Customer Reviews

Army of Two - More Like Team America
Army of Two is about 2 mercernaries, Rios and Salem, who are dropped into real world hotspots (such as Iraq and Afghanistan) to resolve conflicts. There is a plot, but nothing worthy of mention, in fact the whole thing reeks of chest beating American patriotism. May work for some, put it completely turned me off.

Yet the controversial subject matter always made this an enticing prospect. The focus is very much on co-op play here, which works well and is entertaining enough.

However, single player isnt so hot. The game just doesent flow, with the majority of levels being a collection of awkward and under-developed set pieces. The 'back to back' mode would have worked much better if it could be activated randomly, the parachuting section makes terrible use of sixaxis (which mercifully can be turned off).
In addition, the graphics are underwhelming, only the menu screens have any of the typical EA presentation. Despite being able to 'pimp'your weapons, the shooting itself isnt much fun.
The aggro meter is a great innovation though, and one of the only mechanics in Army of Two that actually works.

Sadly it isnt until the later levels (like Miami International Airport) that Army of Two shows its true potential. And by then its almost much over. The ending also sets Army of Two up as a franchise, so hopefully the sequel will develop these good ideas more successfully.

Brilliant game
Army of Two is a brilliant game, buy it!!! Even two player is good, especially with HD. I havent tried it on the Xbox 360 but i think it will still be really good on it

COOP is a MUST!
Haven bought the game solely to play with my brother, I was a little aprehensive as to what to expect.

Visually I was very dissapointed, compare it to the likes of gta and MGS4 theyre pretty poor.

However Gameplay quickly sucks you in . Its easily addicitve when your shouting at your bro MOVE MOVE MOVE, while i cover fire, but with the awkward controls and unclear objectives , I often felt a little lost.

Like I said as a solo game, its ok, but when you spent the last few days playing COD4 you cant help but compare.

However I recomend this game as a good coop with your mate and thats it really.
