    Despite some flaws here and there, Army of Two manages to get one of the best coop experiences across ever created. Definitely worth a purchase!

    Excellent Graphics, and it is fun on single player. If Online is as good as SP, I would give it a 9!

    The game is simply fantastic, fun to play off and online, great for single and co-op (if you can with stand the occasional mental instability of your brother in arms). It's like Chaos Theory's Co-op play for the Gung-Ho/LEEROY JENKINS types, as well as the more strategic kind. Definitely worth every penny.

    I must say I've been a little astounded by the main critics opinion of this game. Their was a lot of hype and personally I didn't believe it would help, although the game was above my own expectations and i found it highly enjoyable. If your into any form of co-op and FPS this game will certainly not disappoint.

    Its a cool game. I hope that 3rd person shooters are the way of the future. Like gears of war that was a good game to.

    Terrific overall game-play.

    The campaign mode was very enjoyable, with both good game-play and great storytelling. I did find some similarity to the Gears of War game-play in terms of teamwork, but you are given the ability to control your partner in much more specific ways. The aggro function is pretty cool, and the way you and your partner interact in that regard provides a unique    Terrific overall game-play.

    The AI was a little too basic at times, as occasionally I would be firing at an enemy and another enemy would run from behind me and just keep running until it was in front of me. Overall, though, the AI provided a good challenge.

    The achievements were very rewarding as well, and I think it might be the best collection of achievements since Halo 3.

    I have not had the opportunity to try the online game-play, but overall, it exceeded my expectations.    … Expand

    This game is excellent. Get a friend and go for split screen and its the most fun you can have with a shooter. Gears of War was great but for great co-op, you can't beat this!

    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

    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.

    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.

    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. The graphics are good, sound is excellent (although I'd like the sniper rifles to be a bit more "resounding") and this game has got some of THE BEST I loved it...maybe cause it feels kinda like a "gears of war clone" (yes, it definitely does).

    This is what Gears of War could have been. The UI is handy and anything but cumbersome (paying attention Mr Cliffy B?) Graphically, AOT shines is some place (character models) and falls away in others (explosions, enemy detailing). Audio might be another strong point for some, with spot-on voice-acting and great production values.

    Great graphics, great sound, cool weapons customization and a great new idea with the Aggrometer. All the pieces work great and I imagine will be even better in co-op with another live player. Intuitive controls and lots of fun to play.

    The game has to bear comparison to Gears of War. It is basically a GoW with more realistic human characters and human enemies. It is slightly harder to learn because of the teamwork moves. The game doesn't feel very innovative or new, but it is good fun. I've only played co-op so i've only really experienced the best aspect of the game.

    Fun game for the most part. Great graphics, decent sounds, average controls. The A.I. is a little spotty but works better than the friendly A.I. in Gears. Co-op can be fun but the whole agrro thing goes out the window since you can't figure out who will do what and no one sticks to the plan anyway. Multiplayer sucks balls.

It makes no sense and was toned down to PS2 graphics and disconnects constantly. Seems like a better game alone actually which goes against the entire point of the game existing. Rent since you can go through all 3 difficulties and unlock everything in about 3 days.… Expand

    What a game. Superb cover system . Graphics are out of this world and the sound is top notch. Multiplayer and co op is superb and adds something different . My only flaw would be the length of the game. It could have been a long longer.

    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 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

    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.
