Advantages: Pimp your weapons, fun Co-Op mode Disadvantages: Laaaaaaaaame single-player. Not nearly long enough.
...interwebs, just good honest fun. Army Of Two carries the legacy of this almost forgotten past-time into the new generation of console gaming, but does it live up to the classic multiplayer games of old, or will it find itself lost in a sea of Call Of Duties and Killzones? You play as either Salem or Rios, two ex-US army soldiers who join the private military in order to rake in the big dough, but find themselves caught up in mysterious, and dangerous, ... ...blasting stuff? On that front, Army of Two delivers. To an extent, at least. There are plenty of weapons to choose from, from your basic AK-47 to a quite frankly ridiculous stinger missile launcher. What's better is that EVERY weapon can be upgraded in some way, whether it be silencers, larger clips, grips or shotgun/grenade attatchments, shields... you can even pimp out EVERY weapon, making them gold/chrome plated and jewel encrusted just to be ...

Advantages: great Co-operative game to play with a friend Disadvantages: Single player is not so great
My good friend was coming to visit, so i needed something we could both play. I'd heard that it was a good CO-OPerative game. And it is too.
Nothing too new. Theres the 3rd person, duck behind and fire-from-cover style of game play. But its still pretty and has plenty of cool features. Including the ability to "buy" new weapons and upgrades. Everything from a new mask, G36, to a minigun.
One nice touch is a gameplay feature called "Agro". Where ... ...fire gets more attention from the enemy. They then glow red and get all the fire, which can be dangerous, but it allows the partner to sneak/flank/maneuver on the enemy and kill them. This is important with some enemies (bosses) where you can only kill them by shooting them in the back. The story is basically based around 2 chaps who used to be in the army, then went and became mercenaries. Betrayal and minor plot twists take place. Its not the best ...

Advantages: Co-op can be fun online, when it works. Good graphics Disadvantages: Horrifically short single player campaign. Nothing Special about it.
Army of Two....Days Gameplay
Army of Two gives the buyer a compelling co-operative experience, and at first look(back cover look) seems like a very solid game. It incorporates plenty of tactics and co-op brawn and the graphics looks clean. However any next gen 3rd person shooter should have these things so it doesn't really stand out from the rest. There are only six missions which is one of the BIGGEST letdown, hence the two days gameplay pun........
... ...is very unreliable.
Army of Two has had a good punt at making its cooperative play unique whether it be gaming alongside a fellow human or with the AI.. The gameplay is similar to that in Xbox's acclaimed Gears of War, because of the exact similar grenade controls and almost the same cover system, called aggro. I don't reall have much to say as the game was so short. If you are looking for a long lasting shooter, get cod4. This will give you short ...

Advantages: Good split screen fun. Disadvantages: Poor online, poor storyline.
Don't get me wrong, Army of Two has it's moments but it's just not a great game. This was for a while one of PlayStation 3's great hypes and unfortunately, it just didn't deliver. We have a water weak story line about power and corruption seen from the perspective of two guys that we really don't care to much about. Put it this way, if this was a teen slasher, these lads would be the first to get the chop. The system of using the two characters works ... ...pretty much there to take the heat off of me whenever i got into hot water. He'd run off at times leaving me with a shower of bullets and nothing but disgruntlement at his shortcomings.
Stick another controller in however and you can have great fun playing this on split screen Co-op as you and your buddies sink some beers and laugh at each others petty playing. It's at this point that the waves of generic troops and poor boss fights don't matter ...
