It just doesn't past the quality test/
Despite its flaws it has a few interesting features, like the respect system, you need to earn respect with a group of different characters on different aspects, and the event system, either custom or pre-set. But still, compared to NFSU, this game loses the race many seconds behind, it lacks of appeal & style to provide 'funfactor'.
There's no excuse for a game being in development for so long to result like this.
In conclusion, Juiced is not worth the money, should have been a budget game.
