14 DAY TRIAL // It's official, drift-race-bet-and-mod-your-ride fans, Xbox Live's Major Nelson has just confirmed the availability of Juiced 2: Hot Import Nights via Xbox Live Marketplace, under the form of a free downloadable demo. This game is produced by Juice Games and THQ, being scheduled for a September 2007 release.
Juiced 2: Hot Import Nights includes two types of racing - Circuit and Drift races. According to Gamereactor, the game will start off in a night club where the player selects their character and car. Juice Games has decided to remove the racing calendar, the respect system and the drag races. After choosing a character and a car, the player will get a list of available races, three of which must be won in order to move up to the next level.
Players will also be able to modify and tune their cars with over 10,000 upgrades including bodykits, spoilers, rims, performance upgrades and even the inside of your car. All upgrades are licensed products from real companies such as Greddy, BuddyClub and Stillen. If a player selects a new body kit, he/she will also be able to watch as the new body parts are added to the car giving an inside view on how real cars are customized with body kits and other modifications.
Here's the full list of cars featured in the game:
Ascari KZ1 Aston Martin DBR9 BMW M3 BMW Z4 Chevrolet Camaro Ford Falcon XR8 Ford Mustang GT Holden Monaro Honda Civic Si Honda S2000 Hyundai Tiburon Koenigsegg CCX Lamborghini Gallardo Lotus Elise Mazda RX-7 Mazda RX-8 Mini Cooper S Nissan Skyline Nissan Silvia Pagani Zonda Toyota Celica Toyota Supra
