Off road baja type game?

I'm looking for a very open driving game like Motocross Madness 2 but with baja type cars instead of motocross bikes. Does this exist?

In terms of truck handling and any attempt to come somewhere near real-world physics models, Insane and Screamer 4x4 do much better than MTM2 or the 4x4 Evo series (which don't even attempt to replicate anything remotely 'real world'). I think you can download demos for all of the above games. MCM2 is better than any of them as an overall package, IMO, so don't get your hopes too high.

Does anyone know if they ever patched the Paris-Dakar Rally game? It was recently run, and televised, and when that game was announced I was excited, but then it turned out to be mostly an arcade game that was in bad need of patching.

It's been patched three times. Final patch available now at the Broadsword website. On Wed, 23 Jan 2002 01:24:34 GMT, "Jay J" <[email hidden]> wrote:

You might look at Insane by Codemaster. Here's a review by The Adrenaline Vault: http://www.avault.com/reviews/review_temp.asp?game=insane Also see: http://www.gamehelp.com/title/pc/insane/main.htm I believe there is a demo.

Not quite a full game (in terms of tracks) but there is a mod for Nascar Heat called "Baja Beasts". You can run them on any of the original NH tracks or the 50-60+ add-on tracks that have been developed (quite a few dirt ovals). The best (for Baja) is Desert Thunder. The physics are spot on, much better than anything else I've tried.

You might want to try 4x4 evolution (1 or 2) or Test Drive Off Road. IMHO, 4x4 Evo has the best graphics for a 4wd game and there are millions of add-on trucks and tracks. Hope this helps. -David "Destroy" <[email hidden]> wrote in message news:[email hidden]... > I'm looking for a very open driving game like Motocross Madness 2 but > with baja type cars instead of motocross bikes.
