    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]

    The in-game graphics are acceptable at best, with the cut-scenes barely making the grade. [Dec/Jan 2004, p.92]

    Although the driving engine isn't bad at all, the automatic targetting system is more than a little chaotic and clunky.

    It's one of those games that nobody really asked for, so that leaves only one group of people who will be buying Starsky and Hutch: suckers. [Nov 2003, p.88]

    Who would want to admit to buying this? We’d certainly be too embarressed to show this to any of our friends, enemies, neighbours, random strangers off the street, pet cat...

    A somewhat okay forgotten licensed game to a beloved tv show.

    There was something I always liked about this game when I had a PS2 Magazine DVD which contained reviews of imports and upcoming games of the year and this game. I remember it so vividly.

    I did like the cel shaded graphics on the character models and the Ford Gran Torino. The other form of graphics was good as well but suffered from poor draw distance. I loved the soundtrack. The sound was great but the voice acting gets really irritating when you tend to make mistakes or drive poorly. The gameplay is fun. There is a variety of unlockables such as cars, bonus tv missions and behind the scenes footage from Huggy Bear.

    The main flaws with the game are the terrible AI, repetitive voice acting, the awful driving controls and that story mode is too short with only 18 missions.

    It still is a fun game and is cheap to buy. I recommend that you try the game out.

    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 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!! Full Review »
