The Wii Baja Conspiracy

Baja Racing Hurts

No matter which vehicle you chose to play with, Conspiracy Entertainment’s Baja Mania and Baja Destruction will provide a great opportunity to crash, smash and bash your way to the finish line.

The word Baja is taken from the Baja peninsula, a desert area in South Carolina where Baja racing first hit the underground. Baja Mania will offer racers a generic rally racing experience, with righter controls and faster vehicles. Racers progress through stages by winning, and can spend prize credits on upgrades to their setup.

Baja Destruction leaves traditional racers behind, focusing more on combat, nitro and improbable racing situations. The developers describe the game as ‘Mad Max meets Paris Dakar’. The game will prominently feature missiles.

Both games, released Quarter One 2007 [Europe], feature a tilt-use of the Wiimote to control the Baja racer.

UK readers rejoice, for you, [and perhaps Australians] will recieve Wii Sports in a quality hard case. Woohoo!

In the US [Wii Sports] comes in a cardboard sleeve - in the UK a hard case.
