Hi Guys...

My first post in the games section, and I hope it is a worthwhile one.

I purchased Juice tonight... $99.95 at EB. Got home inserted the disc and got in to my usual PS2 chair. The introduction looked promising, decent looking cars with nice sounding engines/turbos etc racing around and so I began to get excited.

Unfortunately, when comparing the graphics, handling, racing, action, even the audiosoundtrack to that of NFSU2, well there is just no comparison. The cars felt more like bricks on wheels (or some kind of boat) than flexible, suspended chasis. Without having driven any kind of RWD car yet I can not comment on the characteristics of them, however the FWD cars were a joke.

I give this game maybe a 4.5/10 and as such I plan to take advantage of EB's 7 day return policy and get my money back as I just can not justify wasting $100 on a game I will not enjoy.

Bottom line: If you like NFSU2, don't buy this game. If you prefer Jet Boat Racing, this game is right up your alley.

Cheers.

yeh this game realy isnt worth it! It did look promissing last year when it first came out. but youd think having it taken back off the shelves to go back into development for another 7-8 months would have realy made it an awesome game... but obviously not.

i have it... luckily i didnt buy it... yay for the HDD.

i dont mind it... graphically its ok... gameplay is ordinary... the actual concept is better put together than NFSU2... most annoying thing is how hard to judge where the corner starts as there can be too much colour on the screen and makes it hard to tell.

the different modes are quite cool as are the cars available...

all up probably a 6/10 from me.

worth getting if ur not paying for it :rofl: helps u appreciate it a little more...

i cant remember which company it was first released by but, they went broke designing this game, just as they released it. so who ever owns the rights to it now took the game tried to re-make it better, but obviously unsucessful, as you guys have said. i havent yet played it but i take your word for it. i wouldnt spend $100 on it, especially when i get bored after a while with nfsu1+2.

actually having been sick for 8 days this kept me entertained... i think its once u get past the first half an hour and start building up some relatively sweet rides... ive got about 20 now... skylines... chevys... GTOs... racing for pinks and stuff... i like it better than Underground 2 which had no damage and other less realistic things.

still wouldnt pay for it.

I played it at EB, such a shit game. No wonder they went broke with the first time they tried making it, such a dissapointment, another NFSUG copy, not like that game is great as it is. Not worth buying if you ask me, handling is not realistic either. (they state it on the commersial!)

      Mistakes were made, my R34 Story

      By Kinkstaah · Posted

      I mean, I can confirm the TPS is at 100%.... I can confirm when we installed the TB and setup the cable that the TB was indeed fully open at max pedal travel.. the same 'curve' (WRT MAP vs MAP) existed with the previous setup/TB/manifold as well... No, we did not do a run with no intake connected. I would love to go back in time to do such a run to rule out the intake. It would have also been good to do a run with the airbox lid off. There's a test there where increased IAT vs more available air could be a positive tradeoff. I remember taking the lid off my R34 Turbo setup back in the day and noticing a monster increase, even if IAT's did go up. Could be similar. Hard to test unless I find a very deserted road.

      That's actually encouraging to be honest. my motor was rebuild many years ago but it's probably done less than 30,000kms and fucc all limiter or drift, majority street / drag / roll racing. It'll be fine 💪🏼 I don't even have lines or a can for the cam breathers installed yet, there is zero oil residue or splatter on or around them, it drives beautifully so it seems healthy. Just a ticky lifter, yet they're almost brand new oem genuine Nissan and haven't done many kms at all...

      Have you confirmed the throttle body goes to WOT (and stays there) during the run?

      Steps to DIY sanding car back ready for respray....

      By silviaz · Posted

      I'm having a problem. I think it was mentioned above somewhere but can't see it.  I'm stuck in the cycle of, sand, filler, low spot again, put filler, sand, low spot again, now i put filler again and a thicker portion which seems to have helped but I got low spots in other areas. In the image. Circled in red thats where the original low spot was and the shape is the same as the red out line. I've more or less fixed that (still low spot up the top but now I have low spots where the green circled part is.  Is likely the issue that I didn't start with a course sand paper? I sanded the filler with 240 to reduce the risk of not going to far but maybe the issue is that I'm only taking off enough material to remove some of the filler but not the high spots. I now started sanding with 120 and I think I'm seeing a difference. I did fix one dent the other 2 are f**ked and seems like I made another low spot which is indicated by the furthest green circle on the left handside. Any thoughts and solutions?   Also second image. All of these rock chips, can they be filled in with primer or do i need to fill them all with filler/putty? So many rock chips on mine lol.

      Well, I had an Edward Lee's special edition odo windback car/motor with a RB25DET S2 and I put down 372kW with a good amount of track abuse for 1.5 years before the ring lands decided it didn't want to stick around anymore 🥲 But probably didn't help I kept on smashing try limiter on the track and a few skid pans.
