Heroes and Humor

Unique Heroes

The characters are really distinct. Kurt has his patented sniper mode and tries to take enemies from a distance. Even up close, going into sniper and nailing something in the head usually means death to your foe. More than once I saw Greg start a fight normally then switch to sniper mode for a second, get a shot off to get rid of his current target then switch. In regular combat, all the characters have auto-aim to a certain extent. Kurt's is fairly generous as he has only a fairly weak machine-gun style weapon as his primary, while Max's is really tight. Of course, that's all for balance - even with his limited auto-aim, Max mows down everything in his path like the Wolf when faced with a straw house. How does he do it? How about 4 guns, one in each hand! You can mix and match too. Take any combo of sub-machineguns, chainguns and other brute force weapons, load 'em up and fire away.

Dr. Hawkins

The doctor is pretty wacked out. It almost feels like a kid's game using him, as he picks up items and tries to make stuff out of them. His default 'weapon' are his hands - one left glove, one right. You put things into them and mix it up to see what you get. :) Molotov cocktail, anyone? (yes, it's in the game.) Don't worry though, he does see a bit of combat nontheless. Anyone who likes the b-movie wannabe "Little Shop of Horrors" is going to LOVE a certain scene in the game.

Naturally, this wouldn't be MDK without a little bit of humor. When Greg warped ol' Kurt over to the first boss, we were first struck by the sheer size of the creature, its blistering regular attacks, jumping ability, special attack (sending a shockwave through the ground), and odd taunt pose.

He gives you the finger!

Is that a door?
