I was really disapointed with this game. The graphics are nice. Not great by any means. The objectives are too basic & simple. I thought you had to pick up certain drugs & deliver then to a certain spot. Taking long journeys avoiding rivals & cops. This was not the case. Basically, you run back & forth. The fun level is minimal. Common rockstar. You can do much better then this..

RENT BEFORE BUYING!!!

i gave this game 2 stars because it asked "how fun". the game looks awesome and the cars drive awesome, but that is about it. there is a fine line between a game that is difficult and just plain stupid. difficulty is a good thing, you never want to beat it in a day, and the game needs to be challenging.. but wanting to personally find the "testers" of this game and give them a good thrashing - that's not good at all. the controlls are very strange to get used to - if you are used to using r1 for your e-brake on driving games. the police are just plain annoying. and they could have make the sound affects a little less grating and aggrevating.. but that's my opinion..

Mediocre game...

This game has better graphics and handling than the original, but the sequel to the original has raised the annoyance level bar several levels. First, the cops are way too good for this game, even better than the first. This makes the game way too difficult. Next, the unlocking of all the cars and their countermeasures should have been done early in the game, because the cops have way better cars than the player has. Furthermore, what is with the additional cop cars that get resurrected? Lastly, you should have the ability to request a team accompany you, rather than alone. True, some of the missions you do receive a team, but not often. I mean, they should permit the player to choose if he or she wants a team or not to accompany them on the mission. The developers could reduce the point levels and such, if you request a team, but at least have the option out there.

Overall, rent this game before you buy. This is not a keeper.

This is definitely not a keeper. The only good part of the game was driving around. You're only in 3 places anyway in the whole game. And the vehicles are all bad. Basically all you do the whole game is drop off and deliver stuff to other people. The Graphics are great, but it is too frusterating. I would only reccomend this game to people who like driving.

Not Worth The $$$$$

Smuglers' Run 2 is good but its just like anadd-on to the frst but cost 30 buck more. The original is just as good. Also whypy the same amount of money forthis whn you can get Grand Theft Auto 3 for the same amount bu be ableto use better guns, be a taxi driver and steal more cars. GTA3 is better but if thats to violent gt the original smuglrs' run for less $$ and the same stuff.

Definetly a rental.....

This game is not bad, but it is not that good either. The physics are not all that great, but the story behind it is a little bit better. Here are my ratings for it(out of a possible 5 points).

Graphics: 3 1/2
Physics: 2
Game Play: 3
Control: 2 1/2

Good game

Gameplay is good, but I still liked the first Smugglers Run better. Just more missions on this game.

Smugglers Run 2 is a lot of fun as well as challenging!

After renting Smugglers Run: Hostile territory the other night, and hours of gameplay, Ive found this game to be pretty high up there in the list of fun PS2 games. It was at first quite easy, with extremely simple controls and beginner missions. After a couple of hours of solid game play though, and after passing the first seven or so missions, I realized this game isn't so easy after all, though it is still a great game?

What makes this game so great?

The answer to this question is a combination of the simplicity of the controlls, the awesome soundtrack, and the challenging missions. The controls are directional, meaning you dont have to worry about using every single button on your controller, as you do with some games. The music rocks, because its not typical bands playing the same songs over and over again, instead, its a series of more electronically produced music, with its intensity and dramatic tone matching that of whatever mission you're playing. The missions themselves get increasingly challenging, I personally have not yet passed the ninth mission (I plan on doing so tonight though!)

So, if you're up for a few hours of a fun, a challenging game, and want to try your hand as a smuggler of contraband, being chased by border-police as well as the army, fighting battles with other smuggling groups and thieves, grab up a copy of Smugglers Run: Hostile Territory, and have some fun!

Puts the first smuggler run to shame!

With out a doubt this game is definatly a step from the first Smuglers Run. The graphics are a worlds better and there are many more dfferent cars for you to choose from like the atv monster and a army tank.

At first I was heistant of buying this game. I did like the original Smuglers run, but it was lacking somethings. For starters, the one player mode was very short and the graphics were OK. All in all the original smuglers run is very good, but like I said... It could be better.

The second one is defiantly better then the first. You go to various parts of the world, there are more cars for you to choose, and the fuzz is a little easier to beat. I was also impressed by the music. Now when your sneeking goods into different countries you can also get your grove on!

Hey what the heck, go buy the game! You will be impressed and defiantly more satisfying than the first!

This Is A Cool Game

My cousin has this game and I really like t. Today is the first time i played it and I think you should get it. It is cool how you can get contraband (cargo) and take it to the zone (spot) where the arrow is pointing. If someone bumbs into you you lose the contraband then now they have it then if you bump into them you get it back.The point of the game is to get to the zone and drop it off then you get money. I woul give it 4 stars because the only thing bad about it is that it only has 3 levels (Forest, Desert, Snow). (This is in 2 Player Mode) I think it is the same in 1 player mode but I dont know yet. BUY THIS GAME!
