Games We Love but Wish We Could Love Playing
21 hours 30 mins ago
Our review of EA Montreal's Army of Two: the 40th Day. A step backwards for the series, which is a real disappointment. While many minor improvements have been to the gameplay made, the plot is severely lacking and much of the humour and charm has gone.
The majority of the game follows Salem and Rios’ attempt to escape the city. While I can appreciate what the developers have attempted here, to recreate a somewhat realistic military situation based on lack of information and rapidly changing situation, the result is less than impressive. The open nature of the plot strips most of the purpose out of the combat, which means the combat feels somewhat dull.

I'd agree with the atmosphere, the up close and personal bit for this war in Shanghai is pretty damn good, the customization is quite detailed and actually makes a difference, and the co-op features are always kick-ass. I will be getting this game soon, but basically for the co-op, MP games are big in my house. Definitely miss the humour and such that made the first game great, though.
I rented it and finished it 2 times because i liked it :/
