NFSU2 soundtrack and where each song plays
The menu opens on Riders on the Storm. Racing pulls from a separate set of 21 tracks. This page does not host audio.
How the two playlists split
On 3 Nov 2026 the NFS Fandom soundtrack page was the only full list I could read. It counts 27 tracks: 6 for menus and 21 for racing. Wikipedia and PCGamingWiki confirm the game and the title theme, but they do not reprint every artist.
I am keeping the full list labelled as one source. I will not treat a missing second list as a reason to invent lengths.
Menu tracks
The menu set named on that wiki page is Riders on the Storm (Fredwreck remix), I Need Speed, I Do, That'z My Name, LAX and Lean Back. PCGamingWiki says the main menu hardcodes Riders on the Storm at every launch.
| Track | Role | Status |
|---|---|---|
| Riders on the Storm (Fredwreck remix) | Title and menu | 3 sources |
| I Need Speed | Menu | 1 source |
| I Do | Menu | 1 source |
| That'z My Name | Menu | 1 source |
| LAX | Menu | 1 source |

Racing artists
The racing half, again from that single wiki list, names Fluke, an unresolved Rush Hour credit, Felix da Housecat, Sin, FREELAND, Paul Van Dyk, Sonic Animation, Killing Joke, Rise Against, Killradio, The Bronx, Ministry, Queens of the Stone Age, Mudvayne, Septembre, Helmet, Cirrus, SpiderBait, Skindred, Snapcase and Unwritten Law.
The soundtrack was nominated for a D.I.C.E. Outstanding Achievement in Soundtrack award. That nomination is on the Wikipedia article. I am not hosting lyrics or audio files.
