  • Summary: SCORE International Baja 1000 recreates the unforgiving conditions and blistering speeds that make this event the most recognized and entertaining off-road racing event in the world. Sporting over 90 vehicles across multiple classes in the real Baja 1000 – including trophy trucks, class I, m motorcycles, ATVs and more – the game challenges players to not only be first across the finish line, but also keep their machine intact! Hyper-realistic dirt and damage modeling in the game means players need to be crazy enough to take chances, but not so reckless that their vehicle is destroyed before the race is over.

  1. Mildly entertaining as a whole. It features good music, decent graphical aspects, but its severe shortcomings slow down whatever good concept the title originally held. I recommend renting this title first before deciding to buy it. If you’re looking for a real off-road experience you better off getting THQ’s BAJA.

    Even as a budget game, Baja 1000 is a poor attempt at virtual off-road racing. The vehicles aren’t satisfying to drive, the overall presentation is poor and everything looks and feels slapped together. If you’re looking for just the barest of bare-bones racers, Baja 1000 certainly fits that description.
  3. Baja 1000 sputters by with what just might be the worst vehicle handling of the decade. [Jan 2009, p.75]
  4. A sorry excuse for a 360 title. [Apr 2009, p.92]

    Im a baja racing fanatic. I loved DIRT, and even the new Baja edge of control game. I was anxiously waiting for this to top them all. It was a big disappointment. The game is comparable to something done in the 80 s or 90s. The graphics look cheesy, cheap. The sound of the vehicles dont sound real at all. Ive played a lot of racing games. But after doing about 20 races in different vehicles and environments i simply couldnt play anymore. THE ONLY cool thing on this game is the movie clip that plays when you start your career. Expand
