Refreshing to begin with, Lingers during the middle, Disappointing in the end.

Before you play this game, you have to remember that this is not your "Need for Speed" game. In the beginning of the game you get to choose from a few "Group 8" cars which are of the bottom of the unlockable cars in career mode. Very soon you will be able to unlock most of the cars. The graphics is very overwhelming though Juiced fails to carry out a storyline like the recent titles in the NFS series, which even though the cars offered and gameplay is new and freshing at first it does get boring and dull very quickly. Half way through the career mode you may feel that the game is never going to end. Since the player is doing the same four kind of races over and over against the same people with similar envrionments over and over, there may be a rush of boredom and you may start to ask yourself, "What's the ultimate purpose of this game again?"

On the other hand, the collection of cars is very different from the NFS titles. There includes a collection of American Muscles and Tuner cars which the player can choose from depending on the mod-ability and horsepower. It may be a little too realistic when the game won't allow you to bring your tuner cars to higher classes (Civic, Eclipse, and even Skyline to name a few). *******
All and all, this game is only worth buying if it's in the bargin bins of your local game store. Sure you may play this game at the beginning to kill time but in the end you will VERY likely to realize that this game is really a waste of time and it lingers and goes no where due to a lack of storyline.
