### 4/5 — Spectacular Game but One Glitch

*2023-11-15*

Dont get me wrong٫ it's a great game but there is a glitch where when you try buy something like gold it wont load and keeps saying "contacting store" and never loads fully. But it's still a great game that I would recommend for all ages

### 5/5 — Refreshing! 🏎

*2019-12-07, version 1.0.3*

Finally, a good game! Perfect for getting in a few rounds on commute, between meetings (and in the office!). All the while being perfectly balanced to be played for hours on end. Can’t get enough of it. Keep pumping out more. Hopefully other developers take note and start making better games in your footsteps.

### 5/5 — Gdhrvnfg

*2019-11-30, version 1.0.3*

It’s really hard

### 5/5 — Stellar game

*2019-11-27, version 1.0.3*

Great racing game, it reminds me of excite bike from back in the day. Would love to see more nostalgic games like this!

### 5/5 — This game makes me want to go back to Baja

*2019-11-21, version 1.0.1*

I love this game! It’s a Godsend to all other car games! MARIO Kart? What’s that? RC Racer? More like RC Later! This game has everything a car enthusiast needs! Big jumps, big fuel, big air and BAJA! This game has me living Mas...and then some! I highly recommend this game...unless you’re not man enough for it...you’re man enough, right?

### 5/5 — Addicting!

*2019-11-20, version 1.0.1*

I found this game, gave it a shot and proceeded to lose track of time. The game is simple enough. Thus far, the races are quick, but competitive. It’s so easy to just keep hitting next, but don’t forget to hit the garage. Good stuff!!!

### 5/5 — Total blast!

*2019-11-20, version 1.0.1*

Feels like an instant classic- been hooked on it all day! Totally worth a go.

### 5/5 — So addicting!

*2019-11-20, version 1.0*

I recently downloaded this game and I can’t stop playing!

## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated)

### 1/5 — Closes right away

*2021-12-24, version 2.2.0*

The app will open only to the video and once you tap to skip it closes instantly. I have an iPhone 13

### 1/5 — Frustrating as hell.

*2020-10-03, version 2.2.0*

I beat the first campaign and it’s making me spend all my money on this truck that I don’t need Bc if I log in I get it for free. I should not have to spend money that I don’t want to. I wont be playing till this game gets an update.

### 1/5 — DO NOT GET THIS.

*2020-09-24, version 2.2.0*

You may think it’s some sick 3rd person off-road game but it’s actually some stubby old side view game or whatever you want to call it if you want some cool 3rd person game this is not it.

### 1/5 — Horrible game

*2020-04-23, version 2.0.3*

This game is horrible even for off road fans. The whole game is lame pretty much just like all the SCORE races on tv. The ultra 4 game is way more fun to play but this game makes no sense. You have no throttle or brake but you have a shifter and can do flips, seems pretty lame to me.

**Developer response:** Hey Baja Fan, We're happy you gave Baja Big Air a shot! We originally had gas and brake controls, but we found we never let go of the gas! So, we embraced the speed and decided that up/down shifting worked better for our arcade style racing game. Thanks for playing!

### 1/5 — The shifting

*2020-01-02, version 1.0.5*

The shifting is pathetic and makes the game horrible!

### 1/5 — Lame

*2019-12-27, version 1.0.4*

Ehh, pretty lame

### 2/5 — Issues.

*2020-07-25, version 2.2.0*

1. Vintage truck given however I couldn’t use it to advance to the next stage, I had to purchase the same vehicle, this spending 56k.
2. Received 750 gold bar, but never received it. Now I’m stuck having to receive 1 bar at a time.

### 2/5 — I wish it was fun.

*2020-04-16, version 2.0.3*

This was just lame and felt like a cheap money grab. Your original vehicle is so underpowered from the start and upgrades don’t help all that much. You can only do a few races then your car is too “damaged” to do anymore unless you stop playing for a while or break out your wallet. It’s obvious that the game is leaning you towards buying stuff right from the start and is not even pretending to be competitive. This game pulls every stunt to try to get a dollar out of you. I wish that companies like King and Raceline backed some of the other ambitious off-road games and not this cheap crap. Even the Baja deserves better.

### 2/5 — Frustrating and ridiculous

*2020-01-04, version 1.0.5*

The game is a lot of fun, but it’s really hard to beat anyone. You can only earn cash for any given  position once, so it’s almost impossible to earn cash to upgrade your pathetically powered truck. I like that the upgrades don’t go up in cost, but I suspect that it’s due to the fact that you have to fight really hard to earn cash. Get this; you also can’t use real money to buy cash, only to buy boosts. It also doesn’t seem like upgrades do a whole lot to improve performance, as I have currently upgraded my speed to level 8, power to level 7, and boost to level 4. The game has huge potential, but it severely falls short on the user friendliness. I really hope the developer takes the time to read my comment and make the changes to the game so  more people can enjoy it.

### 3/5 — Crashing error

*2020-07-10, version 2.1.1*

Fun game worked for a few weeks and now it keeps crashing. Hopefully an update to fix this comes soon.

### 5/5 — Great game

*2020-10-15, version 2.2.0*

Extremely fun game but the bosses are a little to easy

### 5/5 — Nice

*2020-04-30, version 2.0.4*

Can you make a nascar game? And no problem I always loved trophy trucks and your game just made me love them even more.

**Developer response:** Hi Fusinxgamer, a Nascar game would be fun! For now, we're focused on making Baja Big Air awesome! Thanks for playing!

### 5/5 — Epic, classic, super fun!

*2020-04-11, version 2.0.0*

This is one of the best classic racing games I’ve seen in a while. The game was already fun but you can tell that the developers put a lot of care into taking it to the next level with this latest update. So much to do and all the excitement you could want. 

Over the top jumps and flips with a classic look and feel. Tons of customization. I’m only on the second race but can’t wait to unlock new series and really get into tuning my ride. 

Love all of the inclusion of the off-road race world in the game. SCORE is a legendary series with Baja and it’s great to see so many people participating. From the drivers to the sponsors it’s a super cool interpretation of off-road racing for the mobile phone. 

Great job! See you at the finish line!

**Developer response:** Hey SpaceCowboyz, Thanks for playing! We're glad you're enjoying the game. We've got plenty more coming!

### 5/5 — Best ever

*2020-04-08, version 2.0.0*

This game is so cool.  I love all the different levels.  Baja rules !!!

### 5/5 — Raymond Veler

*2020-02-18, version 1.2.1*

Great game Rat 🤘🤘

### 5/5 — Wow, Incredible

*2020-02-09, version 1.2.1*

This game is really compelling. Not only are the controls really simple and easy to use, but it also provides an ample challenge that rewards you greatly upon completion. I would recommend this game to anyone who is a huge racing game fan!

### 5/5 — Overpowering

*2020-01-03, version 1.0.5*

The white what appears to be a ford raptor with a skull on the side wins every race that I race with it unless I go about 50 miles back and then even sometimes it beats me, I think that it needs to be toned down and not be so overpowered.

### 5/5 — Super fun challenge!

*2019-12-25, version 1.0.4*

Loving this game. It’s both fun and challenging. Can’t wait to keep playing and keep up with all the exciting future updates!

### 5/5 — Awesome game.

*2019-12-19, version 1.0.3*

This is pretty cool. Being a offroad racing family and seeing certain companies involved is awesome. This game would be even more amazing if it where based on a better scale. Smaller mor realistic jumps and whoops. I know it’s called BIG AIR! Maybe make a separate game with more realism in mind. I think this is a genius start to that. Keep up the awesome work guys!

### 5/5 — Fun for Off-road fans

*2019-12-08, version 1.0.3*

As an off-road fan it’s cool to have a genre specific game. Plays sort of like mad skills MX but a little more skill required with the shifting up and down. Cool game. Would love to see the developers do a 3D open world game where you could “build your ride,” start with a production truck platform and modify from there, work your way up to an unlimited class. Maybe the game could be sponsored by a company who is interested in promoting their products!
