Activision and THQ Resolve Baja Box Art Spat

November 20, 2008 8:50 AM

Publisher Activision has modified the box art for Left Field Productions' offroad racer Score International Baja 1000 following a legal complaint that the original cover art was too similar to that of the THQ-published, 2XL-developed Baja: Edge of Control.

THQ and Activision settled the issue out of court, reports Patent Arcade, with THQ having dismissed the lawsuit and Activision rolling out redesigned cover art.

Both Baja: Edge of Control (PS3, 360) and Score International Baja 1000 (PS3, PS2, Xbox 360, Wii) are now at retailers, with the new artwork expected to hit shelves shortly.

I think the real news here is that there are two Baja racing games. The more you know.

  You only thought there was just one because Activision used the same cover art for theirs [/THQ lawyer]

    Its OK, they fixed the confusion. The second one is clearly a suspension designing game.
