Smuggler's Run

bynick7jq Jul 29, 2012
19 Helpfuls 20 Helpfuls Was this review helpful?
Pros Silly, fast paced driving 
Cons Textures are very plain, at times idiotically frustrating
Recommended it? Yes

Smuggler's Run was more like a Rockstar tech demo than a real game, though it was still pretty fun to play. I remember finishing it and the final few stages being extremely hard. That said, it's hard to say what this game really is or isn't. It's not a racing game, rather it's checkpoint-based... Read full review »

There are better games out there

Pros You get hooked on trying to beat the tough levels.
Cons Long wait between levels for loading. Extremely bad plot.
Recommended it? No

Smuggler's Run is a driving game that puts you behind the wheel as a bad guy picking up contraband and delivering it to it's location. That's it. That's the plot.

GRAPHICS - 5 rating - The graphics are OK when it comes to the terrain, but somewhat poor considering what the PS2 can handle... Read full review »

i found smugglers run to be great!!....for about the first 30 minutes. the terrain was nice and you can do some pretty cool jumps. then i started to play the different missions. or should i say the same mission over and over with just a few cheap changes. they were very repetive. the cars were also...

Pros controls, graphics
Cons sound
Recommended it? Yes

Driving around, stealing things, smashing into people's cars, driving
them into waterfalls. Yep, you can do pretty much what ever you want in
this game. With 3 VERY lengthy levels this game fully expresses the
PS2's ultra graphical power. The levels are made up of so many actual

Smuggler's racing game boring.

Pros A different take on racing.
Cons Poor graphics, not very entertaining, and choppy.
Recommended it? No

I got Smuggler's Run as soon as I got my Playstation 2 and I was quite disappointed. I read about it and it seems to be quite interesting. A mix between Need for Speed and Ridge Racer. I am a big racing genre fan, and playing all of the racing games I have, i must say that this ranks pretty low... Read full review »

Pros Fun ride, play as the baddie for a change, plenty of action
Cons Only two vehicles worth driving, bit too short
Recommended it? Yes

Run Smuggler Run!

It was fun to play as the rogue for a change; something like being Han Solo behind the wheel of a 4x4. For the most part you are picking up various packages and hightailing it over to the drop point before you can be busted by the authorities.

Pros Great graphics, You can see ALOT of the landscape at one time, solid gameplay.
Cons The story mode starts is very easy and suddenly it's VERY hard.
Recommended it? Yes

Smuglers Run is a very original game idea, your a thief in a vehicle, try to deliver goods while avoiding cops and other thieves trying to get your goods. It's a BLAST to play! It has many different levels, vehicles to choose from and it has 4 modes.

Story mode: move through many... Read full review »

Slow to start .. but later missions are addictive wanting to beat them!

Pros Ability to cruise around any level. Lots of missions. Addictive.
Cons Beginning missions are way too easy. Narrator's voice gets annoying. Addictive!

Halo!
This is the second PS2 title I have purchased(I only own 3 because I haven't finished the ones I own). I was reluctant to buy a game since I didn't know what to expect and it is $50 a shot. At first I thought I wasted my money and that the game would get boring since the first 10... Read full review »

Pros Graphics
Cons LOAD TIME, and Re-play value
Recommended it? No

I wanted to write and tell everyone about Smugglers Run for the Playstation 2. I rented this game because the thought of smuggling ?contraband? across the border being chased by cops was exciting. I am not a big fan of racing games, but I thought I would give it a shot. After renting this at... Read full review »

Pros Good Idea
Cons No Control, Not real life smuggling, think GTA with no fun involved
Recommended it? No

I got Smugglers Run as a birthday present, and I was for once in a long time, excied about getting a game. Considering I own/play games for a living, a game I even think about means there must be something good there. Smugglers Run seemed like the ultimate illegal game, the masterpiece on top of...

Smuggler's Run: It'll mock your manhood

byAntimatter Mar 9, 2001
9 Helpfuls 10 Helpfuls Was this review helpful?
Pros Smokey and the Bandits feel, solid graphics, physics, control
Cons would have liked more customization options in the multiplayer games
Recommended it? Yes

Despite the criminal premise of Smuggler's Run, what we have here is a shining example of a game done right. Everything is well balanced: realism vs. game fantasy, graphic prowess vs. performance and challenge vs. accessibility.

You play a smuggler, shuttling around various contraband,... Read full review »

Let me first start off by saying that I am going to try and make this opinion as unique as possible, so hopefully you like what I have done.

Pros Smooth graphics, huge levels
Cons Repetitive, boring gameplay, lousy announcer
Recommended it? No

Smuggler's Run is a racing game in the same vein as Driver, considering that you'll spend most of your time operating on the wrong side of the law. Basically, you're part of a smuggling gang, and your job is to ferry goods across the Canadian and Mexican borders, all the while evading rival gangs... Read full review »

After renting nearly every PS2 game in existance, and being thoroughly bored with the DC, I have decided that the console gaming industry is in a huge rut right now.

Part of the mass of titles stuck in that dredge is Smuggler's Run. Smuggler's Run was basically hatched from the same idea... Read full review »

Pros Excellent graphics, plenty of missions, great multiplayer fun.
Cons Very hard, missions can get repetitive, some slight handling problems.

The wait is finally over, and Sony's new next generation super system is finally here. So I ask you, what good is a new system without the games that show what the new hardware is capable of??? This is where Smuggler's Run comes in. What other game lets you smuggle contraband over borders while... Read full review »

Finally! After months of searching, I spotted the last PS2 system on the shelf at K-Mart last weekend and immediately grabbed it. After finding all the accessories I had to then purchase (extra controller, memory, stand!) it was then time to select a couple of games. Smuggler's Run immediately... Read full review »

I really thought I would like this game. I really WANTED to like this game. Alas, it was not to be.

The manual got me really excited about the game. I couldn't wait to hop in my buggy and go tearing around the landscape running contraband for my gang. Unfortunately, the game did little to... Read full review »

I admit at first I was wasn't sure if I liked this game, but after a good hour of getting used to it I think it is the best game out for the PS2* (*not counting Madden 2001, of course). I can't stop playing it. Some people complained about the lack of a good story, but with a game this fun you... Read full review »

Not bad, but not good either. I bought it, because of the off-road racing idea, which primed me. With the limited number of racing titles at launch I thought it would be worth checking out.
