Thanks Tara! You're the best!
That is when I blacked out. Two hours later I woke up on the ground in my basement. There was spittle running down the side of my face, a bloody knife in my left hand, and Army of Two: The 40th Day in the other. Video Game Addiction had struck again.
I can't really even tell you what is happening in the game or why. All I know is buildings are asploding, people are asploding, and everyone in China really wants to kill these two lovable Mercs named Salem & Rios.
The shooting feels pretty good, and very tactical. Maybe a bit too tactical sometimes.
Speaking of repeating sequences, dying in the campaign of Ao2t40D is a PAIN due to a sloppy checkpoint system that will make you replay long unskippable cutscenes as well as force you to refight a pesky battle or two that took place before the even peskier battle that was the source of your prior demise.
... the fights are still mighty stacked against you. And yet it is fun, in a pull your hair out sort of way.
Weapon customization is back in a big way. Now you can mix and match your guns in hundreds of ridiculous and funny combos. AK47 stock, M4 body, G36 barrel, tactical scope, screwdriver. Yes, screwdriver. Awesome? Yes, awesome. Money is given to you by the wheelbarrel full during the course of the game, and you can buy and swap your gear at any point during downtime from combat, so you are greatly encouraged to buy and try all of the different weapons and combos. On the down side, altering your equipment is time consuming and, stupidly, the game doesn't save after you select your equipment. This means that if you die in the next firefight, your 15 minutes of weapons mixing goes down the drain. This is terrible game design, and I hope it is patched out soon.
