A high prized piece of modern art, unfortunately forgotten and now ignored, try it if you find it in a bargain bin

User Rating: 8.2 | MDK 2 PC

Again, I'm tempted to review an older classic of mine - and MDK 2 provided me an extremely fun challenge, and its well implemented sense of humor remains unique for the genre - so unique considering the harder challenge than your normal average action game. The sense of epic sci-fi scope is not tampered down despite this light humor mainly incorporated throughout various cutscenes, very well done in a vivid cartoony fashion. The gameplay mechanics, good enough, could have been magical if not handicapped from time to time by an occasional glitch or control problems ( I'm told the Dreamcast version runs smoother ). Even more impressive are the graphics, an outstanding combination of thoughtful design and cartoony meshes. I say it for a very few games, and that one figures in my short list of polished designs of modern art to interact with. If you like all forms of cartoony artistry like comic books, sci-fi, fantasy, and incorporated into a credible design of varied levels, MDK 2 provides a unique experience. Also, I did not find a similar game delivering such a successful combo of drama scope AND humor, by the exception of No One Lives Forever of course. Yes, the most ''annoying flaw'' is the good amount of platforming, jumping, and some jump puzzles ( not all ) can be excruciating .....maybe unacceptable for many gamers by today's standards, but still a gameplay feature widely ( and intentionally )coded in action games at that time. All in all too hardcore for the casual gamer, but a modern gem this rare should have been more carefully studied, isn't it ?
