A demo for the Xbox 360 version was released on Xbox Live Marketplace on July 19, 2007. A second, multiplayer demo appeared on September 14, 2007. Ursula Mayes is on the cover of the game on all platforms.
Race Types
The game starts 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 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. Juiced 2 includes three types of racing - Circuit, Destination and Drift races.
Player Character
A new feature in the game is the ability for the player to design their own character. This feature is available only on the PlayStation 3, Xbox 360 and PC versions.
Modding
The exterior can be adjusted in terms of positioning, sizing, rotating and also 'flipping' the decal. The opacity can also be adjusted (for PS3/Xbox 360/PC only). The player can save their decal pack and apply it to any car in their garage. License plates can be modified for PS3, Xbox 360 and PC. THQ now has the ability to filter languages when adding letters to the plates. This means that offensive words are not allowed, in both online and offline modes.The interior may be modded by adding things like steering wheels and racing seats. The color of many items added to the interior can also be changed. These mods can be done only on the PS3/Xbox 360/PC version.
Driver DNA
Juice Games has also introduced a new feature called Driver DNA which records a players style of driving and creates a strand of "DNA". The DNA will be shown before the beginning of a race which can be viewed as a guide of players' driving habit. Other players can then download others' DNA from PlayStation Network or Xbox Live and race against it in the Driver DNA Lab.
Online features
Like the previous Juiced game, online features such as Pink Slip Races will affect the player's Career mode. A new feature is to have an online Career and Crew. The player can download their friends' Driver DNA, view it and add them to their crew. Cars and other items can be traded online. Each car has a log book which tells the current owner how many people have owned the car and what races it has been in. Online betting updates allow a player to bet during races, and see how many people are betting on and against them, and what their odds are. The online features will be a feature only on the PC, PS3 and Xbox 360 versions. As this is a Games For Windows certified game, the online feature on the PC will be available on the Games for Windows - Live online service.All of the following environments are available for racing in the game:
- Alps: A track running through the Alps, with snow and mountain on both sides. Although this track is not listed on the Juiced 2 website, it is in the game.
- London: It is a fairly good track for drifting.
- Paris: Paris contains spiraling tracks all around the Eiffel Tower. It is a very hard track to race on, due to the fact that it has many surprises.
- Rome: This location has a spiraling track in and around the Colosseum.
- San Francisco: This track is suited for normal street racing.
- Sydney: The major landmark for this track is the Harbour bridge, which connects one half of the track to the other.
- Tokyo: The Rainbow Bridge is a big part of the track. Drivers can also speed across the districts of Ariake and Shinjuku
