BAJA: Edge of Control HD is an Arcade/Simcade style Offroad racer its kinda a little hidden gem but with a few problems: Pros: + 9 open world maps (95 tracks) + 8 race classes + 46 cars (2 arent in career mode for no reason, i dont count the bonus cars) + 4 game modes (track curcuits, rally, open class and hillclimb) + helicopter mechanic is unique to help you during the Rally and Baja stages + bots are fun to race with they also make mistakes + fantastic track design + great soundtrack (simular style to DiRT or Flatout) + Rally stages simular to real rally only no driver with its sign messages + the two bonus cars are a fun little thing to try out + graphics are soild Cons: - the draw distance is kinda odd, lower shadow pop up or trees and gras - Career mode is fun for a while but for example the last two Trophy Truck championships feels a little bit to long - some stages here and there have a few balanced problems sometimes a little bit to easy other times a little bit to fast and other times its perfect - Career mode is fun but anything special you just race the events and thats it but its fine Very fun racing game but during the end run its gets a little respetive but still fun enought to finish the game to 100%. I would recommed rather play with Simulation mode rather than aracde for the reason that in Aracde physics are a little to floaty and in simulation mode you have more grip. One more thing good to know if you hunt for achievements then for online you can completly play alone and do them without need any players. If you like games like DiRT/Motorstorm or any aracde offroad racer you can check it out its diffently worth a try!

100% recommended. Lots of arcade fun but also hidden depths if you want to get into that.

One of my all-time favorite racing games. There hasn't been a game released since that does so well with suspension physics. Still holds up.

I was looking for a fun Arcade Racer and BAJA: Edge Of Control is just the game i was hoping to find. I am seriously bored with the market flooded with Sim Racing titles. You ask me Sim racing is for the birds. Those games cannot hold a candle to the good old arcade racers. Arcade Racers are simply too much fun. Maybe Sim Racer Fans need an expensive steering wheel first to be able to "handle" FUN! xD Anyhow BAJA is just plain amazing to play. Apart from the controls setup which is a sad excuse and still feels like a console game got quickly ported to the pc. But once you set the controls up and get a few races done to get the hang of things you are in for a great time.
