The mod-heavy racing game which THQ salvaged from the wreckage of Acclaim's spectacular financial crash? You do? Brilliant. Then you'll remember that the customisation options were almost unparalleled - the choice of paint jobs, alloys and carbon-fibre wings you could bolt on to your motor was really something. But under the pearlescent exteriors lay a game that was about as joyous to handle as scalding faeces.

Great, right? Thrills and spills... that's what we want. We want a game in which we can gamble away our winnings and lose the cars we've modified and raced for hours on end... don't we?We've been mollycoddled by our games in recent years, lulled into thinking <br /><br /><i>News sourced from: <a href="http://www.gamesradar.com" class="external" target="_blank" class="external" target="_blank">GamesRadar</a></i><br /> 2012-04-08T19:10:00+00:00 http://www.simracingworld.com/news/aggregate/external/1977235-juiced-praise-the-lowered/rss/ Gamely touted by Acclaim CEO Rod Cousens as "a full extension of the culture that embodies street racing," Juiced, developed by Juice Games, looks poised to emulate the phenomenal success experienced by EA's Christmas smash Need for Speed: Underground.Unlike NFS: Underground the game features licensed cars from the likes of Toyota, Honda VW, Fiat, Renault, Subaru et al.

The news that Juiced publisher THQ has bought Juice Games, the UK developer behind the car-modder, is revealed in today's issue of trade mag MCV and is a sure indication that we can expect more Juiced in the future.

The curves are there, but the sense of dangerous speed barely contained - and all that entails for the driver - is not.So the burgeoning trend towards personalised, customised cars racing in 'lifestyle' oriented events, rather than professionally governed championships, is perhaps unsurprising.

They juiced up the graphics and revamped the gameplay and I have to say, I&#8217;m kind of feeling it.
