Greatest co op shooter I’ve ever played. Great for couch co op and allows you to play with a player of any skill level due to the difficulty settings of the individual player. Unfortunately there are no audio settings in the game and dialogue can sound a bit quiet at times. Subtitles are recommended.

Army of Two: The 40th Day feels like Bad Boys meets 2012. It's essentially an interactive disaster movie because every five minutes something blows up or crumbles around you, which provides an adrenaline rush as you fight through enemies or just survive what's thrown at you. A huge improvement to the franchise, EA Montreal clearly paid attention to the first game's issues, because almost every aspect has been improved. There are still some misses, but for the most part The 40th Day is a much stronger title and lots of fun. Unlike the first game, which spanned several years and different regions of the world, The 40th Day all takes place in Shanghai over the course of a few days. Rios and Salem are back, running missions for their own private military corporation, TransWorld Operations. They take a contract that's way too easy: kill a few guards, handle a few objectives and score a large paycheck. But as they finish their mission, all hell breaks loose in Shanghai. Buildings blow up, aircraft fall from the skies -- total chaos reigns. Salem and Rios have to stay alive long enough to figure out who's behind this. Now, the basic gameplay mechanics haven't changed too much from the original. Instead, they've been augmented to feel fresher and deeper. One of the first game's most appealing elements was the option to "pimp" your gun, swapping gun barrels or stocks or even gold plating the weapon to make it more effective in battle. Unfortunately, the first game's options were shallow, but in The 40th Day they have been vastly expanded. There are loads of new paint schemes, more options to modify your weapons, and you can even change the melee attacks based on your gear. Equip a screwdriver or kitchen knife "bayonet" on your gun and you'll see just what I mean. While the customization is awesome, the secondary weapon feature is too restricted -- you're locked to one of three pistol options, which can feel too limited. Why can't you choose to equip two assault rifles and a sniper rifle if you wanted? This minor issue aside, the fact that you can customize any weapon at any time (except in the heat of battle) is a huge plus for gun fans. Supply crates add to the customization options. These are a new addition to the gameplay and they're scattered throughout each chapter. If you don't stop the enemy before they call for reinforcements, the crates lock permanently. However, move quickly and you can steal cash and weapons parts from the enemy, which provides an extra challenge. The Aggro system makes a comeback as well, but it's better. You still work together, one player firing to distract enemies while the partner creeps up and flanks them. But now, Rios and Salem have a GPS, which can tag enemies and help you find your way. Once an enemy is tagged you can see where they are, even if they duck for cover or hide behind walls. This expands your tactical options as you and your partner seek and destroy your enemies. I just wish the computerized AI partner tagged enemies more frequently; it can feel like you have to do all the work. In the first game single-player was fun but co-op and multi-player really stood out, mostly because playing with a human was so much better than the feeble AI. While playing with a human via split-screen or online is still the best way to play, your AI partner and the enemies clearly got a brain transplant, making The 40th Day much stronger as a result. Enemies use the same moves and tactics that you do.Read full review

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, and whether you’re playing by yourself or with friends, you’ll enjoy the fast paced action that doesn’t seem to slow down, even when you’re in the middle of a cutscene. The improved Aggro system (thanks to the inclusion of the GPS feature) and expanded weapons customization strengthens the tactics on the battlefield, which are much deeper than the previous title. Even multiplayer reinforces the co-op nature of the game, and its modes will keep you playing for a long time. The morality moments could have posed larger dilemmas and the AI still stumbles at times, but overall, The 40th Day is a great game to blast through. 8.5 Presentation An interactive disaster movie from start to finish, The 40th Day throws Rios and Salem in a fight for their lives as an entire city falls around them. 8.5 Graphics From the particle effects to the animations of Rios and Salem, The 40th Day is visually appealing. Texture pop-in and some camera issues hold it back from being outstanding. 8.5 Sound Voice acting is excellent once again, although there should be more dialogue during the game. Sound effects are rich and vary based on modifications to firearms, giving the sound of a warzone. 8.5 Gameplay Single player is stronger thanks to improved partner AI. Co-op is improved this time around, and just about every feature from the first game has been amended. The morality system could go farther. 8.5 Lasting Appeal Again, co-op play makes this game engaging, and with a stronger set of multiplayer modes you’ll blast through Shanghai over and over for a while. 8.5 Great OVERALL This game is available for sale in my eBay store at a good price: http://mariio128.comRead full review
This is a really fun game to play with a friend because you really do have to look out after each other to survive. If you haven't played the first army of two, it can take a little bit to get used to because the overall style of the game play is a little different then many other shooters. To me it feels like they took all the cool things from other games and put it into Army of two. All in all I would give this game an A.
My only negative comment is that I've gotten through the game way too quickly while playing the game on normal. It only takes about an hour to get through each "chapter" and there are 7 chapters. I can't say I noticed any major changes outside of the co-op sniper, the 'heavies' are beasts now, and the storyline keeps you engaged. I've enjoyed the versus battles online also. All in all, if you liked the first one, it's well worth your money.
I have to say that I have been playing non stop with my brother this game, and after getting used to the new controls and splitscreen view that is vertical instead of horizontal, the game was worth what I paid and some. ($29.00). The missions are more complex and the enemies more creative and resilient. The overall game is good. Some Cons: getting used to the new controls takes a bit of time especially if you play splitscreen the change takes a bit longer. In you secondary weapons it is a shame that you only really have three options to choose from. Th real crisp cut scenes are gone, this I guess can both be a pro or con, but I really did enjoy the crisp scenes. Pros: Overall a great game to play with someone, lends itself to team work and strategy. Much more customizing options, and better missions.Read full review
This is some really good co-op/single player game I have ever seen! The way how they make the two main characters interact with each other is beyond Dead Space 3, you can either play split co-op or online co-op and DS3 doesn't even have split co-op.

Great game for Co op. Online vs. is fun but dead now I believe, still a good game for $15-20 for you and a friend. Only annoying thing is the lame fire animations and that another sequel is a long way off. Love the custom guns and masks also. Also just bought this game for my brother so I can kick his ass in Rock paper scissors.
