    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.

    If this innovative gameplay was attached to visuals like the ones in "Wreckless," we'd still be playing... and I'd have sideburns. [Nov 2003, p.102]

    With its unique two-player mode and very reasonable MSRP, Starsky & Hutch is a no-brainer of a purchase for light-gunners, penny-pinchers, and people with friends. This is one of the best budget releases I've ever played.

    Compatible with a driving wheel and a light gun, which means that the game's missions can be operated cooperatively with one person driving and one shooting. [17 Oct 2003, p.L2T 20]

    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.    … Full Review »

    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 »
