Acclaim offers race fans this "Need for Speed Underground" lookalike, saying its game is all about the car, with style a close second to speed. More than 50 licensed domestic and import cars with authentic physics can be modified using hundreds of legitimate aftermarket parts to become a unique combination of high-octane simulation and arcade-style racing. Players test their cars on fictional courses in the United States, Japan, and United Kingdom, earning enough money and respect to race and continue to modify their ride. Damage modeling affects both the drivers' respect level, as well as their ability to steer the car, and the entire game is accentuated by a licensed soundtrack. The stakes are high in Juiced; beyond play money, players can race for pinks, but the loser's car is removed from his harddrive, and no backups will be allowed. Available for Xbox, PlayStation2, and PC, online play will be available for all systems when the game is released in the fall.
