Okay, now that you have had your fill of Wolfenstein 3D, Doom and Doom II, and the best of them all, Quake, whats left? Well, if your expectations are high and they should be if you are an avid gamer theres much better to come. We are not talking about Pod, the MMX game from Ubisoft here. What is new on the block is MDK, the amazing new game from Playmates Interactive Entertainment. Now you know what you had missed so far.
Space. You had action, you had realistic movement and motion and realistic screams to boot, but no space. The player moved along dark, gloomy tunnels and pathways, with probably just an occasional glimpse of the sky. No longer. MDK, the strangely named game features lots of space for a change.
The makers claim that MDK completely redefines and sets the new standard for a true action PC gaming experience! Unlike any PC CD-ROM title currently on the market, MDK combines the elements of stealth, ambush, program intelligence, stunning futuristic graphics and a wide open playing environment never before seen. Not to mention some of the whackiest commentary ever!
MDK features one of the largest playing environments ever created where the action is no longer limited to cramped tunnels and dark corridors.
Your hero appears on the screen in exquisite detail, sleek toned body and all, and the graphics are the most detailed ever that we have seen on a PC screen so far. No wonder, as the makers have included support for MMX to take advantage of its enhanced multimedia instructions.
The full version features over 60 arenas of play spread out over six different mobile mining cities offering over 60 hours of game play. The demo version of the game can be downloaded from their website at http://www.playmatestoys.com. We promise that you will be struck by the extremely fluid and uninterrupted gameplay as you explore everything from the tallest city rooftops to the darkest city streets.
Of course, such quality means your PC will be under heavy stress. Our test 133MHz was barely adequate, said its self-testing utility. So theres another reason to plump for that P166 MHz, or wait another three months for a true-blooded MMX!
