Don't count this one out!

User Rating: 9 | Juiced 2: Hot Import Nights X360
Juiced sucked. Plain and simple. The customization may have been a bit better then Underground at that time but everything else brought it down. However no one said that the game didn't have potential. Juiced 2 is where that potential comes out. Like a bench player who finally gets to start, Juiced 2 is geared up and proves that it is an excellent arcade racer, and lets be serious, who doesn't wanna just have some fun here and there. Car customization is great. It's deep and very engaging and with every piece fitting like a puzzle. What's even better is, unlike NFS 2 with all the random car accessories, Juiced accessories actually mean something when taking it online. Everything from lights to body kits to different kinds of rims with different tires are available. Nothing looks totally fake as the car models are pretty damn good looking. Plus unlike the downside of NFS games, all the body kits styles are nice looking from the first to the last. Besides car customization, you also get to customize your driver as well which is absent in most racing games. It's not amazingly deep but its better then that of Test Drive Unlimited. You're basically allowed to customized facial features, and clothes both of these options adding to the fun. The career mode is long and engaging. Races are pretty fun. For some races you can bet before the match to get extra cash. Beware though the driver that you bet with will go all out to win the race, especially if there is a particularly high amount of cash being placed on the table between you two. Online is where the mode will shine. The ability to buy and sell cars like Forza is cool but the ability to race for them is even cooler. It can definitely be said that everyone is going to bring there A game in order to win cars and keep their own. In all this game is surprisingly fun and a good time at the right time. If you're a NFS junkie that's all good and well, but if you just enjoy street racing like I do, pick this one up or rent it. This one doesn't deserve to be overlooked. Graphics: 8
