Template:Infobox CVG Juiced is a video game for the PlayStation 2 and Xbox. It is also available as a computer game on the PC and a mobile game. The game was delayed for release in 2004 because of Acclaim going bankrupt. The place was later taken by THQ and even further delays were created because of changes being made to the game.

Now that it has been released, the game offers many different modes including a career mode and arcade mode that give you challenges which gradually get harder. 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 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.

According to BBC News, Juiced isn't better than the Need for Speed: Underground series or Midnight Club series (see External links) because it lacks the features that those games contain. Pointed out in the 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.

PlayStation Portable

As of September 8, the game is planned for release on the PlayStation Portable handheld game console [1]. It will be titled as Juiced: Eliminator. The reason for the new name is because the player can be "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.
