Which Need for Speed game includes the song 'Riders on the Storm'?

The story behind the answer

Need for Speed: Underground 2 includes “Riders on the Storm.”

The game uses a special remix of The Doors’ classic song, with Snoop Dogg featured and Fredwreck handling the remix and production. It appears as the title music associated with Underground 2, released in 2004, and became one of the game’s most recognizable audio signatures. The track combines the psychedelic rock identity of The Doors with a hip-hop presentation designed for the game’s urban street-racing atmosphere.

The original “Riders on the Storm” was recorded by The Doors and released in 1971. Jim Morrison’s vocals and the band’s atmospheric keyboards remain central to the remix, while Snoop Dogg adds new rap vocals. Players sometimes remember the song simply as a Doors track or as a Snoop Dogg song, but the version connected to Underground 2 is specifically the Fredwreck remix. The game’s broader soundtrack also includes artists such as Queens of the Stone Age, Rise Against, Xzibit, and Terror Squad.
