    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.

    Good Rent

    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.

    Great, Solid Title

    This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.

    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

    This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.

    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.

    Fun Game

    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.

    One is The Loneliest Number

    Posted .
    This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.

    As far as 3rd person shooter game Army of Two is above average, but the perfect game everybody wants to have. Army of Two's concept is two army rangers who become professional mercenaries for the SSC a private military company. The main characters Tyson Rios an Salem Elliot are sent on top secret missions against terroist in China, Somalia, Afganistan, and of course Iraq. As you complete objectives you earn money... for weapons. All of the weapons you buy can be upgraded from standard issue to top of the line technology. Choose your armor type and pick out a sick battle mask to strike fear into your enemies. As you progress through the levels you can come across bonuses to boost your bank account. Some say 3rd person games require no skill but to beat Army of Two you have to have a solid trigger finger but also know how to use your partner to your full advantage using the control panel. This is where Aggro comes into play Aggro is attention basically if you have all the Aggro you partner is steathy and can do as he pleases and vice versa. This is key to beating heavily armored troops and turrets. Another thing the teamwork interactions, step jump to get to hard to reach places co-op parachute to steer and shoot enemies at once and Amry of Two's signature move BACK TO BACK allows you and your parnter to act like turret that can turn 360 degrees to demolish lARGE GROUPS OF enemies. Everyone talks of how great Gears was but unlike Gears wear all you do is hide behind walls and blind fire Aggro and the team control panel allow open field battles and tactical sniping as well. You can trade weapons with a partner or co-op snipe two guards at once. Also your can order your partner to advance, regroup, hold position, be aggresive/offensive or passive/defensive etc. Now don't get me wrong Gears was a good game but it can't stand up to Army of Two's characters and storyline. Where in Gears it takes like 5 minutes to beat a part of a level The Six broken up levels of Army of Two take a long time and tactical thinking instead of moving from wall to wall. Away from the criticitism great grahics, a huge aresenal of weapons, an interesting story line, realistic characters and co-op staegies like no other game make Army of Two the best 3rd person shooter out there right now. Highly recommended, strange story line twist but I'll let find out about it own your own.

    This game is best when played as co-op. But is great fun by your self as well. Only easy and normal are unlocked until you beat the game. Good game though and the team work thing is fun

    When you put this game in your 360, you wont wanna put it down. The story mode is so much fun that you wont wanna quit until you beat it... sadly you can beat the game in one long sitting. The game uses AGRO, which is basically when a group of enemies are targeted on you while your partner comes around and silently shoots all of them. But, this game gets old fairly fast, online play sucks, and you just go back to Vegas 2 or COD4. FUN game while it lasts but gets old real fast.

    This really is not a bad game at all.You can customize your weapons the story is put together and this game was built for co-op play.There are sometimes in the game where you get fustrated with the A.I. and the game will agree with you cause your character will talk to himself.But in a way this game may simply remind you of gears of war just a little bit.The voice acting is pretty funny sometimes.Controls slip in some areas sometimes but it pick up in action.But Army of two is better than fighting alone.

    Excelent gameplay, too short

    This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.

    A very good game overall, good gameplay, very fun. At least while it lasted. The campaign has a mediocre storyline and is only 6 levels long!!!! Not worth the money!!!! And the online play is practicly useless, its hard to get into games and stay in, and even when that works that gameplay is laggy at best. I enjoyed it while the campaign lasted, after I found that it was so short, i beleived i wasted my cash, and i did. I would not recomend this.

    Army of Two

    Posted .
    This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.

    Army of Two looked a lot better then I feel it turned out. It looked to me like a more modern version of Gears of War. It is better in some cases for co-op, but the storyline is not quite as good. You have the ability to go back to back, which is a lot of fun. There are parachuting parts where one person controls the parachute and the other shoots the enemies. You can buy new weapons and upgrades for each weapon. This is a very fun thing to do in the game. You can even buy new masks as you go through the game. The agro system is pretty neat, if you are firing and your friend is not you start glowing red and all the enemies go after you and ignore your friend. This is good if you want to have someone sneak up behind the enemies to take them out from behind. There are a number of people you have to take out from behind due to their amount of body armor in the front. If someone gets injured bad enough they can feign death so the enemies think they are dead and focus their fire on the other person. This gives some time to heal; also if you actually go down, your buddy can come over and heal you. This does take awhile because you have to administer first aid. The nice thing though is the person you’re healing can shoot and you can drag him into a safer place. The game is kind of short but there is a little replay ability due to the weapon upgrades and the like. I love games you can play co-op, but there is length missing on this game.

    Army of Two Review

    Posted .
    This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.

    I enjoyed Army of Two. The graphics and sound were great. The gameplay was awesome. I can't say anything about the "multiplayer" or "online" expierience because I don't have access. However, I've heard different opinions about it. Anyways, I like all the weapons. I also enjoy how rich you can be, without making a purchase when you've played the game in it's entirety. There are some issues in this game that somewhat satnds out. The "Faking Death", and making the enemy think that you are dead is OK, but after that you can only make them think you're dead only once is kind of crazy. One more thing: The end boss! I'm not talking about Clyde...I'm talking about the one who enters the helicopter and tries to shoot you down into oblivion! And you can't even kill him! The result ends up at the very end of the game in an end scene that shows the big boss trying to shoot you down and then one of the two shoots a granade launcher at the helicopter, blowing it up into inferno. Exept for these dumb things, the game is great!

    This is an ok gamer to but if you are planning on playing throught the co-op mode with someone else, but if you are planning on going about it alone I would say not to waste your time or money. The graphics are good but the controls are slightly lacking as is the plot which is mindless and predictable. The teamwork is fun with a friend but in the single player mode it can be rather redundant as well as frustrating when you soon realize what a waste of space you partner is when it comes to healing you. Interesting concept to a shooter though with its new take and emphasis on teamwork

    This Game is Pretty Sweet

    This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.

    I've played a lot of fps' and this is definitely one of the best. It breaks away from standard shooters like Halo and keeps you on your toes. Weapon upgrades and mask variants are unique and entertaining. Online is enjoyable (if it stays connected) if you can manage to avoid the swarming a.i. that overcrowd the maps. Online a.i. was a good idea, but I think it was a little over done. You kill all of them near you, set up to snipe a REAL person, and then as soon as you zoom in there are five more super amazing a.i. right behind you. Back to back gets a little old after the fourth time, but it's nice that it goes into slow motion. The story line is exciting and filled with realistic and interesting charecters. Overall, a good game.
