  1. Juiced is instantly approachable but has depth.
  2. Graphically, Juiced is very slick without getting too superfluous.

    Loads of fun to play. Hopefully, THQ has already commissioned "Juiced 2." [June 2005, p.76]
  4. The gameplay is varied enough to maintain interest, and its clutch of quirky distractions adds to the experience.
  5. The driving itself is seriously good fun and that really is the most important thing. This is a great game made even greater by its protracted stay in the developer's waiting room.
  6. Nevermind the naysayers, this is a solid racing game with enough style and fun to balance out the repetitive bits.
  7. In the end, Juiced may go down as a great rental, and a solid racing game. But otherwise it falls into the background as just another underground racing game.
  8. Game Informer

    Juiced certainly has the makings of an average street racer, with lots of customizables and affected street appeal. [July 2005, p.116]
  9. With some races you can win in a snap but others are down to the wire and sometimes are way too hard. Juiced is definitely for those who love to put the pedal to the metal and lay waste to some asphalt.

It's not fun at all! When you tune the car the difficulty is raised in a ridiculous way. Full Review »

    Really underrated game, very hard, thrilling and unforgiving. The handling it's a bit weird and need practice to make the best of it. TheReally underrated game, very hard, thrilling and unforgiving. The handling it's a bit weird and need practice to make the best of it. The customizations are not that great, except for the paint which is incredible. The AI even on medium difficulty can be very hard, and there is no restart button.
    There is autosave before betting money and betting car so if you turn off the game, money or car will be lost anyway.

    It's super good, but not perfect anyway.
