Baja Edge Of Control

For fans of realworld offroad racing the Baja 1000 is legendary for being one of the most brutal and dramatic endurance motorsports events in the world. Every year racers descend on Baja California to put trophy trucks VW bugs buggies and bikes through a grueling thousandmile race full of bumps hills jumps and bruises.

With its multiple vehicle classes numerous sideevents and largely unexplored potential publisher THQ and developer 2XL Games saw the Baja series as fertile ground for translation to the videogame world and the two teamed up to turn that experience into a game geared heavily toward the hardcore set.

The developers at 2XL are no strangers to the world of offroad racing games and some of them came directly from Rainbow Studios makers of the MX vs. ATV series. But instead of sticking to quads and dirt bikes 2XL went big for its first project taking on the vast environments of the Baja and the complex machines that run its races. The resulting game Baja: Edge of Control is an ambitious effort with some solid components.
