Juiced 2 Hot Import Nights, The King Of Racing - 9/10
hey people, sorry i have been a bit delayed with my reviews, but here is a new one for ya 
well to start off,
Juiced, the original game was an unfinished product. the game was unfinished because the company went broke
during the process of making it, but then was picked back up by THQ. the game was then released on the PS2,
XBOX, PC. the game was basically a mixup between need for speed and gran turismo (sort of). the game made it
to platinum on the ps2, but recieved many put downs, as the game was not up to its full potential. users found
the most annoying part of juiced was when you finished a race and your car was damaged, you would have to pay
up to big amounts to fix it, which was ridiculos, but at the same time realistic, as if your car gets totaled
and you want to repair it, you have to pay to get it fixed, its not for free. the game carried the put downs
untill it went silent. juiced was basically a game where you can race for pinks pick a mobile phone to use in
career mode and more.
Along the way, Juiced had another comeback, on the PSP. it was called Juiced eliminator, which basically had improved
since the last juiced game. you did not have to pay for damages, but the game concept was still the same. after
juiced eliminator was made everything went silent again. this was not good for THQ as they were losing money.
after the next gen release of all the consoles, it was time for the game juiced to get a makeover, which it did.
Juiced 2 was launched, but not fully confirmed. later on it was for real, and the title" Juiced 2 Hot Import Nights".
This game was going to add the proper aspect of underground racing and drifting.
Juiced 2 hot import nights is a major revival from juiced 1 and eliminator. Juiced 2 seems more realistic and enjoyable,
while the previous ones werent really. Better than ever, with more features and cars than before, juiced 2 is the game to get.
Juiced 2 Hot Import Nights features world wide locations such as Australia, Rome, London, France, Tokyo, USA and others. if
you liked racing for pinks in juiced 1 then step up, as juiced 2 has pinkslip racing. There are a lot more features to keep you
occupied. Juiced 2 revolutionises drifting with prescision handling, and realistic turns. dont move the analouge stick too much,
you will spin out of control 
Juiced 2 features over 90 cars, featuring some cars that gamers dreamed of having in other games, but werent put in the game.
the customisation in the game is really fun, choose your paint type; from matte to flake, you will stand out of the crowd.
You can even customise your racer, boy or girl, what they wear and more. you will never see the same 2 characters as it is very
detailed. the game dosent just stop there. there is a lot of things to do before you can say you are the "drift king" or something.
proving your worthy is promising. the game has a unique online play aswell, making it more fun. Juiced 2 dosent go into la la land
like other games, which have ridiculos customisation, this is the real deal. the game has a lot of things for you to make your car
feel like you really do own it in real life. without taking it too far, the customisation is a very fun thing to do and if you like
car modding this game is for you. you dont feel like the game has been taken too far or it hasnt been done properly.
Drifting is another great feature to juiced 2. drifting has never been so good, as most games that had drifting will often make the car spin
off out of control. that isnt fun. juiced 2 has a drift meter (or something like that) that shows you how much the tires have moved, let it go to
the top and you will crash and spin out. mastering corners is the key.
it dosent take a pro to win a pinkslip race. you could be a rookie and win, you just need the right style of driving, thats where the driver DNA
comes in place. basically driver DNA shows you how you race and your DNA in things like nitrous, gambling, drifting and some others.
this will come in handy as if you want to show off to your mates, dont just show them the cars, show them your driver DNA. be proud
of it. its not just an ordinary racing game anymore. it takes you to the point where you think that you are actually involved with racing.
if you like to get your heart beating race for slips, if not dont risk it. its all or nothing. you have a 1 in 2 chance of winning. be confident.
Online, is something that hasnt really been shown before. online mode has 2 modes, career or custom racing. in career mode, you basically do everything
that you would do in offine career mode, but with real racers this time. dont think that when you start on rookie league you are going straight up to
league 7, you will need to master your opponents skills, beat them to it. by mastering powerslides and sharp corners, your opponents will be gone.
here is an in depth rating/score/review for juiced 2 hot import nights
_______________________________________________________________________________
The game
Juiced 2 is a racing, gambling game where it is all or nothing, just hope to make it to the finish line. coming last isnt an option. choose a car that
will suit your needs, dont choose a car for its looks. there are different types of car types in the game you can choose from:
Euro-
like elegance and speed? this is your class with cars like teh BMW M3, the volkswagen golf GTi and the SEAT leon cupra R you will have a great range
of cars to pick from.
Exotic-
the high performance cars, the ones that make holes in your wallet, the best selection and looks. featuring the Ascari KZ1 and the Pagani Zonda Roadster F
you wont probably find more cars that are expensiver than this. built with speed and presicion, this is a great selection, but if you have the money.
Ricer-
with the best looks, and brands, you wont go wrong. cars like the nissan R33 and the 200sx, racing and modding has never been better. put the pedal to the
metal with these cars, dont let them control you.
Old Muscle-
like older cars? well the old muscle type is for you. american muscle, most famous for its high performance. like dodge, pontiac or ford? then this range
is great.
Modern Muscle-
out with the old and in with the new. modern muscle is much faster than the old muscle type. if you like cars that are fast, and cars like the Dodge
Viper or the Ford Mustang then these types of cars are great.
The Sound
In juiced 2, you feel like you are there, with real car sounds to make your heart start pumping, you will always want to play this game with the volume
cranked up loud. the ingame music is great aswell, but it would have been nice to see some new music too, but that isnt a let down, as some of the tunes are
awsome. There is also commentary in the game, which gives you a little advantage, hearing about racers behind or infront of your position. Take it a step
further.
The Graphics
Juiced 2 graphics are really good, and the cars have a lot of effort put into them, they look like the real thing. with realistic designs and race tracks
the graphics have turned out to be great. Like the scenery?
The Gameplay
in the game there are 8 different leagues which get harder as you unlock the next league. here is a basic outline of the leauges
Rookie League

Leauge 7

League 4

World Class

HIN Elite
As you can imagin, the HIN (Hot Import Nights) league is the hardest, and the rookie league is the easiest. Dont think the game repeats itself, as every league
comes with new goals and challenges. more challenges will be unlocked after you finish League 7 or 6. Pinkslip races arent just circuts, they are drifts aswell.
The higher class you are in, the more cars you unlock. Its simple.
The Online Features
In Juiced 2 Hot Import Nights you can build up your car the same way as offline but you can race it in either a custom online race or the career mode, which is basically
the same as the offline career. it gets more challenging if the racers are good and your car isnt perfect. practising makes perfect . the online mode has all the race
modes as the offline mode, which is good in a way, if you do not want to play offline career mode.
The Customisation
Juiced 2 isnt just about racing, it is also about your ride. making it the fastest will not make it the best. looks kill so you will want to take this oppourtunity. There are
heaps of modifications that can be made to your car and introducing, custom liscence plates. in Juiced 2 you can customise your liscence plate, and choose the plate type/location.
you can pick New South Wales plates, California plates, and a few others. Dont forget about the car, you need it to look good otherwise there is nothing to be proud of. Like what
you see, and want to show it off to your friends? explode view is an option. this lets you "explode" your car parts (no, literally) and it will show you the parts you put in.
That Is explode view.
