Juiced left me with wanting more
This game could have been a good game 18 months ago, but now its flat. With the release of great games like Midnight Club 3, Forza Motorsport, Gran Tourismo 4, and Need For Speed Underground 2, this game doesnt hold water. The biggest problem is paying for the races. Some are free but as you progress the free races get harder to find. And if you have to pay for the race funds start to get low because you also have to pay for damages. I have no problem needing to repair your car and having to pay for it, but this game has more focus on budgeting money instead of developing a car and racing it. You put a team together and can get drivers to drive for you. Personally I want to drive much less have someone drive for me. I have no problem getting a "posse" together, but I WANNA DRIVE. The graphics are decent but not quite as good as Midnight Club 3 or Forza. There are just to many other racing games out there that offer just that little bit more to make a good game. Pass this game up for one of the other I have mentioned.
Weak
I was contemplating 2 stars, but the anger over spending money on renting overcame that generosity. Essentially, this game is like the burro of racing games. It's GT4 and NFSU mixed together with poor graphics and mundane style. By the way, it's BORING!!! The tracks are short, the handling falls under decent, except for the handbrake which when lightly tapped spins the car out in a 360 (umm, physics?) and the poor attempt at simulating the street racing culture is, well, cheesy and pointless considering it's not a street racing type of game. That is, they're tracks, all tracks, with barriers galore. Renting it is probably the best way to go on this one, if at all.
mediocre at least!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
