Video Games Reviewed

Starsky and Hutch PS2

This game is the best gun game I have played yet. For those of you with a friend and a Guncom, this game rules. Basically, you follow along an episode of the show by hunting down different bad guys - vehicular style. One player is the wheelman (Starsky) and the other is the gunman (Hutch) who is dangling out the side window with a revolver. The point system is based upon how it would be enjoyed by the audience so explosions and jumps give you points, while running over pedestrians and getting shot tak them away. Its really fun, and you can still enjoy the game if you didn't buy a Guncom (although it is much cooler with it). Recommended for those of you who play socially.

Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles PS2

In the style of the classic sidescrolling game this one is a proper update to PS2. It is cell shaded for those of you Zelda fans, and its wicked fun multiplayer. The fighting system gets a bit repetitive (especially if you are Leonardo who yells the same line over and over with every attack) but the game is still a bit addicting. The storyline is cartoony, as it should be, and it is clearly an attempt to hook kids on the new tv show and toy line, but Turtles has always been about selling out (remember clown suit Michalangelo?). Another one to play with a friend, limited enjoyment for you single players.
