Juiced 2: Hot Import Nights

By Emily Buxton

The Fast and The Furious: Tokyo Drift may not have been your favourite movie but there’s no denying that it made drift racing look hot. Juiced 2: Hot Import Nights is just around the corner and will have you pulling out those old car posters to tack back on your wall.

Based on the real-life Hot Imports Night tour, Juiced 2 lets you experience the culture (read: babes) and excitement of the massive lifestyle custom car show, while indulging in some good old-fashioned dirty street racing.

New game features include addictive drift/powersliding races and “Driver DNA” that tracks gamers’ personal driving traits. These profiles, along with the profiles of select celebrities will be available for download across all online gaming systems. Gamers will also be able to bet cash on each event, bringing a gambling element to the game that greatly increases the importance of each race.

With 90 digitally scanned cars and over 250 aftermarket mods and numerous combinations of character features, players can treat themselves to the ultimate car and driver customization. So if the racing doesn’t interest you, why not spend your days making a car that’ll turn your mates green with envy? If you’re going to lose the race you might as well do it in style! Finally, unleash your inner risk junkie by challenging other players for their cars and putting yours on the line.

The few races our staff has had a sneaky go at look mighty fine and feel even better. Being released late September for the PS2, PSP, PS3, 360, DS and PC, Juiced 2: Hot Import Nights looks set to be a solid racing experience, and the closest most of us are ever going to get to some of those sexy cars.
