 Better Than The Original ARMY OF TWO |
| Review Date: January 12, 2010 |
| Reviewer: TYE JR, Milwaukee, WI USA |
| Although, I haven't had this very long but, from what I've played is extremely satisfying this game rocks. I love the weaponry and cutscenes and dialogue already in this game. The storymode so far in this is more interesting than MW2, that gives it great single and co-op play, the AGGRO system in here very sharp and pleasing, you should love faking surrenders and faking death in a hard place,the graphicss are good but not as good as MW2. This game does however bring back something I love which is BDA (bullet damage action) if you're using the right weapon and give someone a headshot you blow their head off, which really makes a shooter worthy of M ratings. I played all of the online multiplayer modes and they're all great, they strongly enforce teamwork which is what this type of game is all about. Oh yeah cannot forget about the weapon and mask and armor customization I designed my mask and armor and they're just what I expected them to be you should be pleased too. Now for my ratings STORYMODE 5stars, GAMEPLAY 5stars, GRAPHICS 4STARS, MULTIPLAYER 5stars and CO-OP 5stars. This one kick-ass game you won't regret. ARMY OF TWO: THE 40th DAY 5stars |
| Spectacular Sequel |

| The first Army of two (Ao2) game concluded with our heroes Elliot Salem and Tyson Rios deciding to form their own private military company together known as Trans World Operations (T.W.O.). The sequel takes place a couple of years after this. While on a routine mission in Shanghai, China Rios and Salem find themselves trapped in a city underseige. Their initial reaction is to locate their mission coordinator Alice Murray and to leave the city; however things aren't quite so simple. They'll have to use their wits, skills, and teamwork to fight for every inch of ground in this city. Along the way they'll have to make life or death decisions that'll test the strength of their bond.
The sequel makes many improvements over the original game while still managing to maintain the best parts of the previous game. This time around if you're playing in solo campaign mode your AI partner is much more intelligent. If you're wounded your partner will not drag you right in to the enemies' line fire so that you can both die. Also it doesn't matter what part of the game you're in you can command your partner to take the lead versus the original game where even if you wanted them to go first at certain points they wouldn't. Other improvements to the game play include the use of the shield. Instead of always sharing a shield now both people can take a shield and split up to take on the enemy. Both characters' can also sprint at any time, which is really useful in some areas. Now you can customize your weapons at any point during the game when you're not in battle instead of going shopping before and at the end of missions like in the first game. There are now new options in how you engage the enemies. You don't have to kill them all the time, you can tie them up, or you or your partner can do a mock surrender while the other person takes the enemies out. When you're wounded instead of lying out in the open waiting to be shot now you can drag yourself someplace safe until your partner arrives to heal you. The environment is now destructible which presents a new level of fun. Also depending on the type of gun you use you can blow enemies' heads clean off *weg*. Another noteworthy improvement for the sequel is the visuals. Shanghai is stunning to behold especially the zoo level. Once you beat the game you can unlock different outfits for both Rios and Salem including the original Ao2 gear. Great things from the 1st game that have returned include the aggro meter. The aggro meter is a gauge that indicates which player is the focus of the enemy's attention. Whichever player has the highest Aggro rating will attract all the enemies towards them. This allows the other player to become virtually invisible and thus sneak up to enemy positions. You can still go back to back at certain points, engage in blind fire, perform step jumps, do the fake death, and the emote factor has returned. The sequel features some new emotes both positive and negative that I'm sure anyone can appreciate. |
| VERY easy to get wrapped up in this story line |

| This is the first game i played on my PS3 and i would say the story line and action of this game make you forget about time. my step son and i sat and played this game for about 11 and a half hours straight, and completed the game. i haven't played it online but the play through story line is action packed, and just all around fun. i just ordered the first part to this game so i guess i'll be able to later compare it and how far it came along from the first one. if you are looking for a game where you can just sit back relax and just blow the hell out of people for hours i would recommend this game. i do like how they let you make decisions through the game and based on those decisions is how your game unfolds to you.i can only hope this is a step that shooters are heading in. 2 thumbs way up for this one |

| Much better than the first installment, even though we loved that one, too. Smooth operations and controls, cool weapons, and much better customization. The heavy guys are harder to kill and definitely require cooperation with your partner. Can't wait for the next installment! |
| Army of Two: The 40th Day is a Great Game to Play. |

| I went out yesterday and bought Army of Two: The 40th Day at Best Buy. I hurry home to play the game and the game started out good. The beginning cut scenes are great and the graphics are really good of Shanghai, China. I was impressed because the graphics in this game reminded me a lot of the graphics in Uncharted 2: Among Thieves.
Okay here is the difference between this game and Uncharted 2: Among Thieves. The AI in Uncharted 2 is a lot better. I played the role of Elliot Salem in the Single Player Campaign and the AI played the role of Tyson Rios. Well, in our first firefight together I told Rios to hold fast in front of enemy soldiers while I went around to try to outflank them. Well by the time I got around behind the enemy soldiers, all of the enemy soldiers were aready dead. Rios had killed them all. I thought what fun was that. I wanted to fight and kill some enemy soldiers. Then the next time I told Rios to go take prisoner a enemy officer that was behind a group of enemy soldiers. Well Rios sneaks up on the enemy officer while the enemy officer walks in front of the enemy soldiers. Rios was able to grab the enemy officer and hold him hostage in front of all the enemy soldiers. I thought to myself why didn't the enemy soldiers react and do anything to stop Rios from grabbing their commanding officer? It didn't make any sense. Then I noticed when I shot at the enemy soldiers that they fall down and die way too easy. The enemy soldiers in the first Army of Two game were a lot harder to take down and kill. Now I've only played the first part of the game and maybe it will get better later on. I suggest for the first part of the game to play on the hardest setting. If I notice any big differences in the game later on, I'll try to update the game with a better rating. JANUARY 20, 2010 UPDATE: Okay, so I just finished playing the game and here are my thoughts on the game now. The first part of the game I reviewed was the first Chapter to the Single Player Campaign. There are a total of seven Chapters to play through. The first Chapter is more like a tutorial on how to play the game. It was easy but the later Chapters got a lot harder. The AI is actually quite good in the game. My partner (Rios) in the game helped me out quite a bit and the enemy soldiers were pretty good at using cover to hide behind and trying to outflank you. I love how you can upgrade your weapons and how you can use your partner in a lot of different situations to help out. The battles and firefights throughout the game are pretty intense. I ended up really enjoying the game. I would recommend going out and buying the game. I give the game five stars now on my rating instead of three. |
