Hi Guys...

My first post in the games section, and I hope it is a worthwhile one.

I purchased Juice tonight... $99.95 at EB. Got home inserted the disc and got in to my usual PS2 chair. The introduction looked promising, decent looking cars with nice sounding engines/turbos etc racing around and so I began to get excited.

Unfortunately, when comparing the graphics, handling, racing, action, even the audiosoundtrack to that of NFSU2, well there is just no comparison. The cars felt more like bricks on wheels (or some kind of boat) than flexible, suspended chasis. Without having driven any kind of RWD car yet I can not comment on the characteristics of them, however the FWD cars were a joke.

I give this game maybe a 4.5/10 and as such I plan to take advantage of EB's 7 day return policy and get my money back as I just can not justify wasting $100 on a game I will not enjoy.

Bottom line: If you like NFSU2, don't buy this game. If you prefer Jet Boat Racing, this game is right up your alley.

Cheers.

yeh this game realy isnt worth it! It did look promissing last year when it first came out. but youd think having it taken back off the shelves to go back into development for another 7-8 months would have realy made it an awesome game... but obviously not.

i have it... luckily i didnt buy it... yay for the HDD.

i dont mind it... graphically its ok... gameplay is ordinary... the actual concept is better put together than NFSU2... most annoying thing is how hard to judge where the corner starts as there can be too much colour on the screen and makes it hard to tell.

the different modes are quite cool as are the cars available...

all up probably a 6/10 from me.

worth getting if ur not paying for it :rofl: helps u appreciate it a little more...

i cant remember which company it was first released by but, they went broke designing this game, just as they released it. so who ever owns the rights to it now took the game tried to re-make it better, but obviously unsucessful, as you guys have said. i havent yet played it but i take your word for it. i wouldnt spend $100 on it, especially when i get bored after a while with nfsu1+2.

actually having been sick for 8 days this kept me entertained... i think its once u get past the first half an hour and start building up some relatively sweet rides... ive got about 20 now... skylines... chevys... GTOs... racing for pinks and stuff... i like it better than Underground 2 which had no damage and other less realistic things.

still wouldnt pay for it.

I played it at EB, such a shit game. No wonder they went broke with the first time they tried making it, such a dissapointment, another NFSUG copy, not like that game is great as it is. Not worth buying if you ask me, handling is not realistic either. (they state it on the commersial!)

      New fix for low tyre pressure from bmw

      I believe Unimog is the only vehicle that has it (from the manufacturer). I haven't seen aftermarket permanently connected kits, but I haven't looked either.

      Ha ha ha, can't overthink when exhausted... Oh how I wish I had that power! I can be absolutely dead set shot, and my brain will still go "we need a good 3 or 4 hours to just think about everything and anything before you may sleep... My biggest thing is making sure I give myself enough sleep. I don't operate on even 7 hours of sleep! I attempt to give my body 9.5hours sleep a night to be able to function. I don't sleep the whole 9.5, but I need to make sure I offer a big window. I also take a single supplement, which is to help with long term health, and fighting inflammation, and I notice it helps massively. Especially me sleeping, and just less "achey" in the body. Have also kicked sugar, and gluten. A majority of people with ADHD don't go well with gluten. It causes a really interesting natural opioid overdose in the brain, which causes bodily issues and sensory issues.

      Yep. But typically that's just run a hose down to the tyre while stationary.   Oh and the Unimog will automatically air up and air down tyres from the onboard computer for you too.

      There was a good video somewhere, maybe Kurzgesagt that linked physical activity to ADHD/Anxiety/Insomnia etc. Basically the body WILL spend energy doing something if you don't spend it doing anything physical. It isn't fun, but I personally have noticed I've never been overthinky, or unable to sleep if I'm physically exhausted from doing a lot. The musings around it seem to indicate that this is one of the reasons/mechanism that physical activity improves mental health/wellbeing etc, by more or less not using that 'extra' energy to overthink, be anxious, inflammation, etc. There's also the fact that every obnoxious exerciser ever says it's great and helps which is extremely annoying. Like people who say the same thing about travel being the best thing ever. I mean, they clearly are, but blah. I started doing a LITTLE myself (think 3x15min per week) and honestly did notice the benefits, aiming at life quality when older. Which is sooner than you think. Getting something into your routine that you can actually make a routine has helped me at least. This post brought to you by procrastination between sets.
