In downtown Shanghai on a skyscraper, you peer out into the city below. Suddenly a jet flies by across the sky. The jet plane is shrieking and delivers all of its payloads on the buildings. The entire horizon is filled with explosions and light, leaving all the surrounding buildings start to crumble. All of sudden the jet crashes into the building you are standing on. With a giant explosion the tower rips apart, sending giant pieces into the streets below and almost taking you down with them. These settings are not from a movie but are taken from an upcoming game Army of Two: The 40th Day. Best thing of the trailer is that you’re actually playing this. But before you can even think of what the hell is happening to the best city of china, you have to save your friend Salem. He is caught on the other hand of the collapsing roof. Army of Two: The 40th Day is an upcoming game for Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3. It is developed by EA Montreal and will be published by Electronic Arts. Genre of the game is third person shooter. It will be release in winters of 2009. The game will be a direct sequel to Army of Two.

The first game Army of Two was proved somewhat of a disappointment. The much hyped co-op mode of the game didn’t go well. However, there were some good features also but overall it was not up to the mark. This time developers are promising a far better game. New features for the game include:

Playbook for the battlefield – this fantastic feature will allow you to scan the group of enemies and figure out who is in charge. If you are able to take out then his subordinates will drop their weapons. Giving you and your partner a chance to play dirty on them. The same goes for Sniping.

Using Cover is normal – this feature shows the heavy influence on the Army of Two. But they also cleared that they didn’t need the “snap into cover with a button press.” The feature of cover will place the main characters immediately in a safe position. If booking at a time high speed the characters will slide into to take cover.

Character Description – In Army of Two Rios and Salem main characters of the game are distinguishable this time. As in the previous game presence of the character was same and confusing. Both the character will have more physical distinctive traits. According to the developers one character is weaker then the other. During battles, both will show their faces by flipping mask.

The upgrading system for the weapons is further enhanced with new weapons and new features. You can pick the weapon of a killed enemy and bring your arsenal four weapons. Controls for the game are also redefined and now every action is mapped to one button. Face button is used for the Melee attacks, and you can change weapons with the other key. Partner AI is more approachable and intellectual this time. The AI can now perform many actions like pretend to defend, killing stealth. The choice of saving or killing the citizens roaming the streets is on your desire. Material penetration is included in the game, now if an enemy ducks behind a wood you can shoot him through the wood.
