Review: Army of Two: The 40th Day

Oh yes Funk. He did just slap his ass. My older and little brother loved the first one so he will buy this one soon. And I like that the masks have more uses. I'm just a bit curious though, is the flower mask the best?
Bought the first one, I regret it. It was fun, but not replayable. I don't really rent games, so I'll probably be giving this a pass.
He didn't slap his ass...
He touch his bum with the palm of his hand.
Well, looks like a rental at best. But a damn fun rental.

Resident evil 5, a game where the second player is a female.. People hated the cow.
Army of 2, a game that has 2 male characters in their co-op storyline... People automatically assume they're gay!
There's just no pleasing anyone is there..
I'd laugh if the developers just threw their hands up in the air and shipped the next co-op game with transvestites...

I got one question. Does everyone in the sequel swear like every five seconds?
The constant unnecessary swearing from everyone, kind of put me off from the first game.

Hooray for explosions!
On the topic at hand: it looks like fun but I'll probably skip it because I'd rather get Red Steel 2 and Bioshock 2.

i bought it full price the day after it came out
why?
because I like this series and this game takes it too another level with improved game play and upgrade mechanics
my only gripes are that:
there are a few set ups for enemies, you know like a few costumes and hats, but thats it, big guys are spread through out the level to mix things up but at one point I gunned down a five man squad with the same hat and costume...
also enemies always have the same gun as you so there isnt a problem with ammo (not really a complaint but its a bit wierd to have everyone using the AK47 in the very last mission when all the way through they have been using the top of the range Scar-H because you switched over for a bit more of a challenge)
the gun camo makes no sense what so ever, yeah sure it adds to aggro, which is OK, and its fun to have a sniper rifle covered in black and white skulls, but why the hell do i have jungle camo in the middle of shang hai?
Is it so hard to get just simple black camo?
I have to agree with Funk, for most people this is a rental game, but if you love (or even just like) the series you should buy it.
Just wanted to point out that I never understood why the series has gotten so much flak from people saying that the two main characters are overly macho idiots. My only counter point is a resounding "So?" with a shrug of my shoulders. Sometimes I play a video game to just shoot stuff and watch it die. What game is honestly made better by the protagonist showing a weaker more sensitive side of themselves? (except for the gears of war series of course, but most people just ***** about that dragging on)

+Its way more funny then the original Army of Two :]
-Checkpoints and Anywhere-shopping dont mix because you will ahve to do the shopping again if you die, and if you play with a guest he/she will not get his bought weapons saved so if you exit the game and then start it again the weapons that the guest have bought will be gone

As someone who love the flawed original, to anyone else who did as well and who has one (1!) friend to play through it all online with, I think it is worth while. Of course I only pay $20 for new EA games, but I think it is worth more.
For fans of the original, it is much better in graphics, mechanics, "feel", story and weapon use and upgrading.
