Juiced: Eliminator

PlayStation exclusive

This version of Juiced is built specifically for PSP, with unique multiplayer games and and an expansion on the crew and pink-slip racing features. The game was built from the ground up on PSP, with new cars, tracks, characters and game modes. The built-in wireless connectivity on the PSP lends itself to expanding the multi-player options, including multiplayer crew races, pink slip racing and the all new ‘Eliminator’ mode where the slowest driver per lap is removed from the competition, and the winner is the last one left in the race.

Gameplay

The game features six types of races: Circuit, Point-to-Point, Sprint, Showoff, Eliminator, and Relay Race:

Circuit – A standard race format where players must complete a predetermined number of laps on a closed circuit.

Story

The game focuses on the player's racing career in the fictional city of Angel City. At the start, the player competes against a new crew leader named Nina, who initially shows little respect for newcomers. She offers the player the use of one of her cars and proposes a wager, similar to the mechanic used by TK in the original Juiced. Upon defeating Nina in the race, additional gameplay options are unlocked, and she becomes an ally. Following the tutorial, the player gains access to a broader selection of race events, enabling them to acquire new cars and earn recognition from Nina and other crew leaders.

Reception

The game received “mixed” reviews according to the video game review aggregator website Metacritic.
