'''''Smuggler's Run 2: Hostile Territory''''' or simply '''''Smuggler's Run 2''''' is a [[video game]] released for the [[PlayStation 2]] in 2001. It is a sequel to the 2000 game ''[[Smuggler's Run]]''. Like the first game, the player is a smuggler trying to deliver illegal cargo to destinations within 3 large maps in the game using several different types of vehicles to make deliveries in a given amount of time. A [[GameCube]] version was released in 2002 titled '''''Smuggler's Run: Warzones'''''.

The game was originally supposed to take place in [[Afghanistan]] but following the attacks on the [[September 11 attacks|World Trade Center]] and the subsequent [[invasion of Afghanistan]], the developers changed setting to the desert regions of [[Caucasus]].<ref name=IGN>{{cite web |last=Perry |first=Douglass C. |date=October 31, 2001 |url=https://www.ign.com/articles/2001/11/01/smugglers-run-2-hostile-territory |title=Smuggler's Run 2: Hostile Territory |website=[[IGN]] |publisher=[[Ziff Davis]] |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20220928092613/https://www.ign.com/articles/2001/11/01/smugglers-run-2-hostile-territory |archive-date=September 28, 2022 |url-status=live |access-date=October 30, 2023}}</ref>

As in the first one, the police can drive the same cars but with much greater max speeds, the ability to go faster, slower and turn in midair to land on the player off jumps, extreme acceleration, and they can easily outnumber the player. Along with very inflexible time limits, this often leaves no room for mistakes.
