Army of Two: The 40th Day for Xbox 360 Reviews by Gamers

In comparison to the first Army of Two, it does have better graphics, but really was a let down in story and dialog.

I absolutely loved the first Army of Two, this one is good enough to play through, but nothing more. I thought the first one really brought something new and original to the table. It was a solid 3rd person shooter and I loved the sarcastic dialog and simple but strong story and characters. The missions were also better in the first one, each mission gave you a good diverse feeling and fun.

I thought I would love the sequel, but not so much. The storyline now is less entertaining and more desperately trying to be dramatic. It is kind of a bore. The great characters of Rios (Brooding big brother) and Salem (Hilarious immature hotshot) are now replaced with two overly professional and stale personalities that are nothing like how they used to be (AKA Fun)

The graphics are upgraded, but yikes, they took a severe budget cut in sound design. There is no imersion with sound, it is generic and plain, the guns seem vanilla and far off, it all seems pretty phoned in.

Missions are not nearly as diverse and fun as the first Army of Two. All missions seem the same with a few scenery changes and more unimpressive bosses making a big deal about walking in.

So to wrap up, I was let down. This was a game I was really looking forward too. I liked the first Army of Two because it might not have had a lot of frills, but was a solid shooter with a story and dialog that I could listen too over and over again laughing. It had an original feel. Now I am left with a sequel that is just trying to hard to be like everyone else and failing.

"Worst nurse ever!" "F--Ko? Who says that?"
I will miss you first Army of Two.

When i first saw a new Army of Two coming out i was excited, I loved the first game, but EA ruined it like they always do. Now the controls are almost exactly the same which is good but it doesn't feel as crisp and fluid as the first. The customization of the weapons was cool but a bit confusing when trying to decided what piece is better for your guns. The story was horrible, i had no idea what was going on until the end and even that wasn't very helpful. The Level design was cool at first but after playing this game for about 20 mins everything got very repeative and boring...OH NO! there's another building to go into that's collapsing. The mini bosses were frustrating shooting them 3-4 times with a rpg does nothing, and your partners AI is just awful...he'll drag you into incoming fire to save you dying in the process. There are a few good things they added to the series such as a targeting feature in your gps and the ability to save civilians. The wide arrange of weapons you can find and unlock was really cool. Probably the best part of the game being able to use a ton of guns. If you liked the first army of two as much as i did you'll be disappointed in this installment. Thanks EA for ruining something that could have been better. 2 out of 10
