  • Abstract:  Overall The 40th Day is a good looking game and on the surface appears to be a significant upgrade over the previous installment in the franchise. This time around there is no question we have a title that rivals some of the other heavy hitters on the ...

  • Abstract:  Like any good sequel, Army of Two: 40th Day maintains enough familiarity. To start, you choose either Rios or Salem and a difficulty for each player, then hop into whatever chapter is available. In the first Army of Two, we traveled the globe with the ...

  • Subtle yet effective moral themes, Coop pivotal to game, Buddy bravado toned down.
  • Weak combat and controls, Pretty short length, Poor multiplayer modes.
  • Army of Two: The 40th Day's qualities come from unusual areas. Although the Agro system underpins the overall co-op gameplay sufficiently, the lack of imagination prevents the game from pushing forwards the co-op experience. Instead there's more s...

  Published: 2010-01-13, review by: destructoid.com

  • Abstract:  Army of Two didn't exactly set the gaming world aflame when it released back in 2008. In fact, the only remarkable thing about EA Montreal's co-op shooter was its sheer tastelessness, as daring duo Salem and Rios fist-bumped and cracked wise over the ...

  Published: 2010-01-13, Author: Chris , review by: cnet.com

  • Abstract:  Army of Two: The 40th Day is a third-person shooter in which your objective is simple: get out of Dodge. Or more accurately, Shanghai, a city that is being torn apart by missiles for no discernable reason. Why is this happening? Who is behind it? Who c...

  • The 40th Day has the same shallow appeal as a summer blockbuster. It provides brash, satisfying action when you're in the mood for something loud and fun. ...

  • Abstract:  It doesn't really matter what's happening in Army of Two: The 40th Day. There's always some hunk of Shanghai spectacularly exploding or falling down or exploding as it falls down and that's about all you need to know. And those guys with gu...

  • Improved partner A.I. and controls; solid multiplayer modes; addictive 'Rock, Paper, Scissors' minigame.
  • Coop can be frustratingly difficult; checkpoints are few and far between; very thin narrative; morality choices have little consequence.
