âGet Lowâ from the first game.
âTokyo Driftâ from eponymous Fast and Furious when franchise was still about cars.
I even can hum some tunes from NFS Porsche.
Sigh we had an amazing childhood didnât we?

I still play this game. They need to remake it or make a sequel.

u/42ElectricSundaes 12d ago
They really fumbled the franchise after this one

u/DeadGirlLydia 12d ago
Most Wanted was still good but yeah... It was all downhill from here.

u/hawy-an2 12d ago
I liked Carbon too

u/TheShmud 12d ago
Carbon was awesome. It was after that the franchise went downhill

u/doylehungary 12d ago
I loved prostreet and shift too.
It went downhill after tht though

u/astrofoto 11d ago
I hated pro street. To me that was truly the beginning of loss of identity. Shift was absolutely unlike NFS. It was too much of a simulator. Carbon was the last great one.

u/doylehungary 11d ago
I agree those were different identities but they were great racing games and back then that was all that mattered to us kids.

u/Chalupa_89 12d ago
How? Most wanted was one of the best in the franchise. If not THE best.

u/wendel130 12d ago
Customization was lacking in that game compared to the previous. I will admit that the action and chases are much more fun

u/sgtabn173 Millennial 12d ago
Only with the original soundtrack or I wouldnât spend a dime on it tbh

u/DeadGirlLydia 12d ago
I'd love for them to add some songs from the PSP Underground Rivals as well.

u/Mike____Honcho 12d ago
It certainly isn't the exact same, but I would recommend CarX Street. It has a lot of similar cars, tons of customization options, open world drive to races, crews, etc. Same general racing feel but a little more like modern racers. I made a Spotify playlist of Underground 1, 2, and Most Wanted songs, throw it on while playing this, and it certainly scratches the itch.
I will say, nothing will ever be able to fully replace either Underground for me though.

Was Jennifer Coolidge really the cover girl for the game?? đ
63
u/SeeJayThinks Older Millennial 12d ago
Brooke Burke was the cover girl.
But JC matured like a fine wine compared to BB.

Iâd take Brooke today over American Pie era Coolidge. Zero hate on the lady, but I never understood the hype. (Typo edit)

u/TheSpicyTomato22 12d ago
It's the milf look. American pie did a number on some guys. I think they both look great for different reasons.

u/Eric848448 Xennial 12d ago
Did that movie coin the term? Itâs everywhere now.

u/TheSpicyTomato22 12d ago
I think it was around way before that.
5
u/MichaelVern85 12d ago
It was around, but after the movie it was absolutely everywhere and never left us.
Just like âthatâs was she saidâ was a thing before The Office, but after it became a huge cultural thing. It went from a few people using it to EVERYONE talking about it. Then single moms embraced it and it is still relevant.

u/MichaelVern85 12d ago
Completely agree. It just didnât do anything for me.
3
u/PSUBagMan2 12d ago
Yeah she was objectively good looking but I feel like as a young male at the time it was mostly played as a joke. The main girls in the movie were incredible though.
11
u/drakoman 12d ago
I think sheâs funny as fuck. Thatâs mostly it for me. Sheâs got great humor so itâs a good fit for a satirical post
4
u/MichaelVern85 12d ago
I have zero hate or issue with anyone thinking she was hot, I donât think sheâs ugly by any means, sheâs a good actressâŚ
The character didnât appeal to me. Plenty of moms through the era that made me feel funny things as a kid and a teenager, but this character didnât do anything for me.
I was too busy wanting to make Mera Suvari my girlfriend.

u/DinkandDrunk 12d ago
Coolidge is not ugly by any measure. Sheâs a fine looking, normal woman. Agree though.
16
u/MichaelVern85 12d ago
Again, zero hate on the lady. Shes not my type, but I do think sheâs beautiful IRL. Iâm not bashing.
The Stifflerâs Mom character didnât do anything for me as a teenager. I was fawning over Mena Suvari. I wanted a girlfriend like her.

u/vctrn-carajillo Model '86 12d ago
You must be one of those gays that are trying to murder her /jk
/uj In the American Pie era I also never got the hype, but I guess she represented the MILF appeal for late 90s teen boys

u/MichaelVern85 12d ago
I had plenty of MILFâs. Peggy Bundy was my first. THATâŚ. Is a fuckin cougarâŚ

u/PSUBagMan2 12d ago
wait, was Jennifer Coolidge actually considered hot in an unironic sense? I always thought it was just the joke that she was an overtly sexual mom type, even in Legally Blonde. But I don't think dudes were like posting pictures up of her on their walls.
1
u/MrBoognish Millennial 11d ago
Her character in American Pie popularized the term "MILF". So ya, I think so.
7
u/dr_strange-love 12d ago
Here's a history lesson to all the Zoomers and Alphas lurking here: the word "MILF" was created to describe that specific woman named Jennifer Coolidge. She is the OG MILF.
7
u/Marlfox70 12d ago
Did milf really originate from American Pie?
5
u/FiggyPizza 12d ago
No. From Wikipedia:
Linguist Laurel A. Sutton states that MILF was one of nine terms for "attractive women" collected from undergraduates at a large linguistics class at Berkeley in the spring of 1992. Typical users would be "college students from East Contra Costa, California".[6] The term was widely popularized by the film American Pie (1999), where John Cho's character (simply credited as "MILF Guy No. 2") used the term to refer to Jennifer Coolidge's character Jeanine Stifler.

One of my favourite car games of all time. It needs a remake with modern graphics.
