Juiced 2 have huge problem with sounds, so the game is jerky and on most PC it is unplayable. I have Intel core duo 3.2gh, Nvidia 9800 GS, 2gb Ram, and my game still crashes. Only way to play this game on Xp is to go to control panel -> sound setting, change hardware acceleration (audio playback) to none. You should first restart PC, change settings, and then start the game. And, of course, you will need at least 3.0gh processor to play Juiced 2.
a window will pop-up. in the upper tabs locate "sound" and switch to it, there you will find Hardware Sound Acceleration Level. Kick it down To none or basic, then see what happens. ive also heard that this games optimized like crap.
