Viewer Rating

The Viewer Rating or VR for short, is a point system in the Starsky and Hutch Game. The aim of the game is to achieve the primary episode objective before your Viewer Rating falls to zero. 
During the episodes the player will get a starting viewer rating. The VR will fall at a constant rate unless you keep viewers interested with exceptional driving and shooting skills, poor shooting and driving will cause the VR to drop dramatically.. If the VR falls to zero, then the game ends and the episode will be lost. The amount of VR left at the end of the Episode will determine what type of Police Badge is awarded. When two players are playing co-operatively, they share the same VR
There are two types of VR, Positive and Negative
=== +Positive VR ===
Positive VR will make your Viewer Rating go up. It can be obtained in a number of ways, the most common and easier way to grab it would be to drive through or shoot one of the VR power-ups. Another way is to shoot at a vehicle, getting a Critical Shot will make your VR go up even higher. You can also obtain it when performing certain driving stunts. Some of these tricks can be pulled off at any time, while others rely on quick judgement and using the environment around you. If you throw the car around corners into a power slide, take off into the air over a jump, drive on two-wheels or shave closely past civilian traffic then you’ll earn a VR bonus. Smashing through street furniture also provides positive VR.
=== -Negative VR ===
Negative VR is obtained with poor driving and actions. Look out for colliding with civilian vehicles, driving too close to pedestrians,or bumping into walls and other parts of the city. Also, getting your car shot will reduce your VR significantly as well as making it harder to control. Bay City is already a dangerous place, it’s your job to make it safer, not to add to the danger!
Tip: the VR countdown can be stopped for a short amount of time by using the Siren Powerup.Category:Starsky and Hutch Game
