Game Informer

I find Project Gotham tracks have done better in giving player bite-sized, drift happy courses, but overall this game is the burst of speed that this genre needs. [Nov 2007, p.145]

PSM3 Magazine UK

Surprisingly good fun. A tad easy and simplistic to play, but with loads of variety. [Dec 2007, p.78]

Playstation Official Magazine UK

It is a genuinely exciting arcade racer with just the right amount of meat on its jiggling ass. [Dec 2007, p.102]

Play UK

It's old-school racing, that's for sure. Nevertheless, it's entertaining enough for most folk to consider giving it a bash. Much like "Sega Rally," it has put fun first and built everything around that. [Issue#159, p.92]

Pelit (Finland)

Suffers from the official license. The whole street racing culture just doesn't fit into official closed races, the feel is simply gone. There is no traffic, no cops, no free feeling of open road. There are also way, way too few tracks to choose from. The tuning, though quite fun, suffers from the same lack of variety. [Nov 2007]

GameSpy

The controls are tighter than they are in the 360 version and you will dig the Spook Meter, but the less impressive graphics and a clunky genetic-based leveling-up system may leave you wanting.

IGN

The track design is generally pretty good and the layout of the Career mode is nice. However, some aspects of the car customization are poor and the controls could have used more tuning.

Cheat Code Central

Juiced 2 seems more like an expansion pack to the original than a true sequel. However, it's by far the best of the two.

PSM Magazine

Juiced 2 puts on a good front, but runs out of, well, juice far too quickly to bet $60 on such a middle-of-the-road experience. [Dec 2007, p.88]

Gamestyle

Juiced 2 is hampered by the lack of tracks, unrealistic tuning and some bizarre design choices.

Tom M. gave it a3:
Silly, rediculous physics, impossible drifting challenges, absurd handeling of your car, just a few different tracks and crappy graphics make this game a coaster for my coffee.
