A PS3 and 360 game based on the Baja 1000 race, which lasts more than a day and generally isn't very popular on television.
The very thought of a game about endurance racing might bring some people out in rashes: what is this upstart entering into the world of Burnout and Need For Speed? How dare it offer races that are based on treks rather than sprints? Baja's certainly daring – and if driving a buggy across desert and mud watching the cacti fly by is your idea of fun, 2XL may have something to press your buttons...
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.
