Story:Juiced is a racing video game for Microsoft Windows, PlayStation 2, Xbox, and mobile phone. The game was delayed for release in 2004 because its original publisher, Acclaim, went bankrupt. Juice Games and Fund 4 Games retained ownership of the property and sold the game to THQ, who funded the project for a further six months of improvements. In early 2006, British software publisher Focus Multimedia re-released the PC version of Juiced at a new budget price as part of its "Essential" games series. The game offers different modes including career and arcade that present the player with challenges of increasing difficulty. The player can customize the car to suit their style and unlock new ones in arcade mode. The game features nitrous boosts, similar to that of other racing games. Juiced went to number one in the United Kingdom MCV sales charts and its first version sold 2.5 million units.Show more

Highly underrated game, a worthy rival to Need for Speed Underground. No other arcade racing game had this many mechanics: a proper damage model, crew races, a stunt mini-game, betting (with the opponents getting stronger if you bet against them), an event calendar, used car dealerships, a selection screen for frickin' flip phones for calling rival crew members... Not every mechanic is great, but it all adds up to a very immersive experience.
In particular I remember the stunt mini-game being my first introduction to the differences between front-wheel drive, rear-wheel drive, and all-wheel drive handling. Each type of car has a very unique feel to it, much more so than in other racing games at the time.
The physics engine for the cars damage and graphics was top notch for the time, I've great memories of this game and would love to re-enjoy it, Specially nowadays being able to play it with ultra graphics and with a renewed point of view.
