Soul Calibur is fantastic. Jet Grind Radio is innovative. Metropolis Street Racer is addictive. However, looking back now that the DC is fading away, MDK2 is the system's best game.
Why didn't more people buy it?
The visuals are unmatched in console gaming. Even the PS2 version of MDK2 is graphically inferior. The sequence where Kurt must glide from platform to platform is absolutely jaw-dropping...and that's on the FIRST LEVEL. The alien city of Swizzle Firma looks like it was taken straight out of The Fifth Element -- vehicles buzz everywhere with no looping or random placement. Everything, from the glowing tip of Max's cigar to Shwang Shwing's snail-like spacecraft, is rendered with meticulous attention to detail and loving care.
Forget Gunbird 2 and Bangai-O. Good games in their own right, yes, but they can't compare to MDK2's challenge. This is the Ultimate Hardcore Game. Climbing the tower with Max's jetpack on level 8 or diffusing the bombs as Doc Hawkins on level 6 will take any gamer a loooong time to complete. But the game always rewards your efforts by taking you to another fantastic environment and presenting a task that is guaranteed to raise your blood pressure. The feeling of victory and accomplishment when successfully navigating these challenges is what gaming is all about.
As games become more mainstream, they are becoming easier in order to recruit more fans. A major tip of the hat to BioWare for crafting the first visually stunning 3D game that retains the challenge of 2D games of the past. The PS2 version of MDK2 contains helpful hints (like Big Red Arrows saying SHOOT HERE) that make the game less than what it's intended to be -- really a shame.
The ONLY negative comment I have about MDK2 is that the levels with Kurt are slightly more creative and fun than the Max and Doc levels. I think that if MDK2 had been 10 levels of Kurt, it would have easily been my Favorite Game of All Time. Still, the Top Three isn't bad....control, visuals, audio, even the ludicrous story are all some of the best in the industry.
MDK2 is a gorgeous, genius mix of reflex-driven action and brain-numbing puzzles that no gamer should pass up.

Let's get one thing straight: This game is HARD! But it is also a great deal of fun! There are three playable characters, each of whom has their own special abilities and characteristics. The play control is very solid, and the graphics are absolutely astounding. Add in a killer sound track, and you have one heck of a game. The ONLY thing that keeps ths game from a 5-star rating is it's devilishly hard difficulty level. There are several moments when you have to make precision jumps, land near-impossible shots, and survive without any power-ups or health items. Luckily, there are check points spread liberally throughout each level that allow you to save your progress. [With a good price], this game is a STEAL that should find its place in EVERY adventure-lover's library!

What can I say? This is perhaps the hardest game out there. I am at just about a quarter through level 8. Though the game is hard as he[ck], checkpoints far apart in each level, sleepless nights,thinking of killing all at interplay for the hardness of this game, it's still fun. If you do buy this game seriously, prepare to be hooked. It makes you want to finish. Sure it's challenging(maybe a tad too much:), but graphics, gameplay replay value ( well not much,1 time around will be enough for me), humor make it entertaining. Keeps my mind off 11/1/00 Half-Life for Dreamcast! Happy sniping, and strafing! BTW, you might want to goto IGN.Com and use the MKD2 walkthrough! It helps!

The graphics are smooth and intense. The controls, even though initially confusing, are pretty good. I've gotten pretty far in this game as well (8 out of 10 levels completed) after playing many, many hours on this game.
Sound good, right? Wrong! The difficulty of the Dreamcast version is terrible. I had been in the console/computer game business a while back, and one of the main flaws I noticed is that computer game developers are hardcore gamers, developing games for hardcore gamers. This is a classic example. ...
Given enough time, many people could pass this game. However, there are limits. After all, it's just a game, and should only take a maximum 100 hours to complete. This is well beyond the 100 hours.
Unless you live and breathe video games and you find ninety-nine percent of all games too easy, stick to another game. I cannot stress this enough! It is nearly impossible to complete for any normal person!
