  • Summary: Driving games are about to get a lot funkier. Based on the 70's television show, Starsky & Hutch will be careening to a home console near you this fall. Race through Bay City in Starsky's bright red Ford Torino, while Hutch takes aim at criminals with his .357 Magnum - but don't go thinking this will be a joy ride! If your driving and shooting skills can't keep the TV audience on the edge of their sofas, your ratings will plummet, the show will be cancelled, and it's game over! Don't think you can handle all the high-speed thrills by yourself? Find a partner and let them shoot while you drive. It's time to clean up the streets... in style! [Gotham Games]… Expand

    This is a game about a partnership between play styles, and one that wouldn’t seem to work on paper, but like all good buddy relationships, like Starsky & Hutch themselves, it comes through in the end.

    While the drive-and-shoot gameplay of Starsky & Hutch unavoidably becomes repetitive, the solid level design and great two-player mode combine to make it one of the best budget titles for the PS2.

    Don't let the crappy nature of the game's graphics fool you - this is an action-driving romp combining all the best bits of "Stuntman" with none of the teeth-grinding elements. [Nov 2003, p.48]

    The whole package amounts to a single "Vice City" car mission in which you tail jalopies along rigidly scripted trails, but without the room for improvisation you'd find in "GTA." [Nov 2003, p.173]

    1 point because you can use a wheel. 1 point because you can use a gun too. And 1 point for the first hour of playing before i hated it. More varied missions and a rate of fire which is only hampered by the users finger not the programing. Not worth buying. I just hope all the other companies havent been scared away from the duel peripheral concept.… Expand
