* DamnYouMuscleMemory: If you played the {{PS1}} version of the original ''VideoGame/{{MDK}}'' and you decide to play the {{PS2}} version of this game, you'll find that the controls were changed from the original for some reason. This can be somewhat recitified in the options menu, but even then, the controls may mess with you, especially if you played the original with the left analog stick, because it isn't at all useable here for some reason.

* Max places emphasis on raw firepower, able to wield a gun in each paw ([[MoreDakka for a total of 4 guns]]). Max's levels consist of getting from A to B, utilizing his guns for clearing rooms of enemies, broken up with a few Jetpack platforming areas. His playing style means that he is more than likely to be surrounded and attacked, but he has a much higher health bar when compared to the other two characters (200%, compared to Kurt's 100% and Hawkin's 60% health)

''[=MDK2]='' begins right where the last game left off, here reluctant Hero Kurt Hectic, a janitor employed aboard Dr. Fluke Hawkins' ship, the Jim Dandy, is sent to deal with the last minecrawler in Canada instead of enjoying his well-earned break from fighting off the last batch of Minecrawlers. After destroying it, Kurt is promptly kidnapped by a rather huge alien called Shwang Shwing. From here, the characters Kurt Hectic, Fluke Hawkins, and Hawkin's six legged, bipedal robotic dog named Max, take turns saving one another, until the last level, in which they finally confront the last boss.
