    I think this game rocks and BTW @ the other "anonymous" poster who rates this game a 4. With at least 2 references to "I heard" what makes you qualified to give such a score? so you played the demo and didn't like it that much, fine but you cannot give a bad score based on something you haven't even played more than the tutorial. Thats like looking at a car on a lot and just sitting in the seat and saying it drove like crap..Yet another instance of the inexperienced professional in their basement waiting for mom to cook their supper.… Expand

    A truly terrific game. If you love high energy action, this is the game for you - a great disaster setting, fresh lead characters and great combat make this a better game than Gears in a lot of ways. I also liked the fact that the moral decisions you make in the game don't have a clear good or bad outcome - really makes a difference, especially if you're playing with another human being and not the AI.… Expand

    Army of two is a really good game. I got it a few days ago and have beat it about 4 times. The story line is a bit on the weird side, bit a great game overall. Its a blast to play with a friend or sibling,and I like the custom masks and the different difficulty settings for each character, letting newbies play with professionals. Controls were pretty confusing, but I got used to them.

    Great game the two player is awsome if you get the game with some one. The story is great and changing your mask is funny. The only downside is you have to play with some one which can be annoying

    Truly a treat cover-to-cover shooter. I feel very strongly that many critics like gamepro and gamespy are massively underating this game. The graphics are amazing as you watch building and planes crash to the ground around you. The gunplay is fluid and satifying. To make it better the weapon customization is one of the best I've ever seen in a game. Overall this game is incredbly fun, addicting and in my opinion not getting the credit it deserves from some critics.… Collapse

    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

    excellent game here, very very good campaign that is even better to play through in coop. i actually preffered the campaign to gears 3's. Theres lots of neat game-play ideas that really work, i don't really have any complaints regarding the sp, i must have played it right through 4 or 5 times. If you like games like gears of war, you will no doubt love this. I played through this first then i played through the original game and i thought this was miles better, tho some disagree. I thought the multiplayer was very decent too, apart from that i didnt stick it out and continue playing it for as long as i have done with other games like gears or cod. brilliant effort and i hope they do a sequel.… Expand

    i think it is good i like how it is in the 1st person view also i like how u can add attachment to your weapons i really do not like how it is on co-op. i wish that on co-op that u and your friends/friend can face each other one be on the enemies side and one be on the good side

    A supremely good game that has the ability to be a game without selling itself out with being overloaded with faults or quizzical motives. Though as a person who loves both guns and customization, I found myself in the menus more then I was in a game, simply because the customization is fun to mess around with. Me and my friend were able to have fun with this and enjoy quality time together.

    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.
