Some new upgrades to THQ’s anticipated street racer [i]Juiced[/i] were announced this morning by the company. Being fined tuned ever since the game was originally acquired by THQ, they have worked closely with developer Juice Games to work on gameplay elements such as handling and sense of speed, all the while enhancing the all-around experience of racing. The game will also introduce an arcade mode, alongside a redesigned interface and reworked audio.

“We are excited to be entering into a long-term relationship with Juice Games and look forward to providing racing fans with the attention to detail and high performance they deserve,” said Peter Dille, Senior Vice President, worldwide marketing, THQ. “Taking the time to revamp Juiced’s career mode and add an in-depth arcade mode will help establish the franchise as one of the leading street racers on the market.”

[i]Juiced[/i] ships for the PlayStation 2 and Xbox in May.
