MDK 2 is a platform action game for the PlayStation 2 featuring protagonist Kurt Hectic, who is joined by Dr. Hawkins and his robotic dog Max. Players control each character across distinct levels, utilizing unique abilities: Kurt focuses on stealth and sniping, Dr. Hawkins employs cunning with household gadgets, and Max unleashes chaos with his heavy weaponry to combat alien threats and reclaim Earth.
Kurt Hectic in his snazzy suit with ribbon chute is back to save the universe. This time he is teamed with the genius Dr. Hawkins and the 6-legged gun-toting robotic dog, Max. Together they must out-sneak, out-blast and out-think their enemies as they attempt to reclaim the Earth from a vile alien menace.
All three characters - Kurt, Doctor Hawkins and Max are playable, each has his own levels, powers and items and a completely different gameplay focus. Kurt is about stealth and sniping, the Doctor has a few direct attacks but also has the ability to create items and effects out of simple household objects, while Max is a cigar smoking, quad gun toting demolition squad of a dog.
