Rating: Summary: Interesting game, but relies too much on jumping puzzles. Review: For the most part, this is an okay game. The characters can be funny at times, and the weapons are kind of cool. One major problem is that it's not clear how you're supposed to get past certain parts of the game. You can sit there shooting away at everything and not know what you're really supposed to be doing.The reason I gave this one star (and would have given it even less if I could) is because this game relies heavily on jumping puzzles. I hate games that require me to jump up and up and up, then punish me severely for missing a single jump. I'd have been happier if they had just put more bad guys in the levels and used some other sort of puzzles.
Rating: Summary: I highly recommend this game Review: I am about 80% of the way through the game and I love it! This game offers a lot of things that others don't: a combination of shoot-em-up, logical thinking, coordination skill, and humor. I find the alternating use of the three characters refreshing and eliminates getting tired of the same-old action level-after-level. I am a Doom/Quake/Unreal Tournament player and enjoy those for the player vs player action, but I find that playing this game by myself is very entertaining. I plan on tracking down the original game and playing it when I'm done with this. Although rated Teen, the violence is non-graphic (more comic-book like) and is more of a thinking game than a run-and-gun. My kids enjoy this game as well (ages 12 and 8).
Rating: Summary: Very Fun Review: I definently love this game because it's action and a shooting game. I love to play Max,(the dog) because he can shoot with 4 guns at the same time. and at someplaces there aer unlimited uri guns. I hope everyone tries this great game!
Rating: Summary: MDK2 is a real step up. Review: I don't usually play games but MDK was one that caught my eye a while ago. It's tounge and cheek humour was brilliant and so were the graphics. This continues in MDK2. It's absolutely superb now that you can play as three characters, and with all those levels... Also it runs absolutely perfectly on my p2 366. The first MDK was well made and so is this one, good on Shiny for doing a great job. check out earth worm jim 3d for more quirky fun.
Rating: Summary: It kept blowing up Review: I would have liked to play this game but it would not cooperate. It kept crashing, crashing, crashing. I wish developers would finish a game before they release it.
Rating: Summary: There should have been more Review: I'm not going to say anything new about what's so great about this game. The three players, the weapon variety, the immense levels! The colors, the slap stick humor and the nice story line make this a game that stands out. All of this with an impossibly low system consumption. A very very impressive feat no doubt. And yet... I can't help that but notice that this game could have been so much more. I never played the original MDK so I had no real idea of what to expect other than what was given on the box. So this is what I was given to expect. The ability to "choose" (This is the keyword here) between Max, Doc or Kurt. In reality, the game alternates between the three characters (in no seemingly specific order) through out the game. It isn't actually till much later in the game that you actually do chose between the three characters. But by then it's a tad to late and you simply want the game to be over. This, in all honesty, is the major killing point for this game. It seems useless to have three characters to play when playing them is not done by choice. yeah, yeah, I know about all of the good stuff the game has, all the stuff I mentioned above but still, Gamers today want more, a whole lot more. How many of you are going to be satisfied playing Pong when you know that there is something better? This game is a cool buy but it's missing so many crucial elements. Buy only to expect this game to collect dust after a few months. Scratch that. Go to Zshops or auctions, the game will be worth it then.
Rating: Summary: Mdk2 ROCKS! Review: I've just started playing this game two days ago when I was off school sick and it's amazing! Being an owner of the first and second Mdk game I think I can say that there is a great improvement from the original... My favorite character is probably 'Max', the six-legged dog, what's cool about him is that he can carry, and fire, four guns at the same time, my favorite combinations of guns are probably 1 magnum, 2 uzis and 1 shot gun although it'll probably change when I find a Gatgun somewhere... Well at the moment I'm stuck on level 4, (well I wouldn't really say 'stuck', I've just been a bit tired of playing it that's all...). The graphics and puzzles though are stupendous and not to say the excellent quality music! This is a great game guys.., come on!!! (Buy it!)
Rating: Summary: Sweet game Review: MDK is a really cool game, the graphics are sweet. I love it. I only have some trouble sometimes with Dr.Hawkins. But other than that the game is really fun and exciting. You have to try out this one dog Max with 4 arms. Hilarious.
Rating: Summary: Slick, action packed and entertaining Review: MDK2 appears at first to be a third-person shooter with some jumping and puzzle elements thrown in to make your brain feel occasionally involved. Once you scratch the surface, however, you find that MDK is actually primarily a console-style puzzle solving/jumping game with some blast-everything-that-moves action elements thrown in. You play primarily as three different characters who each take different parts of the fairly entertaining story about alien invasion and who each have very different play styles. As "Kurt," who is wearing a specially made suit, you do a lot of alien blasting with a machine gun and you use his jump parachute and very cool sniper rifle to solve a lot of puzzles. Your first clue that it isn't a real "shooter" is the very limited variety of weapons and the ease with which you can defeat the aliens (they don't do much damage to you when they hit you, for example). As "Max," the six-legged robot dog, you do more blasting and less jumping, though there is a rather too-long jump segment involving a jet pack that constantly requires refueling. As "Doc", you revert to almost entirely jumping and puzzle-solving, where even the occasional combat is a puzzle-solving effort as you assemble weapons from various things you find around the station. For example, Doc's primary weapon is radioactive toast he fires from a nuclear toaster. If you are like most PC gamers (and unlike console gamers) even one jumping puzzle is one too many, and though the ones in MDK2 are frequently very clever and innovative in their design, forcing you to interact with the world in order to set up the "steps" of your jumps, they are PLENTIFUL and can get very irritating the 100th time you've fallen off a steel girder because you couldn't peg a landing on just the right pixel. The game earns forgiveness points, though, for having a very handy quicksave/quickload hotkey setup, so you can quicksave your game prior to each jump and quickload after each failure without too much effort. But, does a gamer really need to be subjected to that sort of activity? Nonetheless, the game isn't overly challenging, it lets you save anywhere you like, it sports a simple interface allowing keyboard or joystick control with customization, and its comic book-inspired visual style, hip music and good sound effects create a game world that's interesting and entertaining to play in. At its best, MDK2 lets you vent frustrations as you run and blast critters, gives you a sense of accomplishment as you solve a puzzle or set of jumps, and entertains you with a tongue-in-cheek back story furthered by in-engine cutscenes with decent voice acting. At its worst, however, MDK2 is a tedious, frustrating console jumper disguised in a PC CDROM. If lots of jumping puzzles and fairly light "action" appeal to you, this game may be right for you.
Rating: Summary: Good But Not Great Review: MDK2 is better than the first because you can play with more charecters. This game is funny, but hard. I got stuck on 2 levels and had to use a cheat to get to the next level. The proffesur is the most harddest one, but I made it. It took me along time to beat this game. If u like thinking games this is for u. The only 1 thing I dont know in this game, is what the hell does MDK stands for? If u know please righ me, my E-Mail is: superstas3000hotmail.com Oh and if you are stuck, then go to: www.cheatplanet.com where there is a lot of cheats. (Thats where I got the cheats from) I hope this was helpful, and remember if u know what MDK stands for then right me please. Thanks. :-)
