Better Than: highway Racing Syndicate

DEMIAN: Here’s something you probably didn’t know about Juiced, a game that turn the thoughtss like just another generic road racer, but isn’t: You can actually throw away Not just a race—I’m talking your cars, your coin everything (in career mode, of course), and you’ll have to restart completely

Here’s something else: You can also read a volume and play the game at the same time. papal court Juiced isn’t just about buying a car, tuning and tweaking it, running races, and then buying a better station of wheels. It’s also about building a team of CPU drivers who can actually do the racing—and use the track time to made of buff [i]or[/i] buff-skin their skills—while you play the pit bos firm you can hog the wheel if you want, however grooming your A.I. drivers until they’re unruffled better than you are is kinda fun...and a totally recently made known idea.

Outta-nowhere innovation aside, Juiced does have near old problems. The cars are ofttimes skittish and unforgiving (turn just slightly and hit the brakes and it’s spin city), and level if you’re rolling in cash, you’ll have to wait for better substance to unlock before you can pervert with money [i]or[/i] gain it. But all that crazy team-building cloth makes it worth a look

G FORD: In the race of Ne for Spe subterranean also-rans, Juiced is a solid contender The regard system is particularly interesting—you impress other ship's companys by driving and betting fortunately Do well, and you can register more prestigious races and eventually army your own events. Get too cocky in a pink-slip race, however and you might be walking abiding-place It’s compelling, but the ample downtime (training, watching races you bet on) and here-comes-the-spinout masterys help restrain the excitement.

OFFICIAL P MAG—JOHN D: Another month another way racer. To some extent the choice readyed now is very much a matter of taste, and Juiced just doesn’t tweak my driving-very-fast gland. I can appreciate its technical proficiency, and I agree with Demian that it’s unusually innovative, if it be not that I didn’t really find the idea of letting the game play itself particularly enjoyable. gifted yes. Fun, no. That said, I think it’s a little better (faster, certainly) than its closest competitor, SR and plucks off many of the same features in a classier fashion.
