Four Fat Chicks

The frenetic pace and intense (sometimes frustrating) challenges of the 10 levels is absorbing, graphically most satisfying, quite varied and, most of all, funny.

Game Fan

The graphics are amazing, the movies are great and the controls are simply fantastic -- "MDK 2" could be the front-runner for PC game of the year.

Game Over Online

If you like to have fun playing games, and even if you like to laugh, there are a few parts in MDK 2 that are simply FUNNY, not the normal supposed-to-be-funny crap that you see in a lot of games, but clever humour, something that is generally very rare.

The game draws the player into a highly entertaining storyline with fun characters, beautiful graphics, and an addictive interactive experience.

Eurogamer

Reinvigorate your childhood fantasies of living in a cartoon and pick up MDK2 - there ain't much better in the genre.

GamePro

"MDK2"'s style of gameplay doesn't lend itself well to multiplay, so the replay value is slim, but the single-player experience is guaranteed to suck hours away from your life.

PC Gamer

A top-notch action-arcade game with a sly, dry sense of humor. [Sept 2000, p.93]

Daily Radar

A goofy, amusing third-person game that captures the essence of the original and builds on it, managing to stay true to the first while breaking free and providing plenty of fresh adventure.

Antagonist

"MDK2" may take you a while to finish. A long while. The game is difficult, to say the least.

FiringSquad

Though the game progression is linear, replayability exists in running through the game again just to see if you missed any of the subtle humor, and to finish the game as a different character, since each has its own ending.

Gamer's Pulse

A fun third-person shooter with some uneven gameplay issues.

All Game Guide

With an innovative interface that allows the game to switch between three distinct and unique characters and modes of gameplay, MDK 2 provided enough of a hook to keep me coming back repeatedly.

CNET Gamecenter

"MDK2" is a fine sequel to one of the silliest action fests ever.

Hot Games

The three alternating characters make the gameplay diverse enough to warrant repeat play, and will suit gamers of all persuasions.

Happy Puppy

If you're tired of the same old shoot-this-guard, find-this-key, flip-this-switch gameplay, give "MDK2" a shot -- you won't be disappointed.

With an innovative interface that allows the game to switch between three distinct and unique characters and modes of gameplay, "MDK 2" provided enough of a hook to keep me coming back repeatedly.

Computer Games Magazine

Offbeat humor, spectacular graphics, and excellent gameplay are the high points, it’s just a shame the journey through the bizarre world of MDK is over so soon.

GameSpot

May be slightly short, but it makes up for it by being relentlessly ingenious.

Adrenaline Vault

It's got great non-stop action with pretty visuals and its three new playable characters offer a unique gameplay experience, despite its general brevity.

Evil Avatar

Unfortunately, the puzzles and obstacles become less fun and more annoying the further you get into the game leaving you spending more time on them and less time enjoying the good aspects of the game.

Kurt Hectic is back with an even better game, this offers a diverse set of gameplay that is quite unique for the fps gamestyles. It creates an addictive and appealing story that is interesting and quite commical.

Zizzy B gave it a10:
Best game I ever played and the last of the "hard" games - before developers made them a walk in the park. This includes Halo on Legendary which, although fun, was as easy as taking candy from a Grunt. Just sayin' You want to test yourself? Buy, play and finish this game w/o resorting to online hints and walk-throughs. I dare ya. I double dare ya. Heck, I even triple dare ya. You'll be glad you did. GREAT GAME!

Philip D gave it a10:
Beautiful game. First PC game I ever owned, brings back memories of that warm back kitchen, the smell of my brand new super pro amd 1 ghz, Ati Radeon-powered super computer. I was secretly scared of this game, yet loved it for its atmosphere. The huge levels, distant sniper shots and hilarious cutscenes make this a fabulous games... and who can forget the brilliant doors you have to shoot to open? Classic, zangy and unique.
