    I liked the first one.. and at the end of it I knew there would be a second and let me say I couldn't wait

    I own the first game and i loved it. Yes it could be tweaked here and there, but it did bring some new prospective on the co-op play. It is better to play with someone than with yourself. More gratifying. I want to see more on the new one. It seems that they listened to the gamers that had comments on the first game. It seems that they will improve the second game based on the article i read in OXM. Looking forward to taking out new enemies with my brother on Xbox live. Love the Co-op. Respect the Co-op.

    Well, the graphics look very nice, but what will set it apart from the other games on the market? I hope the gameplay is stepped up a few levels. It takes more than some eye candy to justify throwing down $60.00.

    Hope this has some more features in the controls, graphics and market. Too many games (Halo) have the exact same game with a different maps and story. Then they call it a new game and unfortunately the fan boys can't tell the difference.

    lol i liked halo 3's coop more that this 1, and i thing the rating 6.5 is appropriate Still the best coop game ever made on any console was Splinter Cell Chaos Theory

    there are only three things that i want from this game that improve on the last one 1) better story .last one was alright but a little too "god bless america" for my liking.
    2) more guns. the first had a decent selection to start with and this was expanded by the upgrade stuff you could bolt on but more is always better (in most cases ). in this improvement is no "pimp-only" guns. the MP7 was a perfect example in AO2. you could have fitted silencers, extended mag, even a laser sight but they made it so you could only pimp it. stuff like the RPG7 i could agree with the pimp-only but stuff like the DAO and the MP7 are no excuse.
    3)after-release support. not like maintaining servers and such but more DLC. no company can make the perfect game, just a simple fact of life (unless your Bethesda studios who will eventually make the perfect RPG) so after-release DLC (maps are okay but new weapons would be a must) and updates. for example if after, say, 6 months from release they released the "piss-about" gun pack (to illustrate its purpose) with loads of overly-powerful guns for co-op but not for multiplayer (balence issues before you have a hissy-fit) so you could just have some fun. i would pay good money for that gun pack (1000 MS points if needs must).
    these were the only things that, for me, pulled down the last game. i hope your listening EA (100% sure they're not but who knows?)

    i liked the first game, tho it had it errors i still think it was much more fun than Gears of War 1 was. but then again i also played it with my best friend from start to finish, Gears of War 1 wasn't alot of fun to play alone. but on the other hand i loved Gears of War 2 in co-op with my buddy! xD

    aragorn_narsil:
    well... one of the fast probably being that the game pretty much sucked solo. i know the idea of the game is co-op with a friend but still... what game with respect for itself cant you play alone when you want you and still have a good gaming expersince?

    Ok Ok Why The Crap Did Gamespot Give the First One A 6.5? Everyone Knows That That Game Was One Of The Best Co-Op Game On The 360\PS3

    first one was a great game and great coop adventure but controls were a bit shaky. If they can get the controls down, i don't see why AOT: 40th Day won't be a great game.

    I love the first one and can't wait for this one.

    The first one was not bad at all, I understand for those who do not like it, but if you play it with a friend and commit to it, it can be a lot of fun, not much variety though, but its a short fun experience. I know that they are going to improve it this time around, its sounds like the controls are going to be much better, and I hope they improve the aiming, since it was a little floaty in the first game.

    the First one wasn't that good... Graphics were ok, but the Shooting-Effects weren't good at all... They need to improve Gameplay with better Combat and Controls =]
