Crank up the funk and slide into the iconic red Gran Torino with Starsky & Hutch for the Sony PlayStation 2! Based on the classic ’70s TV action-comedy, this unique vehicular combat game puts you in the driver’s seat (or the passenger seat!) as the legendary Bay City detectives, David Starsky and Ken “Hutch” Hutchinson. Your mission is to clean up the streets, chasing down criminals in high-speed pursuits while maintaining a “Viewer Rating” by pulling off awesome stunts and taking down bad guys with style. It’s a blend of driving, shooting, and pure ’70s flair!

Key Features:

• Iconic Gran Torino Action: Drive the famous “Striped Tomato” through a fully 3D Bay City, complete with jumps, shortcuts, and destructible environments.
• Asymmetric Co-op Multiplayer: One player drives the car as Starsky, while the other aims and shoots as Hutch from the passenger window. This unique dynamic makes for hilarious and cooperative fun!
• TV Show Structure: The game is divided into “seasons” and “episodes,” complete with ’70s-style presentation and the original voice of Huggy Bear (Antonio Fargas) as the narrator.
• “Viewer Rating” System: Keep the action exciting by performing stunts, near misses, and accurate shooting to maintain a high “Viewer Rating” – if it drops too low, the mission is cancelled!
• Weaponized Vehicle Combat: Chase down and disable criminal vehicles using Hutch’s .357 Magnum and various power-ups.
• Light Gun Support: The PS2 version is compatible with light gun peripherals (like the GunCon) for the shooting player in co-op, offering an even more immersive arcade feel.

The PlayStation 2 version of Starsky & Hutch uniquely supported a fantastic asymmetric multiplayer mode where one player uses a steering wheel peripheral to drive and the other uses a light gun to shoot, recreating the on-screen dynamic of the TV show in a way few games before or since have managed. This feature makes it a standout choice for cooperative arcade action on the PS2.
