'''Juiced''' is a video game for the [[PlayStation 2]], [[Xbox]], [[Windows]] and mobile phone. The game was delayed for release in [[2004]] because of its original publisher [[Acclaim]] going bankrupt. The game was then picked up by [[THQ]], the game was then further delayed as changes were made to the game.
In early 2006, UK software publisher [[Focus Multimedia]] re-released the PC version of ''Juiced'' at a new budget price point as part of its Essential games range.


'''''Juiced''''' is a [[video game]] for the [[PlayStation 2]] and [[Xbox]]. It is also available as a [[computer game]] on the [[Personal computer|PC]] and a mobile game. The game was delayed for release way back in [[2004]] because of [[Acclaim Entertainment|Acclaim]] going bankrupt. The place was later taken by [[THQ]] and even further delays were created because of changes being made to the game.
The game offers many different modes including a career mode and arcade mode that present the player with challenges which gradually gets harder. A player can customize the car to suit their style and unlock new ones (by unlocking in arcade mode). Whilst racing there is a selection of background music from a variety of artists including ''Shapeshifters''. A special feature added was the use of nitrous as expected since it is similar to other racing games which have the feature. This can be particularly useful for when the player is behind an opponent or is behind time, but the AI can also use the nitrous oxide.


Now that it has been released, the game offers many different modes including a career mode and arcade mode that give you the best challenges. A player can customise the car to suit their style and unlock new ones (by unlocking in arcade mode). Whilst racing there is a selection of background music from a variety of artists including [[Shapeshifters]]. A special feature added was the use of [[nitrous]] which boost the car's speed. This can be particularly useful for when the player is behind an opponent or is behind time.
The game system itself highly inspired by the [[:Category:Need for Speed|Need for Speed Underground series]] itself inspired by the [[:Category:Shutokou Battle|Shutokou Battle series]], but the racing style is realistic, similar to the [[:Category:Gran Turismo|Gran Turismo series]]. Damages are also distinctively visible on Juiced, and must be repaired before the player can tune up the car.


Juiced isn't better than the [[Need for Speed: Underground]] series or [[Midnight Club]] series (according to [[BBC News]]; see [[#External links|External links]]) because it lacks the features that those games contain. Pointed out in the BBC News article is the tracks being too repetitive and the fact that it is not possible to skip races which the player isn't entered in.
The story starts in Angel City where you start your racing career. T.K. (leader of the Urban Maulerz) makes his introduction and offers the player to race him. The challenger gives the player a Mitsubishi Eclipse GSX (from his crew garage)and you race T.K's Mazda RX-8. However, before the race starts, you place a bet with T.K. When the bet is set you race. After the race (win or lose) race winnings and the bet pool goes to the winner, T.K. makes the player a Juiced racer and gives the player a choice of any three tuner cars to offer so he can keep his own car. T.K gives the player a garage and his own mechanic(so he can customize a car). After that, T.K. gives you his phone number and tells the player about entering events and upgrades, then leaves you. The player learns about the Juiced races(being a little weird than other street races). The player races through a series of races, with other crews in Angel City, unlocking rewards, meeting new crews and earning their respect.


As of [[September 8]], the game is planned for release on the [[PlayStation Portable]] handheld game console [http://www.gamespot.com/news/2005/09/08/news_6132753.html]. It will be titled as ''Juiced: Eliminator''. The reason for the new name is because the player can "eliminated" if he or she is driving slower than the other drivers. It will feature two new races, eight new characters and nine new tracks. It is expected to be released Q2, [[2006]].
