(Flash demo) SynopsisPolitical turmoil and conspiracy are threatening the entire world. In efforts to ease the swelling of deceit and injustice and maintain its dominant presence worldwide, the United States has begun awarding an unprecedented number of contracts to Private Military Corporations (PMC). Since Vietnam, the number has increased tenfold and continues to climb. Now, only the combined strength of an Army of Two can define a clear-cut chain of command and the military responsibilities of a nation divided.
As ex-Army Rangers turned contractors for the PMC, you and your comrade will be challenged to use your combined skills and intensive military training to become the deadliest two-man military outfit the world has ever seen. From dual sniping to parachuting, you'll be thrown into the depths of war-torn sites, taken from today's top headlines, where together you must utilize sophisticated tactics and strategies to surface unscathed. Outstanding digital images, 3D animation and expert writing, directing and audio engineering offer a gaming experience that's one of the first of its kind.

this game is one of a kind the reason I say this is this game is base solo around team work and thats awesome.one of the things that I notice was amazing graphics. its one of the best looking games on the 360 to date.also they have this really cool feature in the game were you can give your guy a head bunt for aggression or for encoragment you can give a hand sake or play air guitar.also the missions are really fun to play but their are only 6 missions to play in the game.the AI at times can be stupid but overall its fine.the online co-op is fun during story mode but its really not that cool for online verus mode because theirs only 4 maps to play.great game Worth buying must buy of 2008.

overall, this is a great game, its got a pretty good story backed up with awesome team strategy. as i said, some of the shooting physics are a little strange, but the game feels good to play and has one of the best co op campaigns i have ever played. online multiplayer is pretty good too.

This game is great all-around with some minor flaws.
When you want to play multiplayer it is really fun and makes you work as a team, but there are only four maps and the connection is laggy. It's not my connection that is laggy, it is everyones' because of the terrible servers. The four maps do get old, but they are really fun on bounties. Story is great, Weapons and customizing them is amazing, and the overall theme of the game (teamwork) makes this a really fun game. The story is only five missions with a prolouge, but the levels are long and have high replay value, especially with a friend.

This is a good game overall, but it does have some very annoying issues. First, EA servers are terrible (if you have played skate, you understand). i have yet to play a full game online. the lag stops the gameplay about once every five seconds, making it impossible to play. Next, the aiming can be very annoying, the redicle is not very accurate, although your opponents seem to handle it just fine. One of the biggest issues if you cant play online co-op, your partner can be next to useless. he hates commands well, but when it comes to actually killing people, he falls short. The biggest issue with the AI is that he always wants to heal you in the dumbest places, getting you both killed.

This is a great game that hits all the areas of action and adventure with new, unexplored scenarios such as the parachuting level. Great customizable weapons, great co-op moves to defeat the enemy, good agro system, the only major flaw is that if you don't have a friend to play with, or XBOX Live, it loses it's appeal. The whole point of the game is to romp with a friend and when you resort to playing with an AI partner you lose the excitement of conversing with an actual person and executing the kills as a team. Army of Two is an awesome game and I wouldn't dream of not owning it, but if you don't have any friends or XBOX Live buddies that want to play with you, this isn't your game.

Coolest game

I seriously thought this was one of the coolest games I have ever played. The graphics were incredible, controls were easy to use, the story is original, which majority of the time the stories are always the same,not to mention the game is a lot of fun. Even on single player the computer does really well, you would think it would just be a pain to have the computer fighting with you but it actually works out really well.Overall I just had a ton of fun playing this game and Im hoping they make another one,gears of war has some serious competition.

As long as you have another person to play the game with you then it's great. Single player is kind of boring. The graphics are ok and the camera messes up sometimes. There is a good amount of weapons. Overall it is fun to play.

Great game overall and a really cool concept. A different spin on the mercenary concept. The best part is playing with a partner. Adds a whole new dimension to the game. The weapons are cool too and the attachments and add-ons make it even better. You can really make every weapon your own. The controls are easy to learn, especially if you've played FPS on the 360. One of the coolest features is the overkill and back to back. Just adds a new, fun dimension to the game. Everybody wants to be a tough guy!
Very few cons for this game. It did seem kind of short. I beat it in 2 days and I work full time. There were some minor glitches, but not really significant to detract from the game. Overall this was a real good game and worth getting your hands on.
