I bought this game for my kids. I remembered Starsky and Hutch from television when I was a kid. This follows them in their Ford Gran Torino through 3 seasons. (Other cars become available.) Each mission is basically about destroying the bad guys car, not shooting or smashing the good guys car, and collecting badges and tokens to move to the next season.

Game play is smooth, graphics are cartoon-like. My kids enjoy the challenge of beating the game, but they tire of collecting badges and tokens although with a few runs they can figure out where they are and compete.

Once they beat the game I am not sure they will want to keep playing, but it has held its value for a month now. When they have friends over that is one of the first discs they pull out just for the sheer fun of driving and shooting. It can be a challenge to win.

For old kids too!

This is a cute fun game for young kids to us very old kids! My wife and I love this game, it is good clean family fun. Great game for two people, we take turns, one driving with the controler and one useing the light gun and shooting at the bad guys. It is different in that both of you are working together doing different things and on the same screen (not a split screen). It is a simple easy game to play (you don't have to remember what every button on the controler is for). If you like light gun shooter games, you will like this one.

What the heck?! This game was really good at first. Then it got boring. What's with those ratings?! Come on! At least let me get of the car. This game is good but frustating. It was Okay. At least Hutch has great 357. Magnum. Starsky also has the car we know and love. The Ford Grand Torino. I recommend this game to people who love fast cars and love nice guns.

THE GAME SUCKZZZZZZZZZZZZ

i don't really have this game and i just want to ask any one thats reading this that has this game and are going to review it. um can you get out of the car? or do you just ride around in the car the whole game? cause im a hard core gamer but i have read the reviews and every one says it is fairly easy.this game would be perfect for me if you could get out of the car.

Great Game

This is a very flashy, very fun car chase shooting game. You get over 20 different vehicles and guns. The TV-like gameplay makes for a good story line. There's hardly any dialogue in the cut scenes, but this was one of the first PS2 games. Gran Theft Auto:$50. Driv3r:$30. Starsky and Hutch: priceless.

Fair Warning: Rent it before you buy

Being a Starsky and Hutch fan since I was a kid, I was looking forward to playing this. The graphics are "cartoon" horrible and the need for "VR" points becomes annoying after awhile. The bad guys are like something from a Chinese Kung Fu movie, you can shoot at them accurately and it takes all day to kill them...and that's with playing with a PS2 gun (I can't imagine shooting with a controller) which makes you lose the mission because you are down on "VR" points. The dialog gets annoying too and you can't skip hearing it either.

Good for beginners, too

We just got a PS2 after having no game system at all since the old Atari I had when I was 13. So learning all the "new fangled" controls is a bit tricky. Starsky and Hutch, as well as being a fun game, is straight-forward enough that the learning curve was easy and enabled me to get right into the action without having to die a thousand times just to learn how to maneouvre. As I get better with the controller, the game is still proving to be fun and challenging without being frustrating.

Great cooperative game experience

I haven't tried it with the light gun yet, but even with 2 dual-shocks this is a unique and accessible 2-player co-op game (one drives, one shoots) with decent replay value. I don't think the difficulty can be increased, but it's fun to go back and beat your old scores and play with the unlocked cars. i suppose it could be finished in a rental, but personally I find it's nice to own some simple co-op games like this that you can pop in and play right away if a friend shows up, esp. if that friend is not a hardcore gamer. as a 1-Player game it starts to feel like GTA-lite after awhile, although for kids this one is better because it lacks the mature content.

I'm Starsky-He's Hutch

Okay here's my disclaimer, I am a bit biased about this game because I am a big fan of the show. When I first heard about this game I went pretty much ape. I thought cool! A game about two of the coolest cops in TV history. I ran out and rented this game first because I wanted to check it out before I bought it. I pretty much liked it right off the bat for a number of reasons. I have to admit that I do wish you could do a bit more than just drive around but since there isn't anything I can do about it I will say that it is fun just the same. I pretty much like the feel of the entire game itself. Very well done. They captured the feel of the show almost dead on. Yeah some times the chatter between Starsky and Hutch does tend to get repetative but it isn't a total negative in my book. There have been bigger transgressions of this and if you've played some of the older Madden titles you'll know what I mean. I personally think that the load times are a bit too much but worth the wait once you're in. About the only time it gets too annoying for me to bear is when I'm doing the extra driving stuff like the races but during normal play it isn't as bad as say perhaps a game like Mafia. Rent it or own it, it's still a good solid game with some unique features to give a player hours of fun and at less than $20 you can't lose.
