Juiced: Eliminator is a 2006 racing video game developed by the British studio Juice Games and published by THQ.

It features a new mode where the player must try not to be eliminated, hence the title of the game. The game is a sequel to Juiced and features a rebooted plot from the original, where players start out a racing career in Angel City.

Plot

The game concentrates on the racing career of the player's character in Angel City. The player begins racing against a new crew leader called Nina, who shows little respect for newcomers. She lets the player use one of her cars and strikes a wager similar to TK in the original Juiced. After the player is able to beat Nina in the race, more options in the game are opened up and she becomes an ally. After the tutorial, the player is given a wider choice of race events that allow the player to collect cars and gain further recognition from Nina and other crew leaders.

Gameplay

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

Juiced Eliminator also has a mode called Career Challenge. The mode 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 finish the challenge.

Reception

The game received “mixed” reviews according to the video game review aggregator Metacritic. [5]
