    É um jogo bacana com mecânicas interessantes. É divertido e têm uma boa ambientação. Para quem gosta de jogo de tiro, com certeza vai gostar desse game. Para jogar co-op é melhor ainda.

    I have really enjoyed this game . What I love about the Army of two series is that the AI parnter is very useful . He makes lots of kills and his ability of having unlimted ammo makes him a valueable asset when it comes to attracting aggro . This was a very nice game . I still play all entries when I let my xbox one rest

    This was one of my earliest Xbox 360 games that I enjoyed in co-op and I thought was really fun to beat. Anyway I gave this game an 8,8 out of 10 it was good.

    Its story might not present anything that revolutionary, but the incredibly entertaining "Army Of Two" still brings an immensely fun co-op experience and a pretty bold weapons system to the proverbial table.

    The game's a really fun GoW knockoff. The graphics are nice and the gameplay awesome! But your A.I. teammate is just plain stupid. Certain points he just runs at the enemy guns blazing only to get gunned down by the bad guy holding a minigun and I have to save him over and over again, same thing with him.

    Army of Two was a pretty fun game. The cooperative mode is something I have yet to see surpassed by anything outside of the Gears of War series and the multiplayer mode is addicting. My favorite part of the gun is the various guns and the add-ons you can buy for them, giving the replay value a few kicks up when wanting the powerful sniper rifle or the P-90.

    I played this game only in co-op mode, so I can't speak for the partner AI. However, with a human teammate this game is pretty fun. The aiming is horrible and the hit detection is weak, but those are the only real complaints I have. The cover system is pretty nice, as is the revive system, and the weapon upgrades are pretty cool.

I played through it both on normal and professional, and I don't usually play through games more than once. Also, there are two free campaign missions released as DLC bringing the mission total to 8. I found this game to be of pretty good length for a shooter, maybe even a little long, but I tend to like my shooters a little shorter than most people (I thought Bioshock was too long). All in all, a solid, very fun game with a teammate. Butting heads and giving out kidney punches to your teammate never gets old and neither does giving high fives and air guitaring with them. Oh, and it's the best teabagging/humping game out there. A solid 8/10 strictly because of the co-op. Without that I'd probably rate it a 6/10 or so.… Expand

    Great Game, great idea and great graphics! This is a great title and the single player does stand well on it's own (despite more focus on this aspect in the future). Easily recommended and a great new property to be excited about!

    Loved it. Wasn't expecting to - infact I was all ready to hate it after seeing some of the rather negative reviews. But when my friend brought it round and we popped it in.. well I went out and bought my own copy the very next day! Good, solid action, great set pieces and level design, and buying/upgrading weapons is fab. The single player is definitely a tad too short, but I loved Loved it.

The single player is definitely a tad too short, but I loved every second of it, and while it is a little derivative of GoW in some respects, the way it handles cover, and the concept of aggro are unique.

    I loved it...maybe cause it feels kinda like a "gears of war clone" (yes, it definitely does). This is by NO MEANS a bad thing, though: co-op is campaign good (better with friend than with AI) and weapon upgrades make things interesting.

    This was a awesome game. It has many new features and does not lack any action. The only flaw was that it has an ending. All of my friends can't wait for a sequel.

    This game is fantastic. People that dislike it are the people who are expecting a gears of war clone, but this game dares to try something new and succeeds. The co-op is campaign is quite simply beautiful. Its full of replay value since each person you play with will give a new experience and new weapon upgrades make lots of difference to how aggressively you approach the enemy.

The graphics are beautiful and some of the levels are the best i have seen in a long time. There may only be six 'missions' but think of these as chapters, as each is broken into smaller segments and take quite a while to complete on harder settings. The versus mode online is something quite fresh and original. Its focus is still on two man team play which works REALLY well. Its much easier to get one other random player to work along side you than it is to get a whole team of xbox live strangers to co-operate and thats why the two vs two mode is a real gem. Each map has multiple objectives and many different approaches and this mode alone offers hours and hours of gameplay. I was very quickly hooked and encourage you to give it a go.… Expand

    Although its a fairly short game, I like how this game has taken shoot-ums with a new angle, where previously there was a huge focus on just single player modes with optional second player, this time its the other way around. I wouldn't try this game by myself again, I did it once and it was quite boring and the bot they pair you up with is fairly lame, making the game really hard.

The only issues I can think of are: 1) Co-op is only avail on one screen or online: No lan session possible with this game in story mode. Split screen sucks! 2)Took a friend of mine and I about 12 hours to finish. Felt it was quite short but done very well. Give it a go if you are a fan of the "gears of war" type shoot-ums.… Expand

    The single-player part of the game is hindered by your AI partner but when you play it with a friend the game really shines. This is one of the few games that after I finished it I was ready to start over and play through it again.

    This game is sick. I picked this game up on a fluke and me and my brother cant put it down. Theres nothing like shaking my brothers hand then punchin him the nuts in the middle of a firefight. My whole family got a kick out of that. Yes the game holds your hand a little (i'd like to pull off back to back on my own please) but its not nearly as bad as many critics make it out to be.

    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.
