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.

TotalPlayStation

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

Happy Puppy

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!

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.

Electric Playground

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.

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

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.

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.

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.

IGN

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 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.

Daily Radar

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.

Games Radar UK (Pre-2006)

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

Gaming Age

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.

CNET Gamecenter

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.

All Game Guide

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.

Game Revolution

An impressive, invigorating romp and a seemingly unfinished, unpolished rush job. At its core, this is a surprisingly limited game. However, it's still loads of fun if you look past its shortcomings.

Varun B. gave it a9:
While it may not win any awards, it proves to be a fun and addictive game that should probably be included with the PS2. The missions are way cool, but difficult and frustrating at times. Nevertheless, a truly unique and 'naughty' experience...this game is severely under-rated

Dragon Knight of Final Fantasy gave it a 7:
It is fun not great it's good to play for a hour or two. It is still a fun game and plus it's cheap now I bought it used for $4.99 at Gamestop. Check it out. Also you missed Offical Playstation Magazine gave it a 4 1/2 out of 5.

Ryan M. gave it a 7:
I think this is a pretty decent game. There are a few problems, but if they can be overlooked this game is good.

Ziggy Stardust gave it a 9:
I feel like SR is very underrated. While quite simple in concept, it's one of the most enjoyable driving games I've ever played. It's got many subtle and great little details that you can appreciate over time.

Peter H. gave it a 10:
