MDK 2 (PC)

There is no justice in the world, really there isn't. The original MDK should have sold bucket loads, it had action, humour and superb graphics all rolled into one very nice game. However the PC owners decided it was too different to them and avoided it like a person with arachnophobia would avoid spiders. Also First Person Shooters owe quite a bit to the original MDK because it came up with the first Sniper Scope, which has now spawned itself into nearly every FPS game out on the market today. Despite not making much money a sequel was made, this time not by Shiny but Bioware. So does it improve on the original or does it shame itself into the ground? ...  Read the complete review

Help! I've gone back in time to when games were actually challenging! Just kidding, but playing MDK2 just might make you think that you had been sucked back to the days when Contra and Mega Man were still the hottest games around. I'm an old school gamer, and seeing a game like MDK2 is really refreshing and nostalgic. It's a difficult game, and if you don't like being frustrated with a game (in other words, if you're a baby), then you shouldn't buy this game. Not yet anyway. I'm just saying that you should borrow it from a friend or find some other way of playing it without buying it, until you actually get a feel for the game. ...  Read the complete review

MDK 2 is brilliant. I have played Half-Life a lot and I compare this as being Half-life in third-person minus the hype and multiplayer. The storyline is brilliant and it is not too hard to play. Kurt's sniper scope is excellent and probably the best I've seen yet in a game. The three different characters make the game feel like three games as you can play all out action(Max the dog), mainly puzzles (Doc) or a mix of the two (Kurt). The levels are in the order Kurt, Max, Doc and are long enough to justify a purchase. As well it is quite cheap now so I would recommend buying it to anyone. ...  Read the complete review

In MDK 2 you control 3 characters and help them save the earth - Kurt (the character from MDK) Dr. Hawkins (who helped Kurt), and Max the 6 armed dog built by the good Dr. This is fast and furious puzzle solving at its best. None of the puzzles are that hard, but this also means that you don't end up in the situation where you are wandering about trying to work out what to do. You have to play in different styles with the different characters, Kurt is best at long range especially with his Sniper scope. Max is armed to the teeth with up to 6 guns at once, and the Dr uses more cunning ploys to beat his enemies. The graphics are superb and ...  Read the complete review

This game isn't a far cry from the first MDK. There are some improvements however, such as the gameplay. Its easy to move around and use all the functions. And for those with a sick sense of humour this game is quite funny to play and see what happens. There are tons of new weapons and gadgets to find. If you liked the first MDK this wouldn't be a bad one to checkout. If you liked MDK1 you would love this one! Brad ...  Read the complete review
