As mentioned in other reviews:
1. The difference in your cars' control between Circuit and Drift events varies WAY too much
2. Even though there are so many visual mods available, There are some issues with graphics while in the "in car" view.
3. You get it..
Even with these mistakes, and others I haven't mentioned for their lack of importance, Juiced 2 offers great gameplay and a lot of entertainment.
In the first Juiced title it was quite difficult to gain a reasonable amount of money, yet in Juiced 2 you can easily get 300k by placing a spectator bet and utilizing the Boo/Cheer features wisely, thus you can get several million dollars in a very short time. In an hours time I got a total of $2,930,000 on a new account. With that I purchased several vehicles and I was only on League 6 at the time (Rookie->League 7->League6->etc.) In short: Money is no issue if you get the hang of spectator betting.
The tracks are fairly easy to understand, making it easy to improve your driving skills and win races more easily. But improving your car's performance is always important. One thing that should have been better implemented though is the weight reduction having a more noticeable effect on your car's acceleration.
The upgrade system has had a total makeover and now you have challenges to complete in order to upgrade your car more, for example the Perfect Lap Challenge where you have to complete a lap without touching the barricade/wall at all, and within a certain time! Or the Beat Car challenges, where you have to beat a car that is maxed out with a perfect driver, with nothing but your skill and a short 5-8 second head start! These challenges make it a more interesting experience to say the least!
The last thing to note: the Goal System. You have to complete a certain number of goals before you can advance to the next league.
A great game! 8/10!
