Item Description

Starsky & Hutch hands you the keys to the most famous red-and-white car of 1970s television and asks you to make the chase look good on camera. Based on the classic TV series and released as Hollywood readied its movie revival, the game frames every mission as an episode of a show being filmed, and the scoring system is literally a ratings meter. Hit the bad guy’s car, pull off big jumps and skids, smash bonus targets, cut close to pedestrians without hitting them, and the viewers stay tuned. Plow into civilians and they switch off.

You drive the Gran Torino as Starsky while Hutch’s gunfire, set to free aim or auto aim, chips away at the getaway car, and most missions come down to running down a criminal’s car and wrecking it, with a secondary target for extra credit and pickups that improve your grip, your ratings or your firepower. Eighteen missions are spread across seasons, narrated by Antonio Fargas, Huggy Bear himself, and your medals decide whether the network renews you: a gold and two silvers in season one earns a second season, and stronger results earn a third. A free-roaming mode lets you cruise the city looking for trouble between episodes.

It is a scrappy, arcade-minded licensed game rather than a prestige release, and reviews at the time were mixed. What makes it fun today is how fully it commits to the bit: the period cars, the funky TV-show framing, the ratings ticker that rewards showboating as much as good police work. It is a goofy, high-speed slice of 70s cop-show nostalgia on the GameCube, and the rare licensed game that understood its show was meant to be fun.

About the game

Starsky & Hutch is an arcade racing game based on the popular TV series from the 70s, released to tie in with the film. The game includes 18 missions, each based on an episode of the TV show and introduced by Antonio 'Huggy Bear' Fargas. There is also a free roaming mode, in which the player explores the GTA-esque environment looking for action and trouble. Like the film, the game does not entirely play it straight. Starsky & Hutch are actually shooting a TV show, and the scoring for each mission reflects how ratings-friendly your driving is. You are awarded gold, silver or bronze medals for each mission depending on performance, and must get at least 1 gold and 2 silvers on season 1 for a second season to be commissioned, and 3 golds and 2 silvers in season 2 for there to be a third for you to play through. The overall goal in each mission is usually to chase and destroy a criminal's car. There is always a secondary target as well. In addition, the player will gain viewers by hitting the bad guy, pulling off elaborate jumps and skids, nearly hitting civilians, and hitting the bonus targets such as canisters which are strewn through the levels. Hitting civilians will lose viewers.
