The moral choices do not have a huge impact on the game, but they do provide a nice distraction from Army of Two's main priority, assertive killing. Not much has changed between the two, except that EA Montreal has added the extra touch of a few moral choices that pop up throughout the campaign. Their laid back attitude, and insouciant stance on cash for war only continues in the 40th Day as you will bankrolling another bloodstained venture. See, Salem and Rios are mercenaries, professional killing machines, that know what they want, and how to get it. If you are not familiar with Army of Two than picture two extras from 'Gears of War', slapping on painted goalie masks, and arming themselves with a payload that could rival 'Rambo'. Borrowing a page from the ‘Gears of War’ – “we have huge muscular arms” playbook, Salem and Rios add their own charm to the series as the expand on the relationship between the two quick witted friends. The ridiculously big action fits right in with the rest of the characterization in Army of Two, a game that is defined by its two leads, Salem and Rios. This time around the action is even more over-the-top feeling like a combination of 'Die-Hard' meets 'Cloverfield', staring 'Tango and Cash' (minus the drag-queen scene). The storyline feels a lot different then the original, being more disconnected, and a hell of a lot more brutal! Army of Two: The 40th Day has traded in its grass roots appeal for a that of a jacked-up action game. Salem and Rios, who are on a routine extermination must fight together to survive the perils of the city, and the enemy forces that are behind the bombardment. This tale of mass-murder takes the twosome into the catastrophe stricken city of Shanghai, that is being destroyed by a hailstorm of missiles.

Developed by EA Montreal, The 40th Day returns with its stars, Salem and Rios, doing what they do best, kill. The muscular mercs, Salem and Rios return under the marquee, “Fight Together, Survive Together!” in Army of Two: The 40th Day.Īrmy of Two: The 40th Day is the sequel to the original Army of Two that successfully established itself as a series to watch.
