Demo is all you need This game is entertaining as it is meant for co-op. If you are playing by yourself, wait for gears of war 2 or just play gears of war over again. In the beginning of the game, the graphics and the gameplay was very entertaining. However, after 4 or 5 levels of the same thing without a decent storyline, the game gets extremely repetitive.
Action all over Army of Two certainly has a state of the art AI system and some stunning graphics, although it has some shortcomings in the storyline and multiplayer of the game. The story mode is fun but it ends a little too quickly and leaves out a few too many plot points. The online multiplayer was promising, but fell short of par. Its difficult to figure out how to do an online campaign, and the versus modes are more hype than reality. In a versus match you will see chaos everywhere and a constantly changing objective that is almost impossible to complete before it changes yet again. All in all its a fun game for a while, but quickly can become boring and old.
Deserving of a 4.5 Army of Two was a title that I heard about and didn't pay much attention to, until today. I bought this game today and was surprised at how much fun the mindlessness is. This is an fairly linear shooter that giver hours of fun just killing people. It's all that boring when you get buy and customize guns to turn them into the ultimate killing machines. The point of this is to earn money by killing terrorists all over the world in countries like Somalia, Afghanistan, Iraq, on an aircraft carrier near the Philippines, China, and Miami. You then can spend your money on guns. But that is not the whole point of the game, there is a story. You can choose to be one of two contractors, either Tyson Rios or Elliot Salem. You go around the world killing people for the CCS. Along the way you meet some characters like Clyde (don't remember his full name) and Murray (don't remember her full name either). You end up with a story twist which is not a huge one but it is a good one. The game is rather linear and tedious though. You pretty much run and gun and run and gun some more. It is still pretty fun to kill people though with jacked up guns and the aggro part of the game. Aggro is when you or your partner draw all the attention and gun fire of the enemies so the other person can flank the enemy. This is helpful when you are up against turrets and heavily armored enemies. The action is similar to Gears of War (awesome game) with a similar aiming system and with heavy armor your character looks like a Gear. The game is short though with only 6 missions. Even with those cons the game is still fun as hell and a great choice for when you just want to blow people away with jacked-up guns and have some fun. I would get this for some violent fun.
Army of two great game i enjoyed playing it , great graphics and fun to play ,it really worth the money spent .
Well done two player game. The graphics don't feel as polished as they are in Gears of War but the game play seems to be more fluid. You can easily flow between cover and the weapon upgrades let you personalize a standard weapon to fit you/your teamates playing style(s). The AI does a great job and you can depend on the computer fighting through the levels with you. Overall I think they did a great job with the multiplayer aspect and it is definetly worth the money. In the future maybe they can improve on the game by adding more coop players. Amry of Two Squared maybe?
