    It’s fast and quite good fun for the first few levels, but a complete lack of variety causes you to repeat the same thing over and over again, just with tighter time limits in place. Boredom sets in quickly.

    There are so many shortcuts that the handheld version of Smuggler's Run doesn't even come close to evoking the same kind of excitement as the original PS2 game.

    Yet the biggest complaint is the sheer boredom one has from doing the same thing over and over again throughout 29 levels; the distances between pickup and drop-off points are so long you begin to count pixels or how many times objects "pop" into view.

Los mapas son muy grandes pero las misiones con limite de tiempo evitan la exploracion. El juego puede ser divertido, pero con cortas sesiones. La carencia de otros modos de juego, asi como la carencia de multijugador es terrible. La musica del menu principal destaca bastante ya que el resto apenas se escucha.
