STARSKY
& HUTCH
Based
on the successful
1970's TV show. 15 square miles with over 150 miles of road of Bay City
to explore.
 
Driving
games are about to get a lot funkier.
Based on the 70's
television show, Starsky & Hutch will be careening to a home
console near you this fall. Race through Bay City in Starsky's bright
red Ford Torino, while Hutch takes aim at criminals with his .357
Magnum - but don't go thinking this will be a joy ride! If your driving
and shooting skills can't keep the TV audience on the edge of their
sofas, your ratings will plummet, the show will be cancelled, and it's
game over!

During
the funky 70's, Starsky & Hutch were the staple diet for
evening
viewing and playground banter alike. And now thanks to Empire
Interactive Entertainment you can stop racing round London in your Ford
Focus at breakneck speeds and jumping on people's bonnets in ASDA car
parks because Starsky & Hutch is due to be unleashed onto the
PC.
Following the style of the TV show the game won't just simply be
another driver/shooter. In each level you'll have to maintain viewer
ratings (VR) that acts like a timer. Saunter around Bay City carefully
obeying the speed limit and people will switch off with boredom;
reproduce the over the top driving of the cult duo performing corner
slides and ploughing through every cardboard box infested alley that
gets in the way and your ratings will soar.
And we wouldn't like to break up the partnership so although the game
can be played in standard one player mode controlling both the driving
and the shooting both versions will allow a friend to pick up the
controller and blast away while you put the pedal to the metal
downtown. But if you are Johnny no mates then an AI Starsky will pop up
during the action to give you advice and generally hurl abuse at the
crims.
Combining
driving action and shooting, two of the most popular PC and console
game genres, Starsky & Hutch will have broad appeal to all
gamers,
supported by a 70s soundtrack, hip-styled fashion and humorous 70s
lingo, all of which meld to produce some truly interactive
entertainment.
