MDK2 is a video game and sequel to the third-person shooter, MDK. Like the original, MDK2 features three protagonists: Kurt Hectic, an ordinary janitor and reluctant hero, Max, a mechanical six-legged dog, and Doctor Fluke Hawkins, Max's creator and all-round eccentric scientist. Unlike in the first game, the player is put in control of all three characters in turns, with each delivering significantly different gameplay and puzzle experiences (Kurt - sniping, Max - "run and gun", Dr. Hawkins - strategy).
