    I bought this game to play co-op with my brother; we got quite far through the campaign before deciding it was so awful we couldn't bare to play it any more. There are some decent sections and the idea is good, but the execution is poor. I would have thought an EA published title could have invested some more time into making it a bit more interesting.

    If I used a computer AI to create a generic coop FPS game I imagine it would make something like "Army of Two." There's nothing here that rises above adequate. The only thing that is interesting is the aggro mechanic between you and your partner, and the way enemies fight using squad tactics, which adds an element of realism to these gunfights.

    An absolute sham of a game. Don't believe the hype. EDGE magazine's review is the most honest review I have seen yet and they are one of the most respected magazines in the world.

    I really wasn't interested in this game, but a friend kept going on about it. Looked good, but new it was an EA game and had my doubts after being 'burned' in the past. CONGRATULATIONS EA- you guys absolutely suck. Yet again, another game that completely blows when played online. I thought it was all about online co-op. All my other games work fine online except Medal of I really wasn't interested in this game, but a friend kept going on about it.

Yet again, another game that completely blows when played online. I thought it was all about online co-op. All my other games work fine online except Medal of Honor Airborne, various other EA games and now this. There are complaints all over the internet about EA's crap servers. They do not respond to customers' issues, even on there own forums. Co-op game seems 'ok' online but versus just boots me out every 2 minutes. I just paid £40 to play this online and I can't. I also can't connect to friends in Canada because in their infinite wisdom have made the game region specific. EA are supposed to be one of the biggest software companies around (they've been in the business for years)and to have problems like this on a new release is just unacceptable. Everyone I know who has bought this game (7 friends) feel totally fed up with it already and don't just want it fixed, they want their money back. The game is totally flawed online. The single player is short and boring to boot. EA are money grabbing 'BAR STEWARDS'. I don't understand why Microsoft allowed them to run their own servers in the first place. Please do not buy this game. Ignore all the 9's its getting- they must all be EA employees or live in the States or something. I'm in the UK and so are all 7 of my friends. Please do not buy this. The single player definitely isn't worth the money or the co-op experience. Gears of War blows this out of the water, kicks the crap out of it, then sets it on fire. Enough said. You have been warned. Get Frontline, learn how to play a proper team game and check out Kaos's forums for that game. They respond to there fans issues and have already updated the number of servers to fix some of the issues they were having- which were nothing compared to this travesty, in the first place. GFX 6, sound 6, gameplay 6 enjoyment 0. And just to let you know Medal of Honor Airborne is as bad now as it was a year ago online- so don't hold your breath for any patches or fixes to this mess any time soon. I WILL NOT BUY ANOTHER EA GAME- WHATEVER IT IS.… Expand

    Literally beat it in a single afternoon. The games characters are unlikable, the plot sucked and the entire experience was very wash and repeat. There are no real boss battles. The back to back crappy action movie style segments just drove yet a nail into this ready to return no reply value coffin. The game sucks. Period.

    The Good: I like how the game focuses on co-op The mechanics are above average The Bad: This game has the worst plot ever. If you go through the game and at no point think it's extremely unrealistic or way too XXXXXTREME then you should go ahead and castrate yourself. The story was written by ADHD crackheads injecting steroids into their eyes.

    Short campaign, Pretty much no multiplayer interactment during campaign (which is the basis of the entire game, fail?), No replay value, and a poor multiplayer makes this game an epic failure.

    While its focus on coop is a great idea it over complicates itself, its far too straight forward and just isnt fun, the online community is already dead, its far hard if your playing with someone at a different skill level to your own, and really is boring with a stupid plot that doesnt suck you in at all, alot of good ideas but poorly executed, although the ammount of weopon modification While its focus on coop is a great idea it over complicates itself, its far too straight forward and just isnt fun, the online community is already dead, its far hard if your playing with someone at a different skill level to your own, and really is boring with a stupid plot that doesnt suck you in at all, alot of good ideas but poorly executed, although the ammount of weopon modification is cool, not worth playing really, it sucks, its more for people who enjoy lame shooters than good ones, if you like good shooting games like halo 1 or 3 or halife or deus ex, this isnt for you, if you like mindless violence and our not a real gamer, sure go blow your money, youll like it.… Expand

    This is a game for moronic idiots. The mercs are more suited to watching Spongebob than saving the free world. The friendly AI is some moronic that sometimes would run around in circles or fail to revive me. The gameplay is ripped off from gears of war but without the awe or enemy variety. Also how can a bunch of ill trained rebels hijack a carrier and kill Navy SEALs? **** this game andThis is a game for moronic idiots.

    Un jeu pensé pour la coopération multi-joueurs (et peut-être très intéressant, qui sait ?) mais en solo avec l'IA aux fraises et une interface défectueuse, c'est une purge. On se retrouve avec un Gears of War bas de gamme et bas de plafond, une réalisation moyenne, une VF certes appréciable et un jeu où la banalité des situations se dispute avec la médiocrité générale. Un gros navet.

    It has plenty of redeeming and rewarding features to offset its linear limitations, but it was designed to be played with a friend, so approach with caution if you don't have Xbox Live or a friend to partner up with.

    Calling Army of Two a poor mans Gears of War may be unfair, but the comparison is a reality as the game falls short on so many levels.

    Army of Two’s solo mission doesn’t match the firepower of its two-person co-op play, either in the offline game or online. But it does have plenty enough gun-filled action to satiate any violence-fans fill, and if the online gameplay is functionally free of lag or connectivity issues, Army of Two is one of the better recently released titles in regards to Xbox Live gaming.
