You employer aboard stars to notice something wrong. His ever monitoring ship has picked up something strange on the Earth's surface. An alien minecrawler has landed on sector 8675309. For Kurt you have the normal firing mode and a zoomed in mode which slows down your speed and response. He is good at jumping and also has a semi-parachute that he can use to help control his descent.
Max moves very fast and is an average jumper.
When you use the jets the camera moves to a perfect position making controlling both speed and direction a breeze. Dr. Hawkins has very poor jumping and speed, but he is the guy that must do all the jumping making his character very challenging but fun character to use. Overall it is very easy to control and it is also very easy to access all the characters items easy and on the run. The gameplay in MDK 2 is like a trip back to the NES with action games like Contra and the many other similar games on the console. All the enemies are large and have an innovative attack system.
