    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.

    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

    quick and dirty, but extremely fun--MADE for co-op play. wonderfully entertaining characters. basic plot enhanced by features of character, cash money, and pimping out guns.

    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!

    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.

    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!

    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.

    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.

    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 never thought I'd say this, being one of EA's biggest cynics, but man, I loved it.… Expand

    Excellent coop shooter. Although people are complaining, I found the AI quite good in the single person mode. Well done. Story as excellent part and some cheap one also. Worth every penny.

    This game is an engaging single, co-op, and multiplayer experience. The game is extremely fun especially with a friend. The story is great as well. Could be a movie script. Graphics 10/10 hands down. It will also give you a pretty good challenge. The customization options are plentiful. Plus, the two characters just look so badass!

    This game is ot perfect, but the fun factor and the coop gameplay is awesome. If you liked gears of war style youll even prefer this one for sure. So if you like coop games this is an absolute must!!!

    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.
