER. 3 of my favourite bands, plus about 5 songs which i like, remixed WELL for once. i'm thinking of buying this video game, just to sit on that EA trax thing or whatever and listen to the music for hours on end.
Wow it has been almost a decade since I lat heard this song. And it brings me nervousness. There are a million better soundtracks out there, but because I interacted with this one first, it has impacted me for life. Bravo!
2:44 you reach the finish line in pole position. Slowly coming to a stop after the fight for your life. Still trying to catch your breath, you gaze into the setting sun. (Ik it’s cringe but idc)🤷🏻♂️
Omg this is the best ever!!!!! I got a lot of good shivers and goosebumps all over me listening to this,wow its Amazing,I Love it so much!!!!! :D His voice is gorgeous.
If they made another story deiven nfs with the mw/carbon protagonist, this would be the perfect song for a m3 rebuilt scene. His dream car brought back from the grave and the hesitation and thrill to drive it again.
This Is The Best Remix From 30 Seconds To Mars, I Love This One!!!, And I Have Shift 2 Unleashed For PS3!!!, Better Than The Original The Song!!! :-) The Gladiator Mix!!! =D
Probably one of the best menu themes in the world of Need for Speed
if u have a car download it and listen when ur driving at night, alone.... just try it... and some other Shift2 menu themes
George FromGeorgia
that is fun but i did it cop didnt take the story haha
***** That goes for NFS Porsche as well.

Woooo ..
uwu?
The actual fuck
You just put the feeling this song gives me into words
It's been 10 years since the game was released, and I still listen to these soundtracks.
🤘
Yup
👌👍
👌
12 years almost 13. These soundtracks are epic.
0:45 to 1:26 is just phenomenal, shift 2 has such great menu music
GTRDrifter I agree. Is like they use soundtracks for true heroes (the racers)
The night of the hunter begins!
Yeah. Its a shame they let Slightly Mad develop this though. EA Black Box made the best NFS games
@@niko1600 Wth? SMS makes the best games ever, EA sucked at making sim racers so they made SMS which hell they are amazing
@@fanaticofmetal Bro, just look at reality. SMS failed in the physics department and Project Cars 3 is a joke.

Why is no one making such amazing epic soundtracks for games, movies and trailers now?
плюсую
Unfortunately never no more, I miss 2011 so much 🤧
Hands down the best non-radio game soundtrack ever.
If they were ever to remaster a NFS, I hope Shift 2 is one the games they do decide to remaster
it called project CARS ;)
CARSRacingGames Shift 2 is much better than Project Cars... Shift have better cars, better single player campaign, better sense of speed, better soundtrack and more..

😱😱😱😱
RIP Ears. :O

Sup brah!
Best NFS in my opinion. I love all soundtracks from that game.
they need to make shift 3. that would wake nfs from the dead
But there's one problem-Slightly Mad Studios left EA group and made Project Cars, which is, as everybody knows, really bad game with nice physics.
I understand Shift is yours; however, NFS Hot Pursuit 2 (2002) is the best need for speed game to me. Best soundtrack of all nfs games, great race tracks, amazing scenaries for Gamecube game, and most of all no crash scenes. Also the cops are badass in that game compared to others, not that the rest are terrible or anything.
These NFS are diffrent-you can't compare one to each other.

One night to REMEMBER
One day it'll all just END...
Shift 2 wins the best soundtrack for a game, possibly ever. I'm old. 33 years old. And this is my view.
May 10th 2022 and I'm still listening. Never stop racing
11 years later, I still remember how hyped I was for Shift 2 🥲oh man I miss 2011 so much 🤧
@@fra93ilgrande good times back then, good times
everytime i want to play any racing games, i always play this music no matter what racing games i play

@@Blazerri you car guy?
@@Blazerri My bad lol
Shift 2 is a masterpiece
This song brings so many memories back when I used to play it on the xbox 360
Most epic thing I've ever heard
Beautiful Song
1:00 you got the lambo full modified rotating on the screen you take a sip off your drink and start a race
3 minutes of constant thrill
Holy shit, a racing game has a better soundtrack than COD or Battlefield!
They don't really have sound tracks like this and they're shit sound tracks anyway since they're shooters
That's highly opinionated and ignorant. They have a different and specific OST's for that type of genre. So just because you don't like, doesn't mean it's always shit.

TheMasterChink Give respect to need for speed.
Not when it's Hans Zimmer
Lmao the cod waw russian theme is way more intense than this
That was the last good soundtrack for 4 years now. That makes me kinda sad...
Tomasz Korynek It still is
Tomasz Korynek thanks to slightly mad studios :)
Tomasz Korynek most wanted 2012 and Rivals had pretty good soundtracks.
How could someone dislike this? I mean, this is EPIC!!!! :O
They couldn't make the first corner.
The menu music in this game was incredible, I cant name a single song I did not like
Хочется жить под эту музыку -_-
Мистер Дудец поддерживаю ._.
Seriously, this music sounds like it belongs in the main menu of an 18+ fighting or stealth/open world game lol.
Well... Motorsports are just as dangerous and violent as fighting.
@@SufferPinkehh no better than fighting cause u have to highly IQ in prix.
I wish they did like 3 hour mixes of this stuff, I could sit there in pure relaxation for hours.
When I hear this song, I see myself, in a pit box, staring at my car the dawn of a big race, like Le Mans, and I see myself, winning it all.
Imagine joining the gameplay and the audio quality of the NFS Shift 2, with the perfect customization, and the vibe of the environments of the events of NFS ProStreet. It would be a perfect match.
And the plot is like in the TOCA Race Driver series...Then everyone would definitely gasp)
0:45 gives me the feeling like the sunrise after raining in the track.
1:03 - Epic
Pozdrawiam koleżankę ;)
There's so much soul in these soundtracks
Wow... This remix actually extends an already awesome song to a whole new level!! Superb!
0:38 - me staring at my fully modified EVO 9 rotating on the screen
Shift 2 soundtrack this is ost with nostalgia old nfs
One of the epic songs ever heard. Gives that cinematic effect to it. Should be a song they play for football.
Forchux Lol football nowhere near as epic as racing
I don't know what lead me suddenly remember this soundrack today, and here I'm listening this...bring back my old memory playing this game, the vibe undescribable 😊
Sounds cinematic!
And dramatic 🤧 really gets you in the hype for serious racing
DAMN the memories... one of the best NFS menu songs. After NFS Hot Pursuit 2011
First time I've heard this song was in the menu, and it is definitely amazing!
best soundtrack ever
I know people won't agree with me on this, but this DOES NOT sound like it belongs in a racing game, it sounds like it belongs in a war film, or a medieval fantasy story with dark undertones.
I agree, pretty good soundtrack though
recuerdo quedarme en el menú solo para escuchar estos soundtracks de lujo, se pasaron con este juego me encanta todo
Legendary theme! The best soundtrack till date. The game is fierce specially River Casino Riviera and Franco D Champs!
This game was intense man! No joke!..
Thanks for the uploads! The Gadiator remixes are really great for just kicking back.
1:27 "Some say.... I'm the reverse"
I wish I could still play this online with people. I truly love this game. I still have both Shift's. I thought they were amazing.
We know.
At least Shift 1 has LAN multiplayer
Goosebumps.

Epic to your earbuds if you listen with your earphones.
*Lendário, simplesmente lendário...*
2018!!???? EPIC!!
2019 here!👌
@KFC Bucket 👍
0:46 "The New World Is coming"
Who still playing this in 2024?
crying every time when i listen this
one of the best songs on the game!!
On my point of view it's the most powerful soundtrack who i heared before
Jan. 28th 2020 and it's still a masterpiece.....RIP to Kobe Bryant and those lost in the helicopter crash.
Thank you so much for the uploads!
I'm downloading the mp3s now and faving all your videos :)
2:44 you reach the finish line in pole position. Slowly coming to a stop after the fight for your life. Still trying to catch your breath, you gaze into the setting sun.

oh my god, score music, and mars. my life is complete
NFS ALLLLL DAYYYYYYY
Omg this is the best ever!!!!! I got a lot of good shivers and goosebumps all over me listening to this,wow its Amazing,I Love it so much!!!!! :D His voice is gorgeous.
Thumbs up for Stephen Baysted who arranged/composed this arrangement along with the band for this game :D
That's gotta be one of the most "adrenalinic" games I've ever played.
tbh this is the only NFS game im enjoying since nfs carbon xD
If they made another story deiven nfs with the mw/carbon protagonist, this would be the perfect song for a m3 rebuilt scene. His dream car brought back from the grave and the hesitation and thrill to drive it again.
get goosebumps from this
This Is The Best Remix From 30 Seconds To Mars, I Love This One!!!, And I Have Shift 2 Unleashed For PS3!!!, Better Than The Original The Song!!! :-) The Gladiator Mix!!! =D
Leto was good enough created this masterpiece. All hail da king!!!
One of the best soundtrack in game industry. In one line with Max Payne and Deus EX human revolution.
Will never let this go ….
these songs have very good quality!
just played this game, wow...what a song
Ohhhh, Ooooh Oh Oh Ohaaaa!! Oh oh oh oh Oooooh!!!
Very nice soundtrack.
raise your likes if you came back here after 12 years later😂
i still love it's helmet cam
I miss this game and using Nismo GTR
The one on the left is a Nissan Gtr R35 the one on the right is a Maserati.
I'm glad I played this game because playing Project CARS afterward made it very familiar yet very new at the same time.
It's scary! This is game has been turned into a horror film compared to the 1st one, and now I'm beggining to like SHIFT!
Shift 2 Unleashed
My Summer Car
Good Gladiator Remix
This Music Is Awesome And It's Like My Final Snap And I Like The Song
Just EPIC! Thanx!!
NO WONDER ITS SO EPIC Ramin Djawadi
If there ever was a racing game perfect for a movie adaptation it would be Shift.
What a tune!!!
i screamed when i heard: "i was born..."
epic as hell
Damn that nostalgia
It seems like EA is a fan of 30 Seconds To Mars since they have added some songs to some of their games.
Very late reply but most definitely lol. Even in Dragon Age: Origins out of all games!
That is true, and the game does go into detail, showing your view getting distorted when you crash into cars and walls lol.
@CookieMonsturrrrrrrr 30 Seconds To Mars = total love from me! (: ♥
0:45 epic
i found it
