Starsky & Hutch

About

Starsky & Hutch is an arcade racing game built around high-octane chases and over-the-top stunts. You take control of the titular cops, tasked with pursuing bad guys through a stylized urban landscape. Each of the 18 missions includes a primary objective like destroying a target vehicle and secondary goals such as hitting bonus canisters or pulling off flashy moves. A ratings-based scoring system tracks your performance, balancing aggression with showmanship. Free roaming lets you roam the city, seeking chaos and side jobs in a setting that feels loosely inspired by open-world classics. The game’s gimmick is its scoring system, which ties success to fictional TV ratings. Medals are awarded based on how many viewers your antics attract, with hitting civilians or missing targets dropping your score. Players must earn specific medal thresholds to unlock new seasons, adding a meta layer to the action. Though it didn’t achieve long-term acclaim, fans of chaotic 70s nostalgia and arcade racing often cite its quirky premise and replayability.
