  • Summary: Based on the 70's television show, Starsky & Hutch lets you 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.… Expand

    My primary criticism is the game's lack of multiplayer options. In story mode, the game does allow cooperative play, with one player driving while a partner uses either a light gun or another controller to shoot. But, while it's a unique innovation and it does produce a more true to life experience -- making perps and power-ups more of a challenge to hit as your partner swerves all over the road -- it struck me as more frustrating than fun.

    The gameplay isn't terribly deep, and the story mode isn't very long, but the game is still mildly enjoyable. What Starsky & Hutch does best is pay homage to the wonderful clichés of 1970s cop shows.

    Frankly, the light gun and cooperative play turn an otherwise mediocre game into a pretty darn good one.

    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]

    First off the game dosnt deserve the score it got from the critics...IT NEEDS TO BE MUCH LOWER. I bought the game because I like starsky and hutch and it was cheap but it wasnt worth the couple of bucks I paid for it. I dont recomend picking up this game, unless of course your a straight up die hard starsky and hutch fanatic. The games not even worth discussing in detail, just avoid it!!… Collapse
