    I played it because my friends and me needed a 4 player game from time to time. Absolutely average.

    "Army of Two" was EA's answer to "Gears of War". Unfortunately, it didn't live up to the hype. But it does provide a few hours of mindless fun. The campaign is brief and underwhelming due to wonky controls, goofy characters and uninteresting level design. Sadly, most of the co-op moves can only be used at certain points.

This is one of those action titles that you won't regret finding at the bargain bin. It's worth playing through once. Overall, I would rate this with a 7.2 out of 10.… Expand

    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.

    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.

    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.

    I thought the game was amazing, but the weapon customization and overpowered AI were a pain in the ass. But the in-game cutscenes looked impressive and the round the world campaign of betrayal and fame/fortune made it worth while.

    EA's "Army of Two" is like a poor man's "Gears of War". While it looks gritty and great, the final product is anything but. It's more like a cheesy satire of Michael Bay movies with some good ideas that are poorly implemented.

Two players can play it simultaneously as heroes Salem & Rios, but the wonky controls and poorly designed levels make "Army of Two" a sub-par affair. The "agro" system is just a cheap way of exploiting the terrible enemy A.I. and certain co-op moves can only be performed in certain parts of the game (making them sort of pointless). This short-lengthed actioner has some fun little moments, but it doesn't hold up against the best of the genre. Not even close.… Expand

    The gameplay is fun and weapon customization is good but there is no replay value to the game. It features a very short campaign and lame multiplayer. It lacks content as well. Yet its still a decent and somewhat challenging shooter.

    I'm a fan of shooters, but this game is not that great. The graphics aren't appealing, and the mechanics are fairly shoddy. The game lacks any kind of charm or personality. Really cheesy dialogue and a lackluster plot. I didn't have much fun with this game at all. If you want a good co-op shooter then get r6v2.

This is something that has been done before in much better games, like Gears of War for example. The Locust will attack whichever enemy they see first, but if the other player starts firing at them, they will return the shots. However, Gears of War has better things going for it than just that. In Army of Two, well, that's the entire game. The concept of "turning invisible" when one player has the attention of the enemies is just stupid also, because one player having a big gun would never make trained soldiers forget entirely about the other. And don't get me started on the story and characters (annoying).

    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

    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.

    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.
