One of the nice things about getting married is that since my fiancĂ© has a PS2, I now have one as well. The not nice part of this is that instead of working and helping plan the wedding I’m spending way too much time playing videogames. The one that’s had me hooked lately is the little known Smuggler’s Run.
The premise is simple. You’re in a car, you pick up contraband and deliver it while avoiding cops and other gangs. It’s not anymore complicated than that, but that’s a good thing. The repetitiveness and simplicity are strengths not weaknesses and help give Smuggler’s Run the feel of a classic arcade game only in a 3d format.
It’s getting to be a little dated and there are certainly more attractive titles out there. But for all of us who don’t have the cash for a Wii or PS3, this is a cheap and extremely fun option to keep you going until those new systems come down in price.
