In MDK2 (available for the PC and for the Dreamcast) you alternately play as a superhero janitor, a six legged gun-toting dog and an "eccentric" scientist as they battle the alien horde, headed by a shades-wearing, 100-foot-tall creature who purrs "Who's your daddy?" as he flicks you into the void with his fingertip.
The Return of the Wacky Shooter

The goal of the modern PC shooter seems to be to
give the user the feeling of what it's really like to go
on a killing spree. With the success of Quake and
its 3-D engine, which lets players roam through a
monochromatic universe killing soldiers, cartoony
shooters like Duke Nukem 3D and Blood
disappeared. Since then, only kid-oriented fare such
as Earthworm Jim 3D and Rayman 2 has had the
silly touch. The current state of games is
represented by Soldier of Fortune, where you can
shoot a man in the hand, head or crotch, and Tomb
Raider 4, where elegant shadowing effects are as
impressive as the heroine's outsize bust. But now
Interplay brings us Bioware's MDK2, a very silly
shooter for adults.
