    I played a lot og NFS games and now i tsted the first Jucied street racing game. It was however a terrible game because the driving was so unrealistic. You would do an u turn just by turning left. This game just pissed me off so i had to make it official. Anyway what u guys think about this street racing game? It reminds me of the old 2D sega driving games. Even in 30 kph u do u turns if ur trying to go left or right omg!!

    "copycat" games are rarely, if ever, as good as the original title.

    If you're looking for realism, try this

    lfs.net

    I love it. Theres a free online demo too with a few or the slower cars in it to help you get used to it. Pressing 4 before you start racing helps too (turns on suggested line).

    I liked it whe i had it years ago on the xbox, juiced 2 was pretty good too on my lappy even though very fiew reviews had anything nice to say about the game.

    Racing games to me are just a bit of quick fun and juiced satisfied my needs just fine.
    Maybe try playing the game with a controller?

    I tried both juiced games. Both of them are terrible.

    I've played Juiced 1 (not 2), I got to 200 in the world rank and I played with Imp, number 1 at the the time and number 3, 9 and 12. It was amazing to see them running.

    If it's a copy of a NFS game it has to be baaaaaaaaad. NFS games were bad since EA took over.

    i actually enjoyed it. it wasn't meant to be realistic i don't think. it was kinda cartoony in a way. it was just meant for adrenaline, like burnout. those games are highly non-realistic, and they're just meant for arcade fun.

    NFS, to me, would hardly classify as a legitimate realistic racing game. it's another fun game, and the underground series is a complete joke in realism, but it's just fun.

    for realism i think Forza and Grand Turismo has it down the best, however, there are probably other racing games out there that do it well too; i'm just not very big into racing games. i get bored of doing laps around a city and whatnot.

    coming from a person who used to drive a 450RWHP vehicle, i can tell you most video games portray cars poorly in terms of performance and handling, and even GT and Forza come close, but they don't simulate the real thing properly.

    the thing i hated about Juiced is that you cant lose!!!
    if you lose all your cars and have no money to buy a new one you are given $30,000 to start all over again, i also didnt like how it didnt have a story or anything with it
