    Not nearly as good or fun as the first game. A few times I thought I was playing Time Crisis in the arcade. The controls are very clunky. It can sometimes be an almost impossible task to pick up your partner when the same button to revive him is also the button you use to run. I seem to remember in the game trailer that you could pick off car doors and use them as shields and I also Not nearly as good or fun as the first game. A few times I thought I was playing Time Crisis in the arcade. The controls are very clunky. It can sometimes be an almost impossible task to pick up your partner when the same button to revive him is also the button you use to run. I seem to remember in the game trailer that you could pick off car doors and use them as shields and I also remember some coop sniping where one guy stands on the other guy's shoulders to snipe someone out, neither of these are in the game. The game is extremely short in gameplay time, but the game becomes extremely boring by the end of the 4th chapter til the end which causes the game to seem as if it has 8 hours of gameplay when it actually has about 3. The lack of audio options is a ridiculous oversight by the developers, you can barely hear speech in the game unless you have your speakers high enough to blow your ears out from the SFX. Due to the lack of audio options there are no subtitles in the game. For a majority of the game my friend and I had absolutely no clue what was going on in the story because we couldn't hear anything anyone said. This game was a huge letdown for me, I was very disappointed with it. One of the few redeeming qualities to the game are the opportunities to make "tough" decisions on whether to send someone to death or save them. The negative choices are hilarious. The end of the game was probably the biggest let down, probably one of the worst endings to a game that will most likely not have another sequel. With as poor as the writing and development for this game was, I really hope there isn't a sequel because regardless of how much I disliked this game, I'm sure I will be sucked into playing another piece of garbage in the story of Rios and Salem.… Expand

    Army of two : TFD is a very very fun game. The graffics are smooth and the co-op capability is immense. The custimization of the guns is insane and generally the game as a whole is worth a buy. thier isn't really a game were the review has been so short but their you go!

    My friend and I played through the entire campaign on coop. While it wasn't difficult (enemies weren't hard to kill), this game is extremely cheap. Enemies will randomly spawn (sometimes from behind), and you'll get killed without feeling a rumble on the controller. I've also died a number of times when I was stuck in cover when I didn't want to be.

    This game is fair to say the least. It tries to set up a big story by having a shadowy organization attack Hong Kong but it failed to pull me into the game.

Gun customization is back but even that becomes dull after a while. It's just a sub-par follow up to a shooter that was also sub-par to begin with.… Expand

    It was good, but it was also disappointing. The customization was a bit pointless and your choices had the impact of a rats ass. If you like Army of Two, you'll like it, but I can't recommend it.

    A surprisingly good FPS that never fails to be fun, especially with the capability of split screen. Throughout the game the player is faced with a range of decision, which are quite challenging, rewarding and down right sad. The 40th day feels more like a B movie production, though with its limited budget. Do not let this title pass under your rater.

    I did not enjoy this game. I played it solo so I do not know how the game would have felt with a second player. I did not find it fun and rather pointless. We could have gone our whole lives without ever playing this game or knowing of it.

    Army of Two: The 40th Day has taken past criticism on the chin. Salem and Rios have evolved from disagreeable meatheads into entertaining anti-heroes while the setting is now much more befitting to the gameplay. If you're looking for an intense but concentrated gaming experience, we think the masked mercs deliver. [Jan 2010, p.68]

    A disaster movie in a game package, Army of Two: The 40th Day capitalizes on its co-op play to deliver an awesome action experience that's incredibly fun to play. Co-op moments feel more natural.

    The interaction between the two main characters extends beyond the trivial buddy moves from the first game and becomes an integral part of the journey. Marry that to some satisfyingly chunky gunplay and the odd spectacular, building-levelling explosion and you have an action game that is far more fun than it has any right to be.
