    Good game with lots of features. Nice and easy car modding. Nice to be able to bet against other racers so you can win and still lose. Cars responsiveness is not as good as GT4 but will do.

    I play CS nearly 4 years and still enjoy it. There is no other game like this!

    This happens to be my favourite game of all time, same with all my friends that played split-screen with me.

    Containing difficult and unforgiving driving, this game may have been more like a racing sim than any games like Forza/Gran Turismo, in modern day. THQ is dead, so the only hope for people that played this game (and had enough common sense to find it legendary), is that some

    THQ is dead, so the only hope for people that played this game (and had enough common sense to find it legendary), is that some company makes a HD remake of this game.

    Not the second one. That was disgraceful.

    Very solid racer that still holds up today, awesome music, tight controls, memerable opponents and an interesting campaign overall. For me this is a solid 10!

    This game is sick! Tune cars, upgrade them and race for pink slips. The music is dope too and fits the racing perfectly. This is a gem of a game, go and try it you won't be dissapointed.

    Really 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

    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.

    Juiced can be highly irritating at some times and completely unfair at others. Why, for instance, do you have to help pay to repair other racers' cars yet no one helps you get your car back into racing shape?

    Loads of fun to play. Hopefully, THQ has already commissioned "Juiced 2." [June 2005, p.76]

    An impressively comprehensive, reasonably captivating though ultimately flawed experience. [June 2005, p.95]
