Iconic. Relentless. Classic.

User Rating: 8.5 | MDK PC
There are few words which can amply describe the sheer 'old-school' excellence of MDK. Upon first glance it appears an outdated, avaunt-guard oddball from the nineties. However, that would be all too dismissive of one of the greatest PC games ever made whilst they were still in their relative infancy.

I will not lie, the die-hard loyalty shown by the majority of MDK's fans stems from sentimentality rather than critique. Yet this does not, in any way, subtract from the genuine excellence of the game. What was great over a decade ago is still great today, and despite the passage of time and the advancement of gaming as a whole, this revolutionary game has lost none of its charm or original brilliance.

Saving the world from obnoxious aliens using chain guns, sniping and various assortments of atomic and other less-than-sane weaponry; the game takes an overworked genre, gives it an original flair, and propels it to new levels of brilliance.

Donning the eponymous black coil suit (the greatest outfit ever?) and free-falling into a dystopian world to do battle with evil incarnate packs in all the frustration, craziness, and the thrills conceivable.

Murder Death Kill just never gets old!

Utter Classic.
