Juiced: Eliminator is a video game, the sequel to Juiced, developed by the British studio Juice Games. This version takes many elements from the console counterpart. It was released exclusively for the PlayStation Portable handheld system and released on mobile as Juiced 3D. It features a new mode where the player must try not to be eliminated, hence the title of the game. The plot itself is a reboot from the original Juiced, where players start out a racing career in Angel City.

Plot[]

The plot starts at the beginning of the player's racing career in Angel City. The player starts racing a new crew leader called Nina (crew name: Total Power Junkies), who does not respect the player and thinks that the player does not have what it takes to beat her in a race. She lets the player use one of her cars and wagers with the player (the same goes with TK in the original Juiced). After the player beats her in the race, she gives the player more respect, and apologises for being pushy before the race, and gives the player her mobile phone number. This is where the career starts, giving the player a wider choice of race events and allowing the player to collect cars and earn more respect from Nina and other crew leaders.

Juiced Eliminator has a new mode called Career Challenge. It is an extra career that is set by the crew leaders, where the player has to complete a number of races in a limited number of days (and months) to complete the challenge.

Gameplay[]

There are six types of races:

  • Circuit: Standard racing, complete a circuit within the set number of laps.
  • Point-to-point: Race from start to finish.
  • Sprint: A drag race (manual controller only). The player races three opponents in a three heat series race, gaining a total of points after each heat determines the winner.
  • Showoff: Timed race, the player can perform various tricks, such as donut spins, bootleg turns, 360's, J-turns and drifting.
  • Eliminator: Race around the race track in a number of laps. The last person on each lap is out of the race. The race finishes when one driver remains.
  • Relay race: (2,2,2 and 3,3).

Reception[]

The game received "mixed" reviews according to the video game review aggregator Metacritic.[1]
