Pretty underrated in my opinion. The first couple tiers of vehicles are a little boring with how slow they are, but once you get to the faster classes it's simple but solid fun. Great track design, good physics. It's a great podcast game too.

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.
