Smuggler's Run for PlayStation 2

Pros: Similar to Driver...
Cons: Only you're driving for 50 feet.

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....

Pros: Multiplayer can be fun
Cons: Terrible handling of the car, terrible single player missions, the whole game gets annoying after a while.

Of all the current PS2 games to come out, this title surprised me. With its interesting idea of transporting illegal items to different people, being a runner sounded something cool. Coming from the same people, who brought us Midtown Madness, this game...

Pros: Smokey and the Bandits feel, solid graphics, physics, control
Cons: would have liked more customization options in the multiplayer games

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...

Pros: Open environment, running over border patrol officers
Cons: graphics, sounds, physics, gameplay

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...

Pros: Very playable! 100's of missions
Cons: annoying commentary

I will freely admit that my enthusiasm for this game is probably slightly elevated in light of the disappointing selection of launch titles for the Playstation 2, but of the initial launch titles I have played, Smuggler's Run is by far the most enjoyable...

Pros: Great graphics, gameplay, ect...
Cons: The cops can be tricky to avoid

BILL'S SMUGGLER'S RUN REVIEW
Hey everyone! Bill's back with another PS2 review. Here's a nice littel gem I found called Smuggler's Run, a pretty neat game for the Playstation 2.

A QUICK SUMMARY
The basic idea of the...

Pros: Smooth graphics, huge levels
Cons: Repetitive, boring gameplay, lousy announcer

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...

Pros: Graphics, control, freedom, music
Cons: operator, loading, police

With the title release of the playstation 2, and the screenshots of racers such as Ridge Racer, and Grand trismo many gamers wondered "what would a free landscape racer be like?" With that they the great game of Smugglers Run. The plot...

Pros: Hitting people with your truck and tossing your vehicle off of very high cliffs.
Cons: The game is a tough challenge. The missions also become very repetitive fast.

The lineup for PlayStation 2 games is just endless. And out of the three racing games out so far on the system, this one may be the best choice.

Smuggler's Run places the player with multiple options. Play with a friend against the enemy. Play...

Pros: You get hooked on trying to beat the tough levels.
Cons: Long wait between levels for loading. Extremely bad plot.

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 ...

Pros: A different take on racing.
Cons: Poor graphics, not very entertaining, and choppy.

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...

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

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...

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...

Pros: PURE FUN - awesome crashes
Cons: none

This was the very first title we purchased and it was VERY worth it. Smuggling is big business and you get your chance to run contraband with glee. But don't sit idle because there is a constant onslaught of border patrols, cia agents, fbi agents, army...

Pros: Great graphics, control of vehicle, vast terrains to explore
Cons: Annoying commentator, limited choice of vehicles on beginning missions

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...
