Play Starsky & Hutch (U)(DCS) Online

Starsky & Hutch for the Game Boy Advance came out in 2003, published by Empire Interactive. It was part of that wave of licensed games that tried to capture the feel of a TV show on a handheld, back when developers were still figuring out how to make driving and action work smoothly on the small screen. You get the sense it was meant for quick sessions, something to pick up between classes or on a short bus ride.

You control both Starsky and Hutch, either solo or with a friend via link cable, tearing through the streets in their famous red Gran Torino. The main goal is to chase down criminals, complete missions, and clean up the city, one neighborhood at a time. Signature mechanics include ramming enemy vehicles off the road, switching between driving and shooting on the fly, and following radio dispatches to find your next target. The pacing is fast, and the difficulty can spike during some of the tighter chases or shootouts. It feels like a straightforward, no-frills arcade experience that leans heavily on the show's style.
