i have no idea what smugglers run is ..so yes tell us why it's great

First one was pretty good, but I didn't really care for the second one.  Didn't capture the thrill from the first one.

Man, imagine a fucking racing game were the one that wins the race is not necessarily the one who gets to the goal first... Imagine there's no heaven, it's easy if you can, no hell bellow us, above us only sky, imagine all the people living for today...

You pick a delivery and you carry the smuggle items from point A to point B in an open world level. You can go anywhere. If someone wants the item you picked up, they need to hit you (your car) and then the delivery passes to that person. Imagine the madness by playing local multiplayer!

Here is a video:

The sencond one added weapons: smoke screen to blind players and AI, oil slick to leave cars spinning behind you, speed boost that pisses anyone who thought he had a chance of catching you and....................... the bomb!

You guys need to check this game out, really!

My only issue with the second one is that they messed up a part of the game by making cars to kind of get glued to each other after being hit. In the first one you hit a car and it is easy to get away, somehow they screwed up in the second.

The the series passed to GameCube and that is the last I knew of the series. RIP Smuggler's Run.

That is probably the biggest gripe I had with the game.  I never read anywhere on why they stopped the series.

haha that does sound one heck of a game. Could be great in the multiplayer driven game industry nowadays too

@nnodley: What part do you mean? Cars glued together of passing to the GC?

@M.U.G.E.N. It really is and you are right. Online multiplayer would fit perfectly in this game unless delays screw up recognizing the hits and not registering when a delivery is passed on.

Even if they didn't sell that much I bet that Rockstar could make a downloadable title out of this. It doesn't need cutting edge graphics to be an awesome game. I am telling you, if this game would be released in PSN, I would buy the shit out of it.

The cars glued together.  It's not like it was a big deal, but it was annoying as hell. Well, really the biggest thing was that it wasn't as fresh as the first one.   I'm kinda surprised they don't have these games on the ps store as a classic game.  Would definitely get a sell from me.

So true. Now that I think about it, the second game didn't have interesting levels, at least compared to the first one where you had the Spiral mountain, the secret tunnel that lead to the waterfalls, etc. I bought them both off eBay some years ago. XD

yea that type of game would have been perfect for a DL title

oh on a different note
