Official Playstation 2 Magazine UK

A surprising success, Juiced 2 is a glamorous, feature-rammed racer with variety by the hood-scoop load and mass appeal. [Oct 2007, p.86]

IGN

The layout of the Career mode is nice, and there's lots to do. However, some aspects of the car customization are poor, and the track design is fairly generic.

Cheat Code Central

Pretty standard fare as far as the automotive genre is concerned. It certainly gives the experience of a driver on a Hot Import Nights circuit, and that's a good thing. However it fails to bring anything really new or revolutionary to the table, and that's where this title comes up short.

The total lack of online play and lackluster driving mechanics sink this derivative street racer into mediocrity.

Worst racing game ever made for the ps2. Don't be fooled by the of the game at 1st glance, play it and you will see that the graphics are horrible, completely ugly if not humourous. Advice 2 all who want to buy it, save your money for nfs prostreet, cause no matter how bad that game is, it's nothing compared to the bad taste you'll have in your mouths after playing a race on juiced 2.

Gabriel M. gave it a3:
This is the worst and pathetic game I ever played for the PS2. I don't know where start to explain how bad is, first of all the graphics are most like for PS1, not even for make shadow to games like Need For Speed Underground. The music, one of the most important points in this kind of game is totally awful, you can listen the same track almost six times and always very repetitive. The cars models are just nice, but the tunning options are very limited, one more time Need For Speed wins for very far. About the race tracks are too bad, just a few tracks and thats all. To finish this and understand why you need to pass for this game is to see how the stars and the night in the scenarios are represented, its like a paint in the background maded by childrens, not to mention that cars like more toys that real cars. A waste of time, i can't understand what is thinking THQ.

Bruno D. gave it an8:
The racing and drifting experience is great however on the PS2 version it (in my opinion) appears that the game was "rushed". Against the other console 360/PS3 Juiced 2 lacks several features the big one is that there is NO online multiplayer on the PS2 along with less car mods and poor modding efforts ie: little user interaction you simply buy "mod packs". However multiplayer is great and the races are fun and the large selection for cars keep the game alive.

Steve W. gave it a9:
I just bought it and it is really cool. almost as good as need for speed: most wanted but not better. i love the drifting concept and the huge selection of cars. and find no faults in the gameplay or track design. however, load times frustrated me a little(only slightly).
