About BAJA
In BAJA: Edge of Control, players will conquer more than 100 square miles of the toughest terrain Mother Nature has to offer, including the steepest mountains, thickest mud and deepest canyons ever created. With more than 40 vehicles in eight classes, including Trophy Trucks, 4x4s and buggies, BAJA: Edge of Control features a full array of upgradeable options with hundreds of authentic parts that affect each vehicle’s performance.
