Come with me to a time of big, bad cardigans. To a time when Huggy Bear's jive talk was the only word on the street. When cruising in a red-and-white 1974 Ford Torino put the fear into the crims.

Yes, it's Starsky & Hutch patrolling the streets of Bay City, knocking down endless cardboard boxes in tyrescreaming car chases.

Those boxes earn you viewer ratings, as does shooting out traffic lights and stunt driving - don't bypass those ramps. But mess up, let the bad guys get away or get yourself shot, and viewer ratings plummet to the point where the show is cancelled.

Bay City's fun locations will remind you of Vice City while the music and banter take you back to more innocent times. And completing the whole, this is a game that's best played by two co-operatively: Starsky drives while Hutch shoots (or is it Hutch who drives?). Funky.

Starsky & Hutch PS2 Price: £39.99
