Graphics
Players who bring up Graphics mostly praise it.
Graphics are clean and crisp, framerate with a GTX970 hovers around 120fps with all the bells and whistles on "high".
39 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
Controls
Players who bring up Controls mostly praise it.
I acknowledge it's lackluster racing wheel support and thanks to previous reviewers' "head's up" I was not at all surprised when my old MS FFB Sidewinder wheel wasn't recognised during controller set up.

- Has multiplayer co-op that works well (Had a lot of fun with bros, even got my smallest bro hooked on it)

Co-op
Players who bring up Co-op mostly praise it.
Baja does offer four player split screen for local play, which does make it a good candidate for LAN parties.

Audio
Players who bring up Audio mostly praise it.
Strip away the soundtrack, the festival atmosphere, the bikes the atvs and the monster trucks, but then add 1-2-3-4 hour Rally Raid stages, and an okay career progression, you get Baja Edge of Control HD.
