Rumor: Army of Two sequel called 'The 40th Day'

It's not worth getting for any system.

maybe if your desperate for games..

If you do, make sure you only play it co op, as the AI buddy is a waste of time, usually putting him in cover, staying there, while I clear each room, otherwise he will fail the mission for you (whether thats just getting it's self killed, or dragging you out of cover to heal you, getting you both killed)

the first game only has 6 levels, they were the only decent ones they made out of 12-14 levels. I remember hearing most of the game was gutted out, leaving gaps in plot & missions..

It is a terrible game - even co-op can't squeeze any fun from it. Go to Metacritic - sort games by score and work your way down the list from the highest score. I am sure you see a title that you haven't played yet before you come to Army of Two. Buy that game.

Haters.

The game was a very fun romp-through in co-op if you don't take yourself too seriously.

me and my friend liked it ok. he was super excited for it and i came over the day he got it. we played through the co-op in like 2 days and trust me, i've played much worse games. it was pretty enjoyable at times. that said, after the co-op story is done, the game is absolutely useless. so should you buy it? No. but if you know you have a friend coming over, it may be worth a couple bucks to rent it for a couple days if you don't have anything else to play.

Heh... you always like to bash on Resistance 1 although you can make the exact same argument for it too. I personally think R1 is worlds better than AoT, so it's kind of funny to see you defending AoT.

Anyway, AoT is passable in co-op. My brother and I played through the game once, but really had no desire to play it any more after that. It was just sort of a let down. They had built it up to be this amazing co-op experience where co-op would be crucial and you would have plenty of opportunity to specialized co-op activities... like the whole one person drives a fork lift while the other rides and shoots from the lift... yet that, like everything else, never made it into the final game.

All that was left was those stupid sequences where they would force you back to back for a quick shootout. And those sections were stupid because they were just too forced. You would be stuck back-to-back out in the open when cover would just a few feet away. For example, you remember that section where you parachute down onto that carrier deck? I actual tried to steer my parachute back behind some cargo containers because that would have made the most sense, yet at the last second the game through me back out into the open and put us into one of those forced back-to-back segments. Just dumb.

*threw me back out into the open

Resistance 1 co-op was awesome. actually the game that made me realize i like co-op in shooters since i'm not really the biggest shooter fan in the world.

I had alot of fun with this game. You need a buddy though, just like you do for RE5.

I don't understand why there are so many haters of this title.

From what I understand from an EA employee, developing this game was a total mess, but I think the team managed to pull something together that was playable and enjoyable.

No. Very much no.

i thought it was pretty good. online was shite, but playing through it with a friend was pretty fun. But then again i'm a sucker for co-op.

Very much so, provided you aren't expecting anything profound out of it. It's very enjoyable, provided you're, well, playing co-op.

like everyone else it saying, as long as you were playing co-op with an actual real life person, it was a very enjoyable game. the arcade aspect with the scores of kills and deaths for each level got pretty competitive sometimes between my friend and i. and the weapon customization system isn't bad either. just don't expect the world from it and you can have a good couple days of fun with it.

I think it was better than the similar game "Kane & Lynch", but that isn't saying much. I am a sucker for Co-op as well and this filled a little void for me at the time of its release. Its worth a weekend rental if you plan on having someone to play coop with, but single player, it is a bit below average.

No. It was garbage.

i despised Kane & Lynch. i only played the demo but just in that short span i developed a hate for it. the mechanics where weird first off and then the vulgar language was just terrible. and i tell ya, i love me a Tarintino flick so cursing very rarely gets to me but that game just made me completely uncomfortable. Army of Two had a much better presentation.

Giant pandas!

They're coming right for us!!!

Man-Bear-Pig!

? First one had SS co-op, why wouldn't this one?

It did? I thought it was only online!

What did I miss? :)

you missed a pretty decent co-op experience.....go grab a friend and rent it now

You can even do split screen online against other real players. LoL Just like halo. All you gotta do is have your buddy log in on the second controller and press start at beginning screen. That's it.

"Looks like it will prob suck again."

The MP that is, not the SP.

I actually played through the campaign several times. Good times...

Just for kicks, I googled 'ch33voz.'

The amount of results made me very sad.

Yes, but all those results were from other Fenix postings, so don't fret.

i would be ok with never seeing the "word" cheevo or any of it's variants again

Who cares...I like it.

And when our fist bumps combine we form captain douche bag (who incidentally looks a lot like sonic the hedgehog after collecting 7 chaos emeralds, only.... you know.... a douche.)

Army of Four? why stop there? the PS3 can accept 7 controllers. you'd probably go blind from the shear magnitude of fist bumps (and the inevitable squinting from the gridded split screen).

Because that's a squad.

And that would just be silly.

Are there even any games for the PS3 that support 7 controllers?

that pretty much sums my experience with the game completely. we had alot of fun with the co-op but now that you mention it, i remember how buggy it was at the end of the game. it was already pretty hard at the end and fighting the bugs made it pretty friggin difficult. if they can better the co-op even more and fix the bugs in this one, i'll certainly give a week long rental and me and my buddy can play it.

Be careful of the rabbits.
