Looks rediculously bland in those screenshots.
Kinda like Motorstorm, but with all the fun sucked out of it.

The problem as I see it with making a game like this is that 24 or one hour races are going to be extremely dull if the scenery all looks the same as the desert screenshots I've seen suggest. MotorStorm's blandish environments were fine because a lap took at most three minutes to do but these long races could seriously work against Baja. I remember playing a PC rally game some years ago which had 20-30 minute races and that was lots of fun as it felt more realistic than the short ones most console rally games have had since but would it have been had the races been two to three times as long...?

Unusually opinion-free, this preview. Hmmm.

Rally Championship for PC had stages of around 15-20 minutes and was still for me one of the best Rally games to date with proper OS mapping and courses.

I was thinking the other day how nice it would be to have an endurance style game. I liked SSX3 when there was a downhill event across the three peaks which you needed to do in under 30 mins. It worked quite well unless you crossed the line at 31 mins and had to start over. :D

"Baja" means "to poo" in Swedish. I think I'll pass.

If anyone is remotely interested in this concept then I'd advise you watch a documentary called 'Dust to Glory'.
This will give you a pretty good insight into the Baja 1000 event. If that doesn't pique your interest then this game really isn't for you.

See the trailer here:

I already have and enjoy DirT, should I buy this?
From what I've seen so far, I doubt it.
