Juiced 2: Hot Import Nights for Xbox 360 Reviews by Gamers

Save time and don't even read the rest of my review - this game blows. Every other street racing game on the 360 is better than Juiced 2, so I'd only suggest this to achievement junkies or weird people that like racers but don't like any of the other options available.

Oddly, this game actually has two separate control sets depending on whether you're a racer or a drifter - and both of them feel wrong. It's hard to drive in a straight line. The racing style makes you turn sharply with even the tiniest nudge of the analog stick, while the drift style makes you feel like you're hydroplaning the whole time. You kind of get used to it after a while, and the game is actually playable, but it's not intuitive and EXTREMELY lacking in the fun department while you're just trying to steer a stupid car.

There's an upgrade system in Juiced that is also lacking compared to other racers. You need to complete certain tasks to unlock the higher level upgrades, and it's never much more expensive than the first level upgrade. So that begs the question - why would you ever buy anything other than the best upgrade? On top of that, if you uninstall an upgrade in order to qualify for a certain race, you actually have to RE-PURCHASE the upgrade again - you can't just reinstall it. This is something that is just beyond retårded.

Again, the bottom line is that any other street racing game available on the 360 is a better choice than Juiced 2. I don't really know how else to say it or how many times I need to say the same thing, but it's the truth. I'm not going to say that I had absolutely no fun at all because I did at times, but it was too few and far between. Need For Speed Most Wanted was a launch title for the 360 (it came out 2 years ago) and is a far superior game. That should give you some idea as to the quality of this title.

I think it is the most horrible game ever because when you try to access the career mode the copy that I got kept taking me back to the tittle screen, even when I tried accessing the xbox live career mode I had the same result. I can not believe that they would release a game for the xbox360 that has this many glitches. The developers need to go back and do their homework. I strongly recommend that any one that has any intentions to get this game as a rental or to own this is a definite pass negative 5 stars by my book, and thats using X-Play's system rating.
