Activision gears up to invade the BAJA racing circuit as well

Activision gears up to invade the BAJA racing circuit as wellTHQ recently announced it's going to make a racing game based off of the Baja 1000 race. They aptly named the game BAJA. Now, Activision has entered the arena, demanding a piece of the Baja pie as well. Their game, titled SCORE International Baja 1000, is certainly more of a mouthful, but has more in common with Motorstorm than one may initially think.

Over 90 vehicles ranging from motorbikes to trucks grace the game along with realistic dirt and damage modeling. It certainly sounds like Motorstorm, although the real Baja race has been going on for a lot longer than videogames. In any case, this autumn you'll get to choose between Motorstorm 2, BAJA, and now SCORE IB1k. We tried to shorten it. We failed.
