Good co-op game, a little repetitive and bland

In Army of Two: The 40th Day, you take control of Rios and Salem on a journey to escape Shanghai. On your journey you will have to make several moral decisions to advance through the levels. The outcome of each decision is played out through a short motion comic.
The controls are tight and responsive and the graphics are up to par with current generation titles though nothing really spectacular.
After shooting enemies, the death cinematic are a little anticlimactic compared to other third person shooter’s.
The co-op segments feel forced and some feel really unnecessary. There are several places where the co-op segment could be removed with the addition of a jump button. And why do you need both characters to open a door that one could pass through faster.
The level design is a bit better than the first game. However the levels are still really linear but they feel a little more open than the first game.
In single player, your partner’s AI has been improved from the first game and he will no longer drag you into the middle of a fire fight to heal you.
The first game was a mess of glitches that at times resulted in your character begin trapped inside of objects and the like. The second AOT has a much higher level of polish and game breaking glitches seem to be nonexistent.
Overall, Army of Two: The 40th Day is a solid third person shooter and a good co-op game if not a little repetitive and bland.

Worse than the first

Cameras are awkward, frequently obstructive

Controls are jittery, layout on paddle non-sensible

Unbalanced game play, difficulty spikes and crests inexplicably

In-game cut scenes cannot be skipped

Customization options often border absurdist or poor in quality

Sound is grating

Reviving your partner often involves an obligatory "grab, drag, pause and turn" before actually beginning the healing process.

Ludicrous AI spawns

Best played with the dumb-as-a-brick AI partner; a real one is a sure fire way to get into a fistfight that night.

The action pace is good, the amount of weapons and upgrading is fun. But weapons do not feel real when shooting, a la MW2. Enemy AI, is dumb, you can stand next to them, and they would not see or notice you. thats dumb. Every weapon feels the same when shooting. I was hoping that online was good, but it ain't. graphics, get bad and ugly.

Weak attempt to enhance Ao2

It appears the creators decided to drastically alter the playability of this new sequel.

- Camera angles are over the shoulder now, instead of having a 360 degree vantage point. Easy to get camera stuck into a wall when evading enemy fire. Easy for enemy to kill you, even if you can't see them.

- Gave blind fire a more realistic mechanic, no longer can get cross hairs and also the shots are more sweeping.

- Allow weapon modification whenever not in combat - Good. Locking many upgrades, even with sufficient funds and buying lower upgrades - BAD!!!!

- They did install some new group decision mechanics which alters money and which route the players take. (assassinating contacts, etc.) This is an ok attempt to change things up.

This gets a weak rating, as I would much rather go back to normal Ao2.

Not Impressed

I couldnt get into this game. The first one was alright, but looking back, I cant even remember the story of it so it must not have been that fantastic. Games like Metal Gear Solid will always be in your head because how deep the story is, but this series? Forgettable.

I'm going to be honest. I havent even played the game for more than an hour, but thus far? I am really un-impressed by it. Lackluster combat system, last-gen graphics, some bad voice acting all make this game a horror story for me.

In my book, this is the exact kind of game I like staying away from. Maybe some people think this kind of game is acceptable these days but I dont. These days, video games can offer a lot more than just mindless shooting and stabbing with some crazy random jubmled story. Just look at games like Heavy Rain or Drakes Fortune. Both prime examples of great story and gameplay.

So as I see it? This game isn't even worth the slot it uses up when you rent it. You could definitly have something better in it. I would reccommend this to nobody.

this game is good but not the best.i have this game and the first but when i got this one i almost beat it in 2 hours!it has a very short story line but interesting.Online is like eating a ice cream cone compared to MW2.Online is 2 on 2 on 2 on 2 on 2.[maybe a little more].So i say one of the best things about this game is you can create a mask for the game.So over all, i would say you should rent this game before buying it.

Jimmytang34's Review (AO2: Fortyth Day)

posted by jimmytang34 (KENOSHA, WI) Mar 11, 2013

I rated the game an 8. My reason for rating it an 8, is because to me, I liked the game. This is what I liked about the game; it had great action, Co-op desisions and consequences were added, a good amount of realism was added, Humor came into play from time to time, weapon customization, and the options to disrespect, and respect your co-partner. There were some specifics about the game I didn't like. The Weapon Customization was great, It's just I didn't like the way that most of the attachments didn't really matter. The Action was great, but from time to time. I felt like I was doing the same thing over and over again. I began to lose interest in the game after I reached a certain point. But Overall, I like this game.

Enjoyable coop. Graphically interesting in regard to its storyline. Solo AI a bit dumb. Repetitive enemies. If you want military-based coop, outstanding. If you prefer a sandbox, no. Nothing surprising. Nothing too disappointing.

The game a suprisingly dull story with no real twist and nothing to really keep me going....but this is all one great, extremely addictive co-op game....the combat is enough to keep you going...but don't look here for a good story.

Army of Two Review...

I downloaded a demo of this game thought the demo was pretty rad. Put it on my Que, I was in for a surprise the originiality of gameplay. Customizing real time weaponry. Taking screw drivers and soda cans for silencers and bayonets. Scraps of junk for a gun stock. Millons of Dollars to Loot and unlock cool Weapons. and customizables. Game play i say is about a 8 out of 10 Im playing this for the first time on contractor. I have spent countless hours trying to get past levels where The big MOFO with the MINIGUN And FULL ARMOR come out in shanghai streets. I tried ordering rios to make a distraction with a mounted gun while i try to flank. but he hopps off the gun to catch up to me automatically and gets ripped a new one and i have from there 15 20 seconds to save him before I must restart. Every time. Hours of time spent. Im deffinently putting this game back on my Que I love the Challenge the story is pretty long and there are alot of unlockables just in single player. IM going to have to check out the multiplayer side of this game online.... see you gamers on the stixx

This game is quite fun in my opinion. Campaign is wide scale. The mult player is hard and you need skills to stick close to partner and help them out. It is a challenging game at the end.

Like the title says, the 40th day is worse than the first one. They ruined so many things in this game. It shouldn't be so difficult if I am on the easiest difficulty. It should take me 20 shots in the head for me to die if I am on the easiest difficulty. But it seems like I die in a few hits and that's it. Slow loading times as well (counting for every time I die). Poor game. Doesn't even come close to the first one. Didn't even finish this horrible game.

This is definitely better than the 1st one. I love how they implented new things like the 'mock surrender' & being able to tag your targets. You're able to customize your weapons anytime without having to wait for a screen to come up that allows you to as in the 1st one. I also really like how sometimes you have to make a decision that has consequences & they actually go into comic book mode to show you how your decision played out. I'm about halfway thru so far & LOVING it...

This game was one of those games where its starts off fun, but ends up getting boring quick. So if you want one of those games where you pretty much do the same thing over and over again, this is your game.
