THQ Juiced

Combining the best elements of simulation and arcade-style play, Juiced features more than 50 licensed vehicles; realtime modding with hundreds of authentic aftermarket parts; realistic car physics and damage; and online head-to-head play, including for the first time ever, 'crew based' team racing". Juiced also enables players to choose between arcade settings as seen in titles such as Ridge Racer, or simulation ones as championed in Project Gotham Racing 2. Players can practice in Solo mode; they can express their own "style" of racing using donuts, boomerangs, etc. in Cruise mode, and they can race in Career mode, a calendar-based campaign mode. Originally to be published under the Acclaim brand, the game was picked up by THQ after the original publisher folded, and was given extra development time for significant improvements and added features.
