  • 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 fr...

  • Abstract:  Like watching two men show a passionate adoration for each other, but not in a gay way? Then Army of Two: The 40th Day should be right up your alley. Although it was mostly a bore, the combat was ‘stupid’ enough for two players to take pleasure from wa...

  Published: 2010-02-25, review by: gadgetguy.com.au

  • Abstract:  The sequel to EA’s rather disappointing attempt to make a co-op focused action shooter game almost two years ago now, 40th Day starts very badly, with the racist comment ‘I feel tall’ spewing forth from one of the character’s mouths right at the o...

  • Improved partner AI and controls, solid multiplayer modes, addictive 'Rock, Paper, Scissors' mini-game
  • Co-op can be frustratingly difficult, checkpoints are few and far between, very thin narrative, morality choices have little consequence
  • Like the original Army of Two, The 40th Day was designed from the ground up as a co-op experience. While it is possible to play the game solo, the game is clearly designed for two players to battle it out together...

  • Greatly improved AI and co-op mechanics. A simple and highly effective interface (including an improved GPS) and an intuitive sticky cover system. Refined shooting mechanics and thousands of weapon customisation options.
  • An all too brief campaign with a paper-thin plot offering only six to seven hours of gameplay at most and no replayability. A heavy-handed attempt at stealth elements and a superficial morality system, not carried level to level, both feel like they were...

  • Abstract:  "Homoerotic" is not a label often attached to videogames in spite of the surfeit of buddy titles featuring two strapping, sweaty men cuddling up to one another behind a barrier, weapons in hand. The original Army of Two is one noted exception. Curiousl...

  • The improved partner system, unique play mechanics and brilliant coop mode
  • The occasionally dumb buddy AI and the overpowering stench of testosterone that tends to pervade every cut scene
  • The 40th Day makes use of the solid foundation provided by its prequel to become one of the most unique FPS titles around...

  • Abstract:  Let's be frank here. The original Army of Two was at best mediocre, and at its worst a poor mans copy of Gears of War. Its co-op mode was satisfying though didn't capitalise on its clever "Aggro" system, and the less said about the crummy gun customis...

  • Silly, throwaway nonsense it may be, but that doesn’t mean it’s not any good. Sequels are a fabulous opportunity to correct the wrongs of the original, and while Army of Two won’t be threatening any game of the year lists, it is leaps an...
