Gameplayer has gone live with a generally positive review of off-road racer BAJA, in particular praising its controls and gameplay modes.
"There's a surprisingly accomplished racer underneath BAJA's somewhat bland exterior. This isn't Xbox 360-does-MotorStorm, this is a serious racer with a serious agenda."
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.
thats a rather bold claim, the game looks way more like an arcade race than forza
and considering every single car in forza feels different I think this reviewer may be a little too excited
the game looks solid from what I've seen, I haven't played it but I expect it to be in the 7-7.5 range
no matter how tight the controls are, this is most definitely not a next gen game
I think this guy means to say it controls "easier" than "proper" racing titles.
Better? Does this guy have any idea how much physics research and calculations are done for games like Forza or Gran Turismo?
I'd go so far as to say he's talkin' out his ass.
Decent review though, besides that point.
This sounds like a refreshing change and i'm very much looking forward to it
