GameGrin: 4 / 10 by Christian Wootton

A fun game on console ruined on PC by lackadaisical and lazy porting.

GameSpew: 70 / 100 by Richard Seagrave

Released at a budget price, Baja: Edge of Control HD isn't going to blow anyone away, but for racing game fans after some cheap off-road thrills it's certainly worth considering.

Daily Mirror: 3 / 5 by Ryan Brown

As Baja can hardly be called a beloved classic, it's an odd choice for the remaster treatment, never managing to feel anything more than a decade-old racer. Who says remasters should be reserved for the cream of the crop though?
