    Pretty standard fare as far as the automotive genre is concerned. It certainly gives the experience of a driver on a Hot Import Nights circuit, and that's a good thing. However it fails to bring anything really new or revolutionary to the table, and that's where this title comes up short.

    The total lack of online play and lackluster driving mechanics sink this derivative street racer into mediocrity.

    The layout of the Career mode is nice, and there's lots to do. However, some aspects of the car customization are poor, and the track design is fairly generic.

Against the The racing and drifting experience is great however on the PS2 version it (in my opinion) appears that the game was "rushed". Against the other console 360/PS3 Juiced 2 lacks several features the big one is that there is NO online multiplayer on the PS2 along with less car mods and poor modding efforts ie: little user interaction you simply buy "mod packs". However multiplayer is great and the races are fun and the large selection for cars keep the game alive.… Full Review »

The handling is easy toWhere this games shines best, is the car handling, which I prefer even over the games of the Need for Speed series. The handling is easy to learn, the drifting works fine and is easibly controllable and all has a touch of simulation, even though it is a straight arcade style game. But compared to other arcade style racing games, like Outrun 2006 or the Ridge Racer series, drifting is much less extreme. And compared to NFS Underground 1/2 or Hot Pursuit it feels more responsive and more real-world. At the courves bear three challenges: don't enter too fast, at the right moment and handle the grip or drift. This makes driving to be quite fun. The races are done in a lot of different modes and also the drift mode is a lot of fun. I appreciate a lot that the races don't start too difficult - compared to NFS for example. Even though for me the whole setting - half-naked models, tough guy racers and the tuning - is just trash and doesn't appeal at all, the game is surprisingly much fun. A pity that the tracks scenary doesn't differ a lot and everything is allways at night, because I prefer daytime races in an beautiful landscape. But I like that the tuning is more sold as pack and you don't have to tune every single little item seperately. And I like the idea to have to unlock every singe tuning pack. This is one of these racing games, you spend a lot of time enjoying the game.… Full Review »
