Smuggler's Run Critic Reviews

Overall, the physics find a solid balance between fantasy and reality, and the smooth controls make running contraband an addictive experience.

This is the "Jet Moto" or "Wipeout" of the PS2 launch -- a rare game that makes driving a hell of a lot of fun.

The gameplay is solid, the graphics are on par with the upper echelon of current games, and sound is very respectable.

This is the future of driving games, folks. The environments go on forever, they are rich with detail and they are realistic. The sound effects are great and the music is good too.

Fresh graphics, tight controls, and completely addictive gameplay make this a definite must-have title. To sum it up in one word, it's smugglelicious!

It is one of the “must have” launch titles. You won’t be disappointed.

Its shallow atmosphere aside, there is little wrong with Smuggler’s Run. The graphics will stun even the deepest of cynics, whilst the array of sub-games and variety of missions highlight "Driver’s" limitations.

Though the game gets a little dry and repetitive after a while, the limitless opportunities found in the multiplayer modes and the insane vehicular stunts that make up a good portion of the game's action make it a worthy addition to any driving fan's game library.

Though it borders on the frustrating side of difficult, it's a visual treat and certainly a worthy purchase for new PS2 owners.

While I prefer the multiplayer, and will continue to play it for quite a while, the single player game became a bit too monotonous for my liking in the end.

It’s about time someone used an SUV for more than hauling brats to soccer practice.

A fine piece of work. It's no graphical or acoustical showpiece for the system, but it does offer up its share of fun, depth, multi-player coolness, and innovation.

It's not a stunning looking game, and it's not a very long game, but it is original and fun, and that's a great combination for any game on any system.

Smuggler's Run is a solid addition to any action or racing fanatic's collection.

A title that fuses together a fresh premise, the most remarkable draw distance out there and addictive gameplay that makes a habit of making you come back for more.

It is just a pity that, ultimately, the missions become all too similar.

A decent title. It'll never be one of those "stranded on a desert island" games, but it certainly has replay value and is well worth a look.

While we all know that a life of crime ultimately doesn't pay, a joyride with the fresh and fast Smuggler's Run is rewarding through and through.

While the main game is fun at first, in the Crazy Taxi vein, the novelty wears thin because of the bland graphics and repetitive nature of the gameplay.

Successfully blends the crazy jumps and impossible physics of "Crazy Taxi" with the crime-oriented theme of "Driver." The graphics are clean, the music is catchy, and the game is fun to pick up and play.
