Edge writes: "Based on the real life Baja 1000 off-road event, Baja: Edge of Control pits players against the dangers of desert roads, mountainous terrain and cutting edge AI. Featuring close to 100 different tracks, countless parts with which to customize your ride, and more vehicles than Polyphony Digital can shake a polygon at. Baja: EoC is like an off-road fantasy come true.
There's so much to cover for this game it's almost difficult to know where to start. Well, I guess it's best to start with the amount of tracks this game has to offer. There's over 95 different tracks ranging from the Baja 250 courses, the Baja 500 courses and the ultimate Baja 1000 course. To take on these tracks 2XL has provided a hefty set of vehicles to choose from. Hence, players will be able to select from numerous off-road vehicles that can be customized and modified as players progress throughout the game. Earning cash from sponsors can be used to select shocks, drive trains, parts for aero dynamics, brakes, cooling and more. In addition to buying parts and upgrades, players can also fully customize their ride with detailed tunning and test run options."
Baja Edge of Control coming digitally to Xbox One, PS4.
It’s no secret that the Xbox 360’s lifespan is coming to an end, meaning we’ve got an extensive library of games to sort through and possibly trade-in to GameStop or EBGames. Because of this, used Xbox 360 games are incredibly cheap, and a lot of people might be spending this summer adding those last few games to their collections.
Time to round up the best racing titles in a Top 10 run down.
There are games with niche followings, and then there are games that absolutely nobody played. Baja: Edge of Control is one of those games.
Lost in the skyrocketing popularity of Call of Duty and Halo, Baja: Edge of Control quietly landed on store shelves in late 2008, a month before the two major shooting franchises released their yearly variations. And it sat there. After six months, those copies were moved to the bargain bin, and eventually, GameStop. Today, over five years after release, online leaderboards struggle to show more than ten or eleven people with registered lap times at most tracks. Online itself was a ghost town since launch day. People simply didn’t buy this game.
And that’s a shame, because Baja: Edge of Control is a title that any motorsports fan shouldn’t hesitate to add to their collection.
A Motorstorm clone!
But without the bikes and monster trucks......and action.
