Juiced 2: Hot Import Nights

[Kozeyekan]

Ok, Ok, before you all get angry, yes Juiced was a piece of crap.

I bought juiced 2 because I had too much spare time on my hands, and wanted a new game.

Yes, it's arcadey, the physics engine is based on dodgem cars and it makes NFS:Carbon look like a serious racing simulator, but I actually am enjoying this game.

The major reason is the fact that after playing for about an hour or so, I've already unlocked the R32 GTS-T, the R33 GTS25-t and the R34 GTR!

C'mon, any game that has these cars can't be all bad!

At the very least it lest me buy them all and look at the garage list wistfully wishing I had them all lined up in my real life garage.

The game itself is OK. It's basically car porn though. No storyline, no seriousness, just cars and quick racing shots.

I've been tempted to pick this up myself, but after becoming so used to the likes of GTR2 with a wheel, the ricey arcade games don't quite have the same appeal to me.

Good to hear you're still having some fun with it. Has a pc demo been released? If that showed promise then I might go pick up a copy.

I downloaded the demo on Xbox Live, worst 1gb of download I've ever used. Car line up is the only thing I actually LIKE about the game unfortunately

juiced 1 on ps2 was pretty boring, especially the drifting section. the r34 gtr wasn't that great at handling.

the fact that you had to risk betting lots of money to get anywhere in the game was stupid, seeing as if you lost the race, you were back to square 1. and your co-drivers got really annoying by the end of it.

i much preferred NFS most wanted because you get to drive your cars around on the street between races, and run away from cops. And 'burnout takedown' was also another entertaining arcade game.

saw the ad for juiced 2 at EB, the graphics look heaps better, but i guess you'd have to get a decent plasma/LCD tv to make the most of it.

what changes did they make in juiced 2??

I got this game on monday. Halfway through it crashed and kept disconnecting me from xbox live. It doesnt even load anymore. I looked on the net and found its a common problem. Not many people are able to finish the game because of this problem.

Bah any driving game that MAKES me use the analog stick, I wont be buying.... *grumbles*

[R33_Beast]

Anybody got an opinion on the pc version? Particularly if they've got a wheel hooked up...

[NRV155]

Id say wait for the new need 4 speed.

Played this on 360 earlier in the week,was pretty dissapointing to start with.Circuit driving feels like th car is on rails,very arcade like.

But the drifting is probably the best ive played in any game,so this kept me interested.

Then i unlocked the 32 and 33 gtst which kept me in the game for a bit longer.

Also bought a S15 and modded it up.Best drift machine.From then on i was just drifting,picking drift tracks and doing some free runs.

I beat Beau Yates in his 86 which was cool though.

[NRV155]

Let me know if it crashes on you half way through your career.
