single player is difficult at times because of AI. multi-player is good. load times are moderate. game grew on me......

User Rating: 7.5 | Baja: Edge of Control X360
By AMBIENTone | Review Date:
The game started out very frustrating not so much of difficult AI (even when set on easy) but some of the courses are too narrow with many turns. This makes it more difficult with 10 other cars. After moving up to different car classes the courses do tend to get easier and driving skill is required more than just survival.
Multi player is good with decent load times. The only downside to multi player races is the fact that when other players are nt doing so well and they quit. Not much of a problem when there are enough other players but when there are only 2-3 other players it stinks. You get kicked out of the race and also lose out on player stats. I have a 50% quit ratio. And, I have not quit a race yet.

Over all, this game is good especially, for those who are into racing games. Plenty of speed and bumps with some crazy jumps. You have a clutch which is sweet for fast starts and also getting out of turns. There is also a pre-load for the jumps which makes for some sick hits.

    Probably the best, most realistic Baja game on the market.

    If realism in racing is your thing and you just can't wait for Gran Turismo 5 then this is a good place to start. Out of every offroad game I've ever played Baja: EoC is the most realistic. Driving on these terrains is... Read Full Review
