* NintendoHard: In ''Juiced 2'', the ultimate upgrades for each class have to be unlocked by winning a lap against a far superior vehicle. Some are easier, as the faster vehicle has poor handling, whereas others are frustratingly hard. The best power upgrade challenge pits you against a nitro-equipped Pagani Zonda F on a track with two long straights and two hairpins. Yeah... ''no''.

** ''Juiced 2'' claims to have the BMW M3 GTR, but the car featured in the game has the exhaust position wrong, two seats (and thus doesn't have the large tube where the passenger seat should be that the actual M3 GTR has) and no roll cage.. Simply put, the interior of the M3 GTR is the same of what you'll typically find in an ordinary M3 road car.

-->--'''Introduction'''



* EiffelTowerEffect: The "French Revolution" drift track revolves around the pillars of the Eiffel Tower. And some Rome tracks go past through the Colosseum.

to:

* BerserkButton: The rivals in ''Juiced'' hates their cars getting damaged by you, so it's best not to trade paint. Do so and you will lose respect.
* BadassCrew: You can choose to hire crew members, as some events are crew races, encouraging you to work together to win as a whole.
* CharacterCustomization: Introduced in ''Juiced 2'', allows you to create your own avatar. You can modify and alter your face and choose some of the most unique clothings the game has to offer.
* DrivesLikeCrazy: The sole premise of "Showoff", where you try to do awesome stunts and slick maneuvers. J-turns, high speeds, donuts, drifts, bootleg turns and other wicked moves.
* EiffelTowerEffect: The "French Revolution" drift track revolves around the pillars of the Eiffel Tower. And some Rome tracks go past through the Colosseum. Even the Australian drift tracks are placed too close to the Sydney Opera House.
* FrenchJerk: Nicholas Jamet in ''Juiced 2'' plays a Downplayed example. Place a bet on him, and he'll say that "this race will give 'em a good show".
-->''Nicholas; French, but don't hate. He's got old school Euro-style that makes him the man on and off the track.''
* TheGambler: That's right. Bobby Sawyer in ''Juiced 2'', as he indeed is the trope called "[[RedBaron The Gambler]]" as he speaks. A raver with mad skills and knows all the odds when it comes to betting. He's the only driver who doubles down the bet too.
* HollywoodCalifornia: The setting of ''Juiced'' takes place in Angel City, a fictional town based on UsefulNotes/LosAngeles.



* LargeHamAnnouncer: In ''Juiced 2''. Yes, complete with puns. For example, when he welcomes a track...

to:

* InstantWinCondition: Last Man Standing, which is race where a single rub of paint on the barriers means instant elimination. You can choose to finish the race normally... or spook all the opponents where they lose control and likely hit barriers and instantly give you the win.
* LargeHamAnnouncer: In ''Juiced 2''. Yes, complete with puns.[[{{Puns}} puns]]. For example, when he welcomes a track...



* PitGirls: Lots... and lots of them in ''Juiced 2'', with many having [[MsFanservice well-endowed bosoms]].
* ProductPlacement: Not just aftermarket decals, but also you get licensed mobile phones you can buy like Sharp, Motorola and Sony Ericsson.
* ReactionShot: Overtaking or being overtaken by an opponent, hitting their car spooking them, or getting eliminated shows a live video of the opponent's reaction.
* RubberBandAI: Admit it. Even if you have your [[PimpedOutCar tricked out ride]] with all the upgrades, it's not gonna stop the AI from catching you up.



* ATasteOfPower: As soon as you start your career, you'll try out some of the sickest whips you can get:
** T.K. is so nice to loan you some set of wheels... and that is a pimped-out Mitsubishi Eclipse GSX, just for this one race. Just don't damage it or you're getting the repair bill.
** In ''Juiced 2'', you're offered a nice looking Nissan Silvia [=S15=] for both a circuit race and test you might in its drift event.

!!The ''Juiced'' games contain examples of the following tropes:
* ArtisticLicenseCars:
** ''Juiced 2'' claims to have the BMW M3 GTR, but the car featured in the game has the exhaust position wrong, two seats (and thus doesn't have the large tube where the passenger seat should be that the actual M3 GTR has) and no roll cage.. Simply put, the interior of the M3 GTR is the same of what you'll typically find in an ordinary M3 road car.
** Also in ''Juiced 2'', the exhausts of the [[https://www.igcd.net/images2/005/743.jpg TVR Sagaris]] are not in their correct angle as [[https://www.autocar.co.uk/sites/autocar.co.uk/files/images/car-reviews/first-drives/legacy/9_tvr-sagaris.jpg they are supposed to be]].
* EiffelTowerEffect: The "French Revolution" drift track revolves around the pillars of the Eiffel Tower. And some Rome tracks go past through the Colosseum.
* ImprobablyCoolCar: ''Juiced 2'' features a car that will rarely be featured in any other video game, the Melling Hellcat. It was a concept car designed to be the fastest street legal car in the world, introduced in 2007 (the same year the game was released) and scheduled to come out in 2012, but ultimately didn't go into production, presumed cancelled.
* LargeHamAnnouncer: In ''Juiced 2''. Yes, complete with puns. For example, when he welcomes a track...
-->'''Announcer:''' ''[on Black Ice]'' Welcome to Black Ice! Where [[ExactlyWhatItSaysOnTheTin the ice is black]] and it never cracks!\\
'''Announcer:''' ''[on The Phantom]'' It's the Phantom! Hope the driver never get too spooked!
* NitroBoost: Both games feature nitrous, but its use differs in each game. In ''Juiced'', you have to buy nitrous for a car to use it, and you have limited usage of it during a race. In ''Juiced 2'', nitrous is available in all cars from the start, and it is rechargable by drifting, or in the case of "Extreme Nitrous" events, rechargeable overtime, but it depletes when you hit barriers.
* ShowsDamage: Both games feature damage models of varying degrees. In ''Juiced'' it will affect performance, like a damaged turbo or leaked nitrous. ''Juiced 2'', on the other hand, also shows damage, but it's only cosmetic.
* ShowWithinAShow: ''Juiced 2'' takes place in an in-universe Hot Import Nights live TV channel.
* VanityLicensePlate: ''Juiced 2'' features the potential for one, featuring US (California), Australia, UK, France, Germany, Spain and Italy license plates.
* TheWildcats: One street racing crew in the first ''Juiced'' is named, you guessed it, The Wildcats.
* WorldTour: ''Juiced 2'' Takes place in 7 locations: German Alps, Tokyo, Paris, Sydney, San Francisco, Rome and London.
