Cant say I follow your logic especially since you apparently havent tried the demo yet.

For a ps2 launch title it was the one of the only decent racing one ( bar ridge racer ) and multiplayer was awesome...

it was bad graphically and gameplay was average at best
the only decent racing game on ps2 was GT3, but of course to each his own
now let's get back on topic shall we, which is Baja, game called Baja not shmuglers run
|
I asked a valid question , you decided to start this mini episode and now your apparently finishing it with your opinion which you seem to think is final
Was gt3 released at launch ? you seemed to have missed this... For a launch game it was greatfun
Did you actually try smugglers run 1 or 2 . not reading from reviews or the likes . Actually play it with friends and such... ( lemme guess +80 is a real horrid game )
