Rating: 4 stars
Summary: Quirky and fun
Review: Play as Kurt, and you play a Half-Life/Metal Gear Solid hybrid. Play as Max, and live as Rambo. Play as Doc Hawkins and...be a guy with Einsteinian hair and wierd weapons. But no matter which character you're currently playing as, you'll have good solid fun in a graphically remarkable enviornment. Buy it!

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Distinctive style; classic gameplay
Review: The first MDK introduced three innovations: the sniper view, the third-person shooter, and Shiny's gorgeous and imaginative alien cathederal-like spaces. Today the first two are relatively common, but the last still stands out as a memorable style in a crowded genre. Now MDK's back and this unique world is taken to even more breathtaking levels.

The gameplay for the main character, Kurt, is much as in the first: shooting, jumping, sniping and sneaking. But two more characters from the first MDK--a robot dog and a scientist--are back as playable roles, with very different gameplay characteristics. The main job of the scientist is to try combinations of weapons that may be even more powerful, while the dog's four arms (don't ask) make it virtual tank on legs.

As usual it's fun and sometimes even silly, a great change from shooters such as Quake that take themselves unbearably seriously. But for me, the best part is that it just looks so fantastic. Sometimes after killing all the baddies, I just romp around the massive spaces, feasting my eyes on the arching alien curves, luminescint textures and lighting, and layers of smokey transparencies. If you're sick of corridors and dungeons, the lofty heights and wide-open spaces of MDK2 are welcome relief. My only gripe: the weapons are pretty much unchanged from the original, and there's no rocket launcher!

Rating: 3 stars
Summary: The demo is better than the game
Review: The graphics are amazing, and the concept is great. But there is just too much jumping around. It's very annoying. Many of the levels would be impossible without repeated game saving. The demo is better than the game itself because there's only a modicum of jumping.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: Similar to the first one, but more entertaining
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.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Awesome game
Review: This game was truly awesome. I enjoyed the sniper mode the most, of course. I had trouble in sponts with some of the puzzles, I wasn't sure what to do or where to go. Luckily, there's lots of walk-thrus out of the web that got me through the rough spots. Thanks! Definitely recommended. If you like shoot up the monster type games.

Rating: 5 stars
