I would have thought that Desert Bus would forever remove both “real-time” and “desert terrain” from the marketing lexicon of any playable video game. As the brand new trailer above shows, THQ/2XL Games’ Baja is eminently playable. Suddenly 240-minute endurance races don’t seem so bad.

THQ Announces Off-Road Racer BAJA

THQ and 2XL Games have just announced the “most realistic off-road racing experience to date,” called BAJA. Slated for this August on the Xbox 360 and PS3, it sounds like a response to Motorstorm, featuring 40 vehicles in eight classes driving 100 square miles of terrain in a cross between off-road simulation and arcade racer. But unlike Motorstorm, there will be a focus on car upgrades and accessories, plus BAJA will feature 4-player split-screen gameplay.
