Baja: Edge of Control

[Kryz11]

It is odd that this is mostly AUTO talk forum and no one talked about this game

Well it seems great. The release date is 9/22/08 in the USA Both for PS3 and Xbox360
They took BAJA 1000 race and scaled it down to so in game you can drive the BAJA I think 300 for about 4 hours + driving. No terrain will be the same for those few hours of non stop racing. Any time you can give you're controls to the AI if you want a small brake, but do not count for the AI to take the lead. There are also other events like checkpoint to checkpoint for short racing. Game offers 100 tracks, and a lot of cars,160+, that you can tune up/customize with over 200 vehicle parts.

Some events
-Baja off road
-Circuit race
-Rally Race
-Baja race
-Hill Climb
-Open Class
-Free Ride

I don't think this will be as SIMULATION in offroad physics, but it seems it will feel solid and be more real then Motorstorm and other games in it's genera.

100 tracks and heck load of cars, 300 mile BAJA driving nonstop. What could you not love? !! I am deffinetly looking foreward twords this one. I am really excited.

Does anyone play this game? I think it is quite entertaining, through its hard as... well you know. Anyways if you do play it, have you figured out a setting for mini trucks and trophy trucks, so they don't roll over as much? They were fine till I upgraded the suspension (for reliably), but now they are just top heavy. The competition is hard enough and with me spending most of my time on my roof, it makes it that much harder. Any replies would be welcome.

I thought the game looked good at first to, but it wasn't received well by many critics which normally wouldn't bother me, but no-one seems to have it so I've had no real world opinions.
