not sure if you wonna buy this game or not?? i think i might help you..
anyway...now I understand a little bit more about racing games...so my review is very diffrent from my old review...here is my review:
the good: 50+ cars, costumazation is cool, gambling is cool, pinkslips are awesome, having a crew is nice, endless career mode always lets you come back and play some more, graphics r good
the bad: rubber band AI gives the opponent the ability to pass you with great ease (even with a slow car...I remmember playing a pink slip race with my honda civic against my opponents Beetle...and My car was way better and faster (like 50 more horsepower..) and my opponent passed me when we were driving in a straight line side by side....that doesnt make sense!! I was supposed to be faster then him...even when I used nos it didnt help...suddenly hes car was as fast as a dodge viper or some thing...crazy!
rubber band AI is terrible in this game!!!, show off races are not fun at all!!
I agree with gamespot that said that its hard to have a successful career...It toke me 3 careers intill I got the good career I have now..( 1000+ respect with all drivers, my crew is skilled, I have 56 cars in my garage and a little bit more then 2 million dollars...but it took me a lot of time...and frustration by the rubber band ai...anyway I dont really recommend this game now...after having my fair share of racing game id say there sre much better racing games out there better then juiced and juiced 2..I'm not saying its a bad game...Im just saying you can do better..do your self a favor...buy midnight club 3 or burnout dominator instead...or you can buy a great need for speed game..(I recommend most wanted) just make sure you dont buy need for speed pro street its worse..anyway..I do recommend this game..But i'd rather recommend you something like nfs most wanted...
If you really want this game..I'd say: RENT IT FIRST
