tsfreak Review of MDK 2: Armageddon

MDK 2: Armageddon (2000 Video Game)

One of the best action games of the last decade.

[23 January 2004]

Featuring an unique gameplay system, and goofy humour, MDK 2, the sequel to 1997's MDK (Murder Death Kill), definitely carries the player through hours of great fun. Starting out as Kurt Hectic, dr Hawkins' janitor, armed with a minigun and a sniper ability, you mindlessly shoot your way throughout the level, only to be replaced in the second level by Max, doc's faithful six-legged canine. Now this is a nice twist...Being able to shoot with 4(four) UZI's at a time!!! O_o...Continuing the game, you eventually get to play as dr Hawkins himself, this parts being the most intelligent ones of the game, also bringing a nice twist to the otherwise basic "kill 'em all" gameplay.("An atomic toaster! By Jove, now we're cooking!!!") From here on, it's all up to you. Saving the world from the mean Shwing Shwang and his hordes of interesting designed (but otherwise stupid) aliens, dodging asteroids while traveling in a torpedo, makin' atomic toast, or simply sniping those goddamn shooting orbs, whatever you do, this game manages to keep your interest up. Definitely, 9 out of 10 stars.
