Oh..... what could have been

3 star fun only applies to co-op campaign, if not for that it would be significantly less fun.

EA could have really had something with this title, but then again, they are EA. A game centrally focused on 2 player co-op is one of the things the gaming community has been crying out for, and we almost had it.

This game is a mixed bag of goods, as most 3 star games are. Below you will find my ratings breakdown for the game:

OVERALL: 3 stars.
A game worth playing, but only one time through, and no extended play time can be found from the multiplayer experience.

Gameplay: 3 stars.
The best gameplay feature is the overkill, which is a state your player enters when a meter becomes full because of firing a weapon repeatedly capped off by elimanating an enemy, and it gives you 2x weapons damage and makes your partner go unnoticed briefly. It's a unique feature that plays out very well. It even bring some low level strategy into the game because you can order your partner AI to shoot enough where he will eneter overkill and put you into a stealth mode where you can rack up some kills.

The worse features include spotty parnter AI (if you get to far ahead of him, he sometimes gets stuck and you have to backtrack and get him), and poor aiming/weapon interface.

Graphics: 4 stars.
Overall, the graphics are above average.

Multiplayer: 1 star.
Way too much lag, and many times you can't even finish a match.

On a final note the achievements are pretty easily had except for 1 multiplayer achievement.

Interesting Concept

This is one of those games you go back and forth on; One minute you are totally involved, the next totally frustrated. I enjoyed much of this game, especially some of the levels and graphics. The back to back shooting was a cool new trick, and your partner actually seems to help you in the single player mode. My problem was with the seemingly constant on screen prompts that come up right in the middle of the action; I also found some of the 'command' buttons to be a chore when you were under heavy fire. I suppose you could eventually master them, but someone just picking the game up to play would have some difficulties. My major problem w/this game is that it's not always user friendly. Perhaps a control scheme similar to the Tom Clancy games in terms of dealing w/your 'better half' would have been more suiting. Don't dumb it down, but make it a little more logical. Very good graphics and controls well overall, but commanding your 'computer partner' can be a pain. I should note this review is based solely on the single player mode w/out an actual person playing Rios. Also, I thought the single player campaign was too short. A rental at best.

Great

Overall this is a great game simply because it is amazing the only bad thing is that the story line is sort of predictable but the weapon customization is good

Great game, few if any noticable defects, Co-Op is the best I have seen in awhile, fun weapon systems, but why cant you sell your old unused ones? More mods for weapons and deeper game play I would expect from a second Army Of Two, but what will they call it? Army Of Two 2? Fun story line, but you'll only wanna play it once(and a half), Xbox Live recommended if you like investing in a game you will play for a long time. Cant say I regret buying it, you wont either.

A fantastic game - for about two weeks

This game is really fun. Upgrading weapons, then killing enemies with a friend is a blast. The problem is that the campaign is only 6 levels long (I beat it in one night) and once you beat it once or twice through, there's no point in going back. Multiplayer is all right, but once again it won't keep you coming back.

Rent this game, you'll save money and you'll have plenty of fun.

Worth the buy

Great 3rd person shooter. Decent plot, plenty of bad guys and they pay you to kill people. Plays alot like Gears of War, without chainsaw bayonets. Unable to play the online stuff right now so I can't say much about that, however single player and split-screen coop were enough to keep me entertained for some time. Something I'll definatly pick back up again, ESPECIALLY when I can have access to xbox live.

Excellent game!
Exciting, challenging, with a lot of replay value.
Even after beating the game, you still want to play.
Well worth the money.

gears of war + tom clancy = army of two

take the gameplay of gears of war, add a basic story line and some tactics of a good tom clancy game, and there you have it.
a few positives and negatives. + great diversity of weapons - the more expensive weapons are worst then the cheaper weapons. + lots of addons for weapons - sheilds and to "pimp" on weapons are worthless and just cost extra money.

If you have a friend, BUY IT!

I just got this game a few days ago, I was somewhat skeptical at first because I was dumb and listened to some of the reviews (I need to stop doing that because the people who review games these days are idiots and give bad reviews to wonderful games)... anyway:

This game is GREAT! It is extremely fun if you play with a friend(on the same tv, or on xbox live). I tried playing it with the computer AI but it was horrible, not any fun at all. Can't say that I have tried the multiplayer yet, but I would even say that you should buy this game just for the fun that it gives you playing it with your best bud. On top of this, it has amazing graphics and it is a third person shooter(haven't had one of those in a good while). if you are still skeptical, rent it and see if you like it. I would say the replay value is extremely high as well, and each different difficultity gives you a different taste for the game!

New, good idea, not to well implemented

This is a game I was anxiously awaiting the release for. The game has a great idea of building a game around a 2 man team, which I was looking forward to as this is pretty much a first. The graphics are decent however the gamelplay is not very realistic at all. I was hoping for more realism. The gameplay is a bit quirky. This is a good start and expect the sequel if there is one to be much better. It is a decent game, but somewhat boring and repetetive...

NOTE: I may be a bit biased due to the extremely high expectations playing Call of Duty 4 has placed on us...
