I voted for D, because I think level design and AI are better than the first one, but there's still some issues to be worked out with the whole execute/save civilian thing, and I still don't like the loosy goosy cover system. It's also nice it takes way less bullets to kill an enemy. The over-the-top story totally fits these characters and this world, and I'm glad they took the kitchen sink approach to crazy shit that happens in that game.
Thoughts?
Army of Two: The 40th Day
Game » consists of 12 releases. Released Jan 12, 2010
For Tyson Rios and Elliot Salem, war is strictly business. After their arrangement with former P.M.C. SCC came to a sudden and bloody end, Rios and Salem work for the only people they still trust - each other. However neither their experience as Army Rangers serving in Mogadishu nor their work with SCC has prepared them for the kind of war they'll face in Shanghai.
What is the general feeling on The 40th Day?
graphically, it is a big improvement from the first one. in terms of gameplay, i do find it more fun although after playing through the first chapter & half of the second, i do find the enemy AIs to be not as aggressive as the first (but it's cool that they heal each other now hehe), but maybe it's because it's still the first levels of the game, i have yet to see more challenging enemies in the coming chapters. overall presentation like the menu screens, the gun pimping and loading screens are definitely better than the first. sure, it still has some problems, but so far, i'm having fun with the game!
as for the multiplayer, it's definitely a BIG improvement from the first, it's fast-paced and action-packed! haven't tried extraction yet though...
The game has various glitches when playing with on online player. Numerous times they were dropped, the game froze, or the "abort" they game im not sure what the deal is but its extremely frustrating. Also im on the final level and its behind ridiculous involving difficulty
I don't like the Shanghai scenario of the game. Also, I think having a single scenario for the whole game doesn't fit with the weapon customization stuff... no one picks up gun parts on the street.
I'd rather hoped they continued and improved the whole mercenary"go to countries, earn money, buy weapons"-thing.

just be thankful you dont have to start the whole game over like back in the day.
well never played army of two much so figured i'd get the demo only to have nobody to play it with, after around a 30 min wait got some one to play and though hmm this is not too bad but its definetly a game to rent not buy i think

Anyway its not so much an issue now i've got used to the game, but it took a few levels before we were having any fun. Between the Unskippable cutscenes and the Gun upgrades not saving until you hit a save point.
My skill level is not the point here anyway, It's called good game design.

I haven't played it yet but looking forward to it, I'll save my answer til then. I'll say that the first was a solid game, I enjoyed it.
I vote F. Haven't played the original and gave the demo of this one a shot for the off-chance it could be fun Co-Op online. The game looks like its from 2005 but in HD and is completely lackluster. When you execute the black dude in the demo, love how he ends up not dying from a point blank bullet and decides its time to attack.
Pass, maybe when its 20 bucks and nothing else is out or on my shelf (so never gonna happen).

Would you mind helping me out? Im currently heading to the mall and this one part i can not get past, i think its level 5 if im not mistaken. My Gt is The_Drizzle09 if you want to help me out
I'm playing it with a friend at the minute in splitscreen...it's a massive improvement over the first game which I kinda liked. The enemies go down a lot faster, the guns sound really nice and once you get used to not pressing a button getting into cover it totally makes sense. I also think the game looks really nice which is a surprise seeing as the trailers make it look kind of ugly.
Plus I'm running around with a zebra shotgun and diamond encrusted grenades.
