When a disaster of epic proportions strikes Shanghai, China, Rios and Salem find themselves right in the middle of it all—the wrong place, the wrong time, but the right team. A carefully orchestrated series of mysterious catastrophes is dragging Shanghai to the brink of ruin, and now the Army of Two must fight their way through ravaged city districts as they try to beat the odds and uncover the secret of the 40th Day. ARMY OF TWO: THE 40th DAY features a bigger playbook of new co-op moves that either player can use at any time, opening up new strategies and countless choices for both players. The result is a bigger, better, more organic and immersive co-op experience that lets gamers put their best two-man tactics to use whenever and wherever they want.
The single player campaign offers 4-6 hours of play, plus online play; not enough. The story is weak. The graphics aren't up to par for current gen systems but the artstyle is okay. The loadtimes aren't too long. The music is okay, the voice over's are very well acted but the sound effects are cheap. The controls work well and offer some innovation. Ther are barely any camera issues. Clearly, this game was rushed and isn't that fun to play. (6.5)
What made the first game so good is mostly gone in this one. The coop mode is only good online. The single player campaign is good if you're quick with the npc commands. All in all a decent rent. Don't buy unless you really like the franchise.
This game was horrible. The whole game play was not very well done. I found the game was only somewhat enjoyable when playing online. This game is not one I'd recommend.
