Hands-on: Army of Two: The 40th Day (PSP)

any air guitar invovled/punching your partner?

Sounds like Killzone: Liberation and that is definitely a good thing.

Looks good. I'm glad they decided to work towards the PSP's strengths on this one (i.e. isometric camera instead of first/third-person)

ad-hoc two player only or online two player also?

Can that one character get any beefier?

aristokrat,

You should try the Syphon Filter series. I liked it much better than MGS:PO, and Resistance is worth at least a rent if you haven't tried it.

I agree with you in that KZ takes some time getting used to, and it can be frustrating, but I enjoyed it. Make sure you download the extra episode.

It looks like they got into the Gears of War steroids.

so i guess its not going to be called Army of two 2 the 40th day.

that would be so cool

To tell you the truth i was hoping a true Army of two game for psp. Its not like they can't do it they can observe other TPS and use there control scheme or edit it a little bit and not make it from a distant view. And i don't see why they don't put infrastructure, its not like psp is a limited-online system, most games that have ad-hoc could simply add online, if they can't put up a server then ask gamespy, they mostly host games for the psp. Im actually quite tired of seeing great franchise games like killzone and resistance minimized to games true fans to the series wouldn't actually play. The only reason gamers buy these game because its from a popular developer or it has something important to the franchise. RR could have kept its FPS if they just made it FPS, when people say a console game is heading to psp you would expect to see a similar view of the console only psp graphics and different control scheme. But no they would do a complete change that would lead you either ignoring the game and play the console version or just play it because your a fan to the series and want to see what happens in the franchise. The only shooter games that kept its element from its console systems, is socom ftb series, MOH series, syphon filter series, rachet and clank,and star wars battlefront(actually the battlefront series on the psp actually improved it instead of removing all the elements people loved from it).

I don't think EA Montreal is developing this, just producing. I believe the developer is in Eugene, Oregon. I don't know their name though.

Am I the only person who disliked first game? The game was too short, the dialogue was cheesy, co-op mechanics felt too forced/scripted (go to the circle to do back-to-back, now go to this ledge to help your partner up, etc). And playing the game in single-player (with AI for help) was way too frustrating... I only completed the game in co-op mode.

It felt like Gears of War, only with poorer graphics and gameplay.

The only thing I enjoyed was pimping out your guns with shiny gold-plating to max your "agro". It's was corny, but funny as hell.

Yea EA montreal is developing this and producing it , i hope they change it to third person view since they until winter 2010
