   This game is so much underrated, its sadning. Army of Two: The 40th Day is my favorite shooter and one of my favorite game ever. I really loved the first game, put this second installment is a great improvement Army of Two. The disaster setting is great and the gameplay is just fantastic and thrilling, and it controls very well. The characters are interesting, fleshy, and funny at times. I kinda miss the first game's humour. Playing this game alone is amazing, put playing with a friend is a real blast, the best fun I had playing a videogame!… Expand

   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. Rent this game or buy it used for cheap if you really want to play it. Otherwise, avoid it.… Expand

   Note: I played this co-op via local split screen. First off, I didn't rent this game for the story, so its quality wasn't important. That said I found myself caring so little about the characters in the game that I at times wished I could just skip the cutscenes. Skipable cutscenes would have also helped since you had to rewatch them every time you played a stage again after dieing. The gameplay is a mix of every third person shooter on the market. Problem is, while it borrows from everyone, it doesn't do anything particularily better or even at times as well. The mapping of the "A" button is broken. You will find yourself vaulting across cover more often than locking in behind it. Worst of all, the "revive" mechanic is mapped to the same button. I can't even count the number of times I would start sprinting (also mapped to the "A" button) instead of reviving my partner. Also, you don't crouch when you're reviving your friend, so expect to die many times because you're both stuck in an animation while being fired on. Bosses in the game are typically easier than the common enemies. Every one is the exact same stradegy, one person fires from the front (in cover) and gets all the agro on him while the other player moves to the back and kills the boss. While the weapon customization is cool I never felt like I was actually making my gun any better (just marginally). Furthermore, player two gets completely thrown under the bus. If you don't beat the game in one sitting the next time you load your game player two's guns will be completely gone (along with everything back to being locked). While that angered me I settled back down assuming that I could just reunlock everything (getting money is 2X as easy compared to the first game), but no, for the rest of the game only player 1 unlocked weapons. Overall it just left a bad taste in both of our mouths, and since the story wasn't at all involving we quickly decided to go do something else. Army of Two: 40th Day is a fun rent for an evening of gaming, but beyond that its a game that is actually inferior in every way to its predecessor.… Expand
