Back when a soundtrack would be more popular than the game itself. Shoutout to everyone who got to experience this masterpiece when it was still fresh.
i played this game countless hours... sometimes just enjoyin a ride in my car and not racing.. such a beast mode sound track. this is from an era of games being good. didnt need online multiplayer
Ghost city glitch.... My God 11 years passed and I still remember every detail... URL Drags Bayview The mighty airport Beacon Hill And of course the harbour
Krisha Actually it was a highway that was a giant circle. when you play the game again. pay attention. you will see the same billboards same buildings etc. like i said. it's a circle. look at the map in the game.
I squeezed every possible drop of value & enjoyment out of this game. I played it in GameStop before I even had a console, beat the story multiple times, maxed every vehicle, tuned every vehicle for fastest drag race times, multiple drift competition all-nighters solo and with homies... Honestly it planted & fueled my passion for cars. I'm 30 now & an automotive engineer & mobile mechanic. This video game is a masterpiece.
You still have good producers like duke dumont, disclosure, roger Sanchez, chris lake,Otto knows, etc. . They just don't the recognition they deserve. The only popular electronic producer that I would cos ider really good is zedd or avicii; Calvin Harris is alright but not great
@David I also drive only 350Z and Skyline,I didn't do performance tuning on my Skyline though.Thats why I couldnt go as fast as you were I think.So you tuned your car to go full top speed instead of accelerating quickly right?
My top speed is 412km/h with the Skyline (from Coal Harbor east to city centre with full nitrous and custom transmission, ecu, turbo and nitrous tune). You can also try the ecutn1b save game, it's really good.
Hi , bottom line, you'll never make it to the active runway. Too many vehicles after you. As a pilot, you will be executing a go around. Your car just might be rolling over and over from the jet blast. I saw someone run out once, he lived. I only wish there was more video. You can't see directly down and back from the cockpit...
@@GregoryWMoore I dont expect you to ever see this comment, but OPs comment is referring to the landing planes on the runway races for UG2. The objective was obviously to win the race so smashing into a landing jet and totalling out your car wasn't something alot of people did.
In the game, literally nothing. I've tried the out of bounds glitch on the airport strip and turns out the plane is just a giant texture and nothing else. It passes through your car like it was nothing
Thank you guys for providing me with some common sense! I have the slightest idea why I never thought to hit NOS when she's says "take me on a Rocket Rode!" The hunt is now on for a PS2 and a copy of NFSU2!
are you kidding me dude? i have nfs underground 1 to prostreet and burnout 3 soundtracks on my ipod, i need speed to outrun the police in my 1992 geo metro
IMO they need to remaster the original games, or at least NFS4: Hot Stakes. There's just something about exotic supercars, electronica soundtrack and beautiful scenery that no other game in the series has after Hot Pursuit 2. They tried to return to the streetracing era in 2015 and Heat and it's just not the same anymore.
This video game and this song changed my life. It defined my taste in music. I’d listen to Chicago radio, 97.9 the loop before this. Now I love Dan Deacon.
Need for Speed Underground 1&2, and Most Wanted was the only car games I truly loved. The soundtrack, story, and customization for your vehicles was too good
Essa música pra mim é uma obra prima, que eu descobri através desse game lendário. Umas das melhores músicas electro que já ouvi, a quantidade de som embutida nessa música é sensacional. (Detalhe, escutem a versão original desse remix dessa musica sem os cortes, é melhor ainda) Recomendo que escutem mais músicas do Soulwax e do Felix De Housecat, ambos artista são sensacionais!
I remember quite clearly, I was speeding on the highway with this song when I crashed into a white van. I was puzzled that I couldn't see the wreck but then, suddenly about 100 meters further ahead it suddenly came crushing down somewhere infront of me. Rocket ride eh?
2004: i was 10 Years Old. I had Already Played NFS Underground. I just Realy Got Into cars Back then. My Grandpa had A Blue Nissan 240SX S13 Hatchback (Wich is A Rare car In Germany) and In Any Game I had since Then I had To have At least 1 Darkblue Nissan 240SX With Brass 6 Spokes. Right now im saving up for A Dacia Sandero But a Dream of mine Is To have Driven a 350Z or 240SX At least once.
Airport races
***** Or drift moutain races
highway races too 😍😍
+REALiEN
Airport races were the best.
When Boing 747 coming down, i always raced the Planes with full Nitro.
+Alize Cook THE MOTHER FUCKIN INFINITE HIGHWAY OF BAYVIEW.
I spent far too much time going in circles just cruising! damn that game is too much fun!
Put NOS on every time she said "Take me on a rocket ride"
+Umar Ishaq :D
I THOUGHT I WAS THE ONLY ONE WITH THE SAME IDEA :D
I think i did that too! Cant remember
I did it to. Now I can't. Game is ded. Rip game
u can still get it im playing it right now ;3
Back when a soundtrack would be more popular than the game itself. Shoutout to everyone who got to experience this masterpiece when it was still fresh.
i've put this song into my summer car game cd disc
and i alreaady cant wait to race the yellow car guy
finished the game over and over again like 15 times back in the day
True bro, true. I am being nostalgic now. And you're right, I am happy for everybody who had the pleasure to experience this.
I can't believe it's been almost 20 years! I feel old, mannn.
More popular than the game itself? My brother in Christ, you probably don't realize how loved and missed NFSU2 has become. Truly a timeless classic
I woke up one day and I was like "take me on a rocket ride" and the instrumental was already playing in my head.
"Take me on a rocket ride".
Me when playing Underground 2 in 2023: hatenai yo stories egaki tsudzukeyo!
🙌🏾😭😎🔥
You clearly made this up. How can 126 ppl be so dumb and believe you?🤦🏼♂️ Wtf
i played this game countless hours... sometimes just enjoyin a ride in my car and not racing.. such a beast mode sound track. this is from an era of games being good. didnt need online multiplayer
amen.
@Mr Loco there used to be a comment before me .
👏👏👏
Yeah, age where the developers poured their blood and swept making sure the game they released felt finished, and damn near without no problems.
@@ShiftNovaagree. 2000s NFS games are all still GOATED and not felt rushed unlike the NFS games from 2020s.
TAKE ME ON A ROCKET RIDE❤️
I haven't heard this song in years and it just popped into my head while doing the dishes. Glad I came here
+rammice Hahahaah, I was taking a shower and then it hit me :D
i whas on a stream, watching war thunder.
intense dogfights plus this song? epic!
dude same wtf
lmao i was watching rush hour and it popped into my head
Ghost city glitch....
My God 11 years passed and I still remember every detail...
URL
Drags
Bayview
The mighty airport
Beacon Hill
And of course the harbour
Don't forget the never ending highway
+Swathing Spear26 that took you kinda almost no were
I still remember that glitch that would let you free roam in the airport
What infinite highway? What harbour?

i just typed "rocket ride" in the youtube search bar... the first three videos are fortnite videos damn where are the times
Me too
Yup
Hey you stole my idea! :D
idk why people hate fortnite so much, they used to do the same thing to minecraft why hate on some random kid who didn't join our circlejerk
@@nvmeless420 xDD nice
Nissan 240SX, those memories :)
+DopeThug Mitsubishi Eclipse jumping on the start line :D
Lol, 240sx was the best starting vehicle. Other then Hachi-roku.
DONT FORGET CIVIC
350Z ♥️♥️
I always choose Ford Focus though.
I can't believe it's been almost 20 years! I feel old, mannn.
This remix is a new level of an original track,completely different and much better.
Shows the real sense of mixing.
Preach
S O U L W A X
But damn, they don't make electronica like they used. This song was sexy xD
You still have good producers like duke dumont, disclosure, roger Sanchez, chris lake,Otto knows, etc. . They just don't the recognition they deserve. The only popular electronic producer that I would cos ider really good is zedd or avicii; Calvin Harris is alright but not great
Disclosure and duke dumont are good
I'll check that out too
Lol
ThereMayBeLions listen FlyLo,Hudson Mohawke,Lfo.Guts who are on warp and ninja tune
I'm so happy I'm getting a 350z next year 👑
+Bulgarian Dota you lucky... I'm jealous of you.
lol nice, I own a VW Golf
it's a small ass car.
Sooo, you got it?
@@Vojingamer wondering the same thing
Bro my brain literally was like “take me on a rocket ride” haven’t heard this or anything in like 10 years lol
thats what happened to me aswell lol
Fully maxed out 350z and drifting up the bayview mountain side w/ my dad.. Good times.. Anyone remember the burger king car glitch?
Never knew it.
+Turtwig it's a cheat not a glitch
we got a bad ass over here ... lol
Heard this song while testing Nissan Skyline R34 top speed on highway.. Those feelings.
Edit: Can't believe i found my comment again after 5 years lol
girls also?
What was your record top speed? Mine was 386 kph
@David I also drive only 350Z and Skyline,I didn't do performance tuning on my Skyline though.Thats why I couldnt go as fast as you were I think.So you tuned your car to go full top speed instead of accelerating quickly right?
@@mehmeteminsavas6555 377 kph for me. And I tried everything but that was my ultimate top speed
My top speed is 412km/h with the Skyline (from Coal Harbor east to city centre with full nitrous and custom transmission, ecu, turbo and nitrous tune). You can also try the ecutn1b save game, it's really good.
Its the first game i've played and its still my favourite and i play it still on a ps2
My favorite song to drift to.
Peter Rebadomia 👏👏👏😍
bu...but.....there is no music during drift races in NFSU2 :(
Anyway, irl I bet this song is perfect to accompany drift
I'm feeling bad about that our childs won't see awesome games like these...
Keep a hold of your game. I have a complete collection of Need for Speed....except for this copy, whom I lost to a girlfriend
Our childs ..
This was as good as open racing games got, EVER, with the exception of maybe Test Drive Unlimited 2
YoursTruly_GTG And now Forza Horizon
ağla
Lancer Evolution VIII, doesnt get more Rocket Ride than that.
Maxed out Nissan 350Z
𝔾𝕒𝕞𝕚𝕟𝕘ℝ𝕚𝕤𝕚𝕟𝕘 lol, maybe if it was drifting.
This game made me a Subaru Impreza fan just saying, I now drive a 2010 STI because of this
President Donald J. Trump this game made me a MK4 golf GTI fan :D and NFS MW made me a MK5 GTI fan toooo
Completely maxed out Nissan 350Z and Skyline can get much faster than a Lancer Evo,386 kph was my record
All those years have passed and I still wonder what happens if you drive into landing plane on airport
Hi , bottom line, you'll never make it to the active runway. Too many vehicles after you. As a pilot, you will be executing a go around. Your car just might be rolling over and over from the jet blast. I saw someone run out once, he lived. I only wish there was more video. You can't see directly down and back from the cockpit...

Easily the most memorable track for me!
I love music from this game. This song was always one of my favourites on the soundtrack.
Thanks for uploading!!!
I used to play the game just to hear the soundtrack while you were driving. Amazing times and music. Greetings from Mexico
I vote that next game they remake is an open world remake of the Need for Speed Underground series. Enter: Underground 3
May the execs hear you!
What the hell happen NFS WTF!!
Actually there's one nfs open world world.needforspeed.com
Frankylidous Besides this game, I mean more Open World like Underground 2
Agree with you
Thank you guys for providing me with some common sense! I have the slightest idea why I never thought to hit NOS when she's says "take me on a Rocket Rode!" The hunt is now on for a PS2 and a copy of NFSU2!
Advice from me: don't listen to it while driving
Haha
It's one of the songs to listen to while driving!
I did that with Rush Hour from this by Christopher Lawrence. Looked down, saw I was going 110 in a 65 and had to slow down >>
don't listen to "Speed-Teenager Atari Riot" while driving
are you kidding me dude? i have nfs underground 1 to prostreet and burnout 3 soundtracks on my ipod, i need speed to outrun the police in my 1992 geo metro
Best game and best music.... Its friggin true that past days of music were srsly better.. Todays music sucks
Sadly you are right.
If it makes ya feel any better soulwax is still around
you're goddamn RIGHT.
manovardast thats true my friend
Not all Today's Music sucks.
*Reach the Photographer in **02:59*
Olá General, brasileiro, não?
Seriously... they MUST remastered mostwanted, carbon, and this game
Ya NFS MW 2005 seriously need a remaster
And this song.
IMO they need to remaster the original games, or at least NFS4: Hot Stakes. There's just something about exotic supercars, electronica soundtrack and beautiful scenery that no other game in the series has after Hot Pursuit 2. They tried to return to the streetracing era in 2015 and Heat and it's just not the same anymore.
if they remaster it now in ea current state we going to end up with another nfs payback on our hands
they cant, its property of blackbox, even if the company doesnt exists anymore its their property
This video game and this song changed my life. It defined my taste in music. I’d listen to Chicago radio, 97.9 the loop before this. Now I love Dan Deacon.
🎶Take me out a rocket ride🎶
I recognized the artist from Midnight Club II. Both NFS Underground 2 and MCII are great games.
I used to play both on the first Xbox when I was 8, shit was awesome
In my opinion MCII had better soundtracks. These are good though
MCII got the best soundtracks in the whole midnight club series

take me on a rocket ride 🚀
Playing This Game Years Ago Once I Heard “Take Me On A Rocket Ride” And The Beat Dropped Maaaannnnn Shit Was On Repeat Won Every Race😂🔥💯
QUE BUILD UP MARAVILHOSO!
Another banger Soulwax remix from a simpler era!
OOOOOH BOOOY
Nostalgia,this game was my childhood🙏🏾👌
Melhor Need For Speed que já joguei sem dúvida q é o Underground 2 mas claro a trilha sonora é o melhor de tudo
God Damn I miss the old cruising days;)

Peugeot 206 from 0 to top:)
Yup! I thought I was the only one :ь
That car was a fucking beast, great handling and quite fast once fully upgraded.
All hail the ferocious little lion!!

Now I can appreciate the bass as it should be.
Soulwax is a legend
Damn, even in 2023, the chorus from this game managed to play even in my head.
It looks like I'll have to download this wonderful game again)
Still STILL after all this time i have to crank this song up every time i hear it. #blow your speakers out
Lancer Evolution 👍
skyline r34
Damn why are all car girls so horny on Evos i don't get it?
Lexus IS300 😍
The Transporter probably cuz it’s an Lan Evo
Song making me feel all nostalgic and shit ❤️
You're not alone!
Me: Casually riding my bike
Song: ROCKET RIDE
Me: Twists the throttle and evades police
You: can't successfully evade police.
You: in jail.
Song: Sly Boogy-thatz my name
You: still in jail.
We love this music because of the memories associated with it. Those endless hours ripping around town.
I Remember this while i drove through those highways dodging traffic, and at the streets of Bayview..... good times
That's enough, i'll buy another PS2 just to play this game again. (2018)
I really miss it :((
This is what I did, Google FreeMCboot and play it from a USB on a softmodded PS2
Everytime i buy a new engine..
*I let out a tear*
This and mc3de were the very best racing games ever. Period!
"Hey it's Rachel, Samantha's friend. I heard your plane finally got in, well welcome to Bayview."
so I wasn't going crazy, the version in underground 2 is shorter than the Spotify version
I remember quite clearly, I was speeding on the highway with this song when I crashed into a white van. I was puzzled that I couldn't see the wreck but then, suddenly about 100 meters further ahead it suddenly came crushing down somewhere infront of me. Rocket ride eh?
When "my" honda civic is going above 300 km/h

I was 4 when this game came out I remember the days of tuning my sweet red and white skyline
*Nostalgic ASF*
So many good music in this game.
I used to run this game with a Peugeot 106 daily. Thank god I found a copy online. :DD
Those feelings, my thoughts about 2008 when I was 7yo, night lights, these compositions...no words, fantastic time.
Same, I love my big bro for having a ps2 and letting me play this, midnight club 2 and gran turismo 4, because of him, my love for cars exists
@@friendzoning That's great 👍
🔥🖼️ this game was a masterpiece
I love when music sound good and alarming at the same time
Open the car windows to let them know you're coming
What a great feeling
back then when life was easy :)
Best NFS of all times!!
this is so underrated
I miss that awesome game with AWESOME soundtrack
1:12 Nostalgia
Omg the memories 😭😭😭
Eclipse bitchesss
Hell yeah!!!
Playing U2 again in 2017. New Fav theme.
First song that came on the game radio for me. Sweet, sweet memories :).
I'm sorry officer, but the speed limit does not apply when Rocket Ride is playing
Take me on a rocket ride.
Me: *activates nitro*
*"Take me on a rocket ride"*
*slams into a fucking wall while doing mach 5*
beauty
The best song ever out of all the song.
We still alive🤙🏻❤️
TAKE ME ON A ROCKET RIDE
Bruh this soundtrack and game was killer
This song puts tears of joy in my eyes.
Man, this is some Hotline Miami shit.
Damn, crazy how this video has significantly more views than the one uploaded by the artist himself.
Then again, I'm also here.
Soulwax Fire like always
The year is 2023 and I still listen to this while imagining jumping in Jackson Heights!
Lots of memories.
