Juiced is a racing video game by British studio Juice Games for Microsoft Windows,
PlayStation 2,
XBOX, and mobile phones. The game was delayed for release in 2004 because its original publisher,
Acclaim, went bankrupt. Juice Games and Fund 4 Games retained ownership of the property and sold the game to
THQ, who funded the project for a further six months of improvements. In early 2006, British software publisher Focus Multimedia re-released the
PC version of Juiced at a new budget price as part of its "Essential" games series. The game offers different modes including career and arcade that present the player with challenges of increasing difficulty. The player can customize the car to suit their style and unlock new ones in arcade mode. The game features nitrous boosts, similar to that of other racing games. Juiced went to number one in the United Kingdom MCV sales charts and its first version sold 2.5 million units.
Early Name & Reused Assets
The Juice logo as seen in early unleaked builds and press screenshots.
The early name for Juiced was Juice. The name change to Juiced happened late 2003 from assets seen. A build exists but is hoarded but the logo was found on the assets disc Damien released.
Unknown to many, is the fact Juiced started as another cancelled game named Lamborghini for the PS2/
XBOX. Many assets were reused when Rage Software went defunct, and the former developers started Juice Games.
