Army of Two Two

PSP, PS3, Xbox 360

On the one year anniversary of the original's release here in Australia, EA Montreal has today revealed they are working on a sequel to Army of Two, titled Army of Two: The 40th Day. The two-man private military team of Salem and Rios return, and must survive in a city under siege.

"With Army of Two: The 40th Day, we’re pushing the tactical two-man military team into new battlegrounds offering a completely organic and rich co-op experience to deliver an action-packed co-op shooter this winter," says Reid Schneider, Executive Producer, EA Montreal. "As chaos blankets Shanghai, China, you must rely on your partner to survive as you weave through a broken city left devastated in a mysterious wake."

When a disaster of strikes Shanghai, China, Rios and Salem find themselves right in the middle of it all - the wrong place, the wrong time, but the right team. A carefully orchestrated series of mysterious catastrophes is dragging Shanghai to the brink of ruin, and now the Army of Two must fight their way through ravaged city districts as they try to beat the odds and uncover the secret of the fortieth day.

The game features a ton of brand new co-op moves that either player can use, resulting in a bigger, more organic and immersive experience. The game will be available on Xbox 360, PS3 and PSP in Winter this year.

The first one was major let down for me personally. The gameplay was buggy, Co-Op online was hopelessly laggy, the weapon mods were just wtf and it didn't really bring anything effectively innovative to the table.

Hope they fix the aggro system atleast this time - it was just lame.

I thought it was adequate.. Since then a lot of better games came along, but I remember I didn't think it was terrible.

I reviewed it about a year ago I think.

I always heard it was pretty terrible.

I still don't know why people bring out mediocre shooters these days, there's a good many really good ones to choose from.
