A pretty good street racing game.
-
Graphically, Juiced is very slick without getting too superfluous.
-
TotalGames.netThe Juiced of 2005 is virtually unrecognisable from the Juiced of 2004, and quite frankly it puts "Need For Speed Underground" to shame.
-
Aside from a few very nitpicky items, Juiced performs like a well-oiled machine and brings something a bit different to this popular genre. If you're looking for a tuner-style title with a bit of a twist, look no further.
-
Official Xbox MagazineThe heart of Juiced is the pedal-to-the-medal street racing. And that's where it shines like a freshly buffed coat of pearlescnet paint. [June 2005, p.83]
-
As far as racers go, Juiced presents the best culture integration of any game this year, something woefully lacking in the genre.
-
Juiced has come a long way since the fall of Acclaim. It's still a huge undertaking, full of masses of depth, but it now plays and looks a damn sight better too. [Official UK Xbox Magazine]
-
It's no "NFS Underground 2" or "Midnight Club 3" but it is a worthwhile addition to any racing game fan's library with its unique features, strong career mode and easy pick up and play engine.
-
The gameplay is varied enough to maintain interest, and its clutch of quirky distractions adds to the experience.
-
A serious game for serious racers with an ancillary interest in accounting and business management. Racing is just a small part of this game that happens when you aren't worrying about building up an empire of cars, earning more money or the respect of your peers.
-
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.
-
If only Juiced had come out last year rather than now, it would have been much better received and wouldn't have to compare to NFSU2, Forza and Burnout 3 to name a few.
-
Game InformerJuiced certainly has the makings of an average street racer, with lots of customizables and affected street appeal. [July 2005, p.116]
-
We have to thank THQ from pulling this franchise from the doomed Acclaim brand because Juiced is a good, fun racing game that has some canny ideas.
