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

Antagonist
This is the "Jet Moto" or "Wipeout" of the PS2 launch -- a rare game that makes driving a hell of a lot of fun.
88
TotalPlayStation
The gameplay is solid, the graphics are on par with the upper echelon of current games, and sound is very respectable.
85
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!

Da Gameboyz
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.

PSX Nation
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.

GameSpot
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.
80
Hot Games
Though it borders on the frustrating side of difficult, it's a visual treat and certainly a worthy purchase for new PS2 owners.

GamerWeb Sony
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.
79
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.
78
My Gamer
Smuggler's Run is a solid addition to any action or racing fanatic's collection.
75
GameSpy
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.
75
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.
75
Games Radar UK (Pre-2006)
It is just a pity that, ultimately, the missions become all too similar.
75
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.
70
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.
67
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.
