BioWare's bizarre adventure game sees new love
BioWare's semi-obscure and absurd adventure game MDK 2 (Murder Death Kill) is getting a revival later this year on the Wii and later, PC.
The PC version and its Interplay-developed prequel were re-released on GOG.com years ago, but fans will see it in upgraded HD format on developer Beamdog's digital distribution platform (and hopefully others later). The game should be in good hands as members of the original team are still kicking around there.
“It is a great pleasure to announce that we are returning to the adventures of Kurt Hectic, Dr. Hawkins and the 6-legged gun-toting robotic dog Max,” said Hervé Caen, CEO of Interplay.
“MDK2 was a great title to work on and we're happy to have some of the original team working on these new versions,” seconded Trent Oster, co-Founder of Beamdog.
The Wii edition will launch this winter, with the PC version to follow.

Agreed. I recently played this game last year. Great action, fun moments, and nice use of various characters to keep the game fresh. Love the comic style of it. Hopefully this gets the recognition it deserves for Wii-owners.

One of the greatest 3rd person action games ever made. The art direction simply brilliant. Haven't had a more memorable gaming experience since.
