Baja Edge of Control

This game is one of the best desert racing simulations so far. Although playing with a steering wheel is difficult because of the need to turn the steering from "lock to lock" extremely quickly. Don't expect it to not make your arms tired. I have found it easier to play with the remote but when you want to really feel like you are desert racing, the wheel is the way to go. The only thing I don't like about it is that it is not headset compatible. I recommend it for the experienced driver, however the slower classes are alot easier to control. The higher classes, beginning with the Mini Truck class are extremely hard to control if you don't learn the way your vehicle travels extremely fast across the unpredictable terrain. All in all, I love it. It's more realistic than DIRT. I haven't played DIRT 2, but the handling realism is going to be hard to beat.

  • Sep. 22, 2008 Review: Baja: Edge of Control (360)

    As a Camaro is to a Ferrari, such is Baja: Edge of Control to the world of digital off-road racing. It's a poor man's effort to seize a little soil in the shadow of bigger, better names. It's not nearly as pretty as MotorStorm nor as energetic, although it's definitely dirtier thanks to sloppy handling and gameplay that idles in neutral.

    THE BOTTOM LINE Too much emphasis on simulation stalls Baja. Despite a wealth of tracks, vehicles, and varied modes, its sloppy controls make it fundamentally inaccessible. While it's a good value, there's not much fun to be had here.
