Army of Two (Xbox 360)

...When I first heard about Army of Two I was so excited, me and my friends would download as many trailers as we could and discuss it quite frequently, then when the game actually came out only one of us got it and said the game was not worth buying, well a few weeks ago I came across it in the pre-owned section with a 2 for £30 sticker on, so I picked Circle of Doom up and Army of Two to try them out for myself and when I got home that was the first ...

The idea behind the game is that you either Rios or Salem who are working for the privatized military or in this case the SSC, meaning that you get paid to kill and with this comes missions that bold no relation to you and each level could have no relation with the other some even being a few years apart, ...

Review of Army of Two (Xbox 360)

...The main focus of Army of Two is the Co-op and this is implemented really well. The game enables you to co-op either online or through split-screen play and involves some pretty good tatics. In most cases this involves one player taking on the "agro" by firing blindy at the enemy and attracting their attention allowing the other player to sneak up behind and wipe them out, this becomes very useful against heavily armoured enemies. "What if i've ...
...such RPGs. -----Graphics----- Army of two does have some really nice locations, the suburds are well detailed and provide a nice atmosphere and the same amount of effort has been put in to all the levels which does keep the players interest in the game for much longer as many other games just look the same everywhere. The character modelling is extremely impressive and if you play this game on a full HD tv the detail during the cutscenes is unbelievable. ...

...that you're actually battling an army of clones. The voice acting on the part of the two main characters is unique to say the least. Where as one sounds like a stereotypical deep-voiced military gruff, the other sounds like a sickeningly adolescent American youth who even wears a backwards military baseball cap to give the impression that he's actually cool when in reality he's just a...sickeningly adolescent American youth. Presumably this was ...
...relate to in this character, but to the average gamer he becomes incredibly tedious in a very short space of time. Thankfully, one of the little quirks in the game is to back-hand your partner on command for some strange reason, and I for one took full advantage of this feature. -- Summary -- Overall I would say that it isn't a half-bad game. The graphics are very impressive and there is no shortage of action. However, the missions often feel ...

Review of Army of Two (Xbox 360)

Army of two is about two rangers, who after their first mission of watching a mercenary in action are offered a job as one. they decide to join and become mercenaries too. This game is inventive in the way that you can customise your weapons and armour. This varies from the size of the barrel to pimping your gun to make it look cool (make it gold!). But each one of these add-on's affects your damage, range, magazine cap. and aggro. This brings me ...
...it stand out from most other games. Aggro: this is where the focus of fire is concentrated more on one person. This means they have the "aggro". The reason aggro is important for this game is that your strategy in the game is based mainly around it. For example, if one person takes the "aggro" then the other player can sneak round unnoticed and take the enemy out from behind. What also interested me in this game is the amount of cooperation that ...

Review of Army of Two (Xbox 360)

...are some let downs in army of two, there is considerable bullet-lag and accuracy issues as well as an anoying issue where if you run at the opponent and shoot then turn around when you turn your body there is a split second where he whips his gun around to his other side where the firing ceases and this can mean game over on high difficulties. In spite of this, Army of Two is an addictive and strategic game that I would reccomend whether your planning ...

Review of Army of Two (Xbox 360)

Army of Two... weeks playing time Army of Two provides an intense co-operative experience, and at first glance seems like a very solid game. It incorporates plenty of tactics and co-op brutality and the graphics looks sharp. Unfortunately, that is expected of any decent contender in the next-genration first person shooter genre nowadays. The game does hold the player's imagination and attention throughout the first play, but at six missions it is ...
...struggles from a few minor control issues which slightly limit the experience, but its so vivid and hectic that the initial panic an shellshock should distract you long enough for you not to notice to much. The ragdoll physics on your enemies add to the realism, but are fast becoming a standard feature in the new releases in this field. The only incentive to play any further after completing the story is the "ability to customise a large arsenal ...

Review of Army of Two (Xbox 360)

that one line may seem harsh because some things in this game are legendary and wont be forgotten for a while and will be built upon but... in this game there are in my opinion to many areas where it fails as a shooter. first the length of the game is abbismal. it has online multiplayer which mite of actually helped this cause but that is below standard to be hnest especially even getting into a proper match. you can complete the co-op campaign ...
...u realli can do lol on single player it is the same missions but as your A.I counterpart is so utterly dumb it may take u a bit longer. and when i mean stupid he just shoots and follows u unless u tell him to stop or go forward and it becomes extremely trivial and annoying the levels are linear i feel and very driven even tho there are explorations items u can collect for rewards they are mostly found as u go through the level quite easily close ...

Review of Army of Two (Xbox 360)

...two gaurd's heads off. Army of Two is a great action game that is the best thing that ever happened to the co-op playing world, though it falls far short of the real world. Its great the first few times through, but even after beating on professional(the hardest difficulty) a few times, it begins to lose its vibrance. The game's AI was a good try at being smart but if you don't have a friend there, its just not the same. The true difference between ...
...can tell your friend there is a good spot to snipe around the corner, where as the AI will just run out into enemy fire, possibly die along the way, then cuase you to revert back and try again a few times, or at least that happened to me. So if you really want a shooter game that you and your brother or someone else can play together but not a game you want to play by yourself, then this is the game for you. If you want anything other than that, ...

Review of Army of Two (Xbox 360)

...or money. I purchased Army of Two as a bridge between becoming bored of Call Of Duty 4, and awaiting Rainbow 6 Vegas 2 and Grand Theft Auto 4. In the week in which I owned the game I had a lot of fun completing the game on all of its difficulty settings with a friend. This is however what the game comes down to, If you have nobody to play it with, its not worth a rent. If you do, it is worth a rent only. This game shouldn't be bought like I stupidly ...
...incredibly linear, even to today's standards. It is very easy, even on the harder settings, thanks to the games Artificial Intelligence being embarrassingly stupid. The level design in this game is below par, with repeat textures being used and the feeling that the artists didn't even bother trying to push the consoles limits, making the environments feel very bland. Once I'd finished with the single player (a few days), I moved onto the multiplayer, ...

Review of Army of Two (Xbox 360)

The two player game. No seriously it is. This game absolutely sucks on singleplayer. The A.I. is dumb and well there's no point to the game in singleplayer apart from going online. Online you can team up with someone and have a blast but I have to say CO-OP is the best part of this game full stop. If you're looking for a game that has any type of weapon then you're buying the right game. Or if you're looking for a great co-op game with strategic ...
...just a normal gun game but when you add a second player you do have to use wits or the enemy will outnumber you a 100>1. The storyline isn't that compelling and there aren't that many missions but each mission is cut up into little pieces. Every half an hour or so a little box will come up to ask if you want to do mid-mission buying and then you go into the store and begin to buy if you want...or save up. During that time you can buy different masks, ...

Review of Army of Two (Xbox 360)

Very good game with an original idea of basing the whole game on co-o. Great for playing with a friend and it constantly uses the idea of "two" throughout the game with original ideas including step-up and back-to-back. A good story line with some further down loadable content including an alternate ending which contributes to the game play. However, you do not necessarily need a friend as you can play alone with your partner being AI, in an intelligent ...
...of play. Also includes good online play with team based objectives, yet is slightly limited compared to some other similar games available. If you enjoyed Gears Of War you will love this as it is similar play style with the new idea of two man army. Well worth buying! ...

...are part of a private army called the Security & Strategy Corp [SSC]. And they go on varios missions around war-torn locations to rescue hostages, take out leading terrorists and such like. Game Mechanics- The game centres the play around co-op. This was really the selling point for myself, as I've yet to see a full game based around this game mechanic. I believe its delivered fantastically - as usually, games are focused as a single player, with ...
...upgrade your weapon, and here Army of Two has more than delivered. As a default weapon you get a rather standard sub-machine gun, pistol, sniper rifle and some grenades. But you can modify everything - apart from the grenades, obviously! The primary weapon can have its Barrel upgraded which changes the amount of damage, Stock to control its accuracy, Clip an AK-47 with a 100 round clip is dangerous stuff, Silencer to supress noise, making it less ...
