Set in a future where private armies are undermining government military, blah, blah...hell, it's a shooter. And it's for two people. And they swear and high-five each other when whacking the enemy. What's not to like? Fire at the enemy melts, get your aggro meter glowing and all guns will be trained on you. Leaving your buddy free to sneak up and shoot them in the back of the head like the dogs they are. Controls easy (nice touch is tapping Y button to baseball slide into cover). Being a co-op, playing the campaign alone means trusting the AI, which in the main is pretty good. Simple shoulder and d-pad clicks send out orrders, and if you're taking too much heat, you can tell your guy to get all medieval on the enemy ass, and he'll draw fire while you recover. Follow set objectives to gain cash (which you can also bump up completing side missions and searching for level bonuses) which you can they spend, spend, spend on new weapons and upgrades (excellent touch) as well as blinging the sh*t out of your guns. Enemies can't help but pay attention to a diamond-studded missile launcher or solid gold AK47. You can also purchase body armour upgrades and menacing steel face masks. Nice.
Gameplay is intuitive, menus really smart and clear. First level tutors you through the various player controls, and hints pop up in the early stages. Characters are meaty, dialogue suitably rough, tough, rude and funny, enemies aggressive and locations well drawn (apart from the odd texture rip). Sound, including score, dialogue and weapons, score a big fat 10. Problems? Not many. Given the release date fell back by several months, the gameplay doesn't feel quite as polished as it should. Cover system not as tight as Gears or R6 Vegas and automatic weapons seem a little weedy in the early stages (I emptied an entire clip into one dumbass melt without him dropping). But you're not going to buy this for the campaign...you're gonna buy it to hit Xbox live and go hellfire crazy with a buddy. And that's where Ao2 as at its best. Multiplayer hook-up is easy, but I did notice a warning saying you could only co-op on XBL with another PAL disc owner...I guess that means you can't play with you Yankee buddies. Shame.
Overall, it's kick-ass fun, and certainly the best shooter since CoD4. Hoo-ahh!
Quite possibly the best Xbox co-op shooter yet April 5, 2008

If, like my brother and I, you love your co-op shoot-em-ups, then Army of Two is definitely worth getting. I'd compare it favourably to Kane and Lynch and the Conflict games as a base of reference, but it has quite a few unique bells and whistles too. For starters, one of the most unusual aspects of AoT is that you can't pick up enemy weapons, which might sound odd. Instead you can purchase different weapons from various mid-mission arms dealers and then customise them in the most imaginative ways. Once I'd finished with my AK-47, for example, the various barrel, cartridge, stock and frountmount additions left it looking completely unrecognisable!
The co-op features are also a big part of Army of Two. Whether you have to perform a simultaneous snipe or boost each other to climb to a high platform, it's clear that this game was really designed for two players. There are the typical vehicle scenarios where one of you has to act as the gunner while the other drives, but there is also the creative use of riot-shields where one player holds the shield and moves whilst the other sporadically pops out and fires.
Which leads me on to the "Aggro" concept, which Army of Two seems to consider one of their better ideas. The theory is that if player A is firing, hostiles will all concentrate their fire on him and completely ignore player B, who can surreptitiously slip around behind and take them out without hassle. I found that it works well in theory but rarely in practice. That said, however, it was certainly an innovative and interesting strategic addition to my usual gung-ho gameplay.
The graphics are of course superb, as well as the real-world physics we've all come to expect from the 360. The story and characters are engaging and the co-op and customisation factors make Army of Two a very well-rounded game. The only negative point about it is that, like so many 360 shooters I've played recently (Halo 3, Kane & Lynch, Gears of War) it is far too short, with about 14 hours of solid gaming. But with huge customisation possibilities, fluid action-packed gameplay and the option of online multiplayer battles, I can't recommend this game highly enough. If you like tactical shoot-em-ups or co-op games in general, you'll love Army of Two.
Groovy Game. Recommended for the 2player! March 18, 2008

I not long completed this game, its pretty short game but very entertaining and i would recommend any fan of third person shooter to get this game. customing your weapons as detailed and in depth was very impressive, including having available weapon skins as *bling bling* was fantastic and very nice to see. the game play is very nice and a good story line and humour to the game. the only negative thing i can say is that u cant shoot through objects which was a little disappointing, non the less its an amazing game to play with your mate/sibling! recommended. great fun.
Something Different March 26, 2008

Well, this game is something different, forget CoD4, Gears of War, it is not, but, it is a good fun arcade game. Realism HA!!!!!
Playing online with a buddy on the co-op has to be the best feature, and can lead to some laugh out loud moments. The online Vs is a bit ropey and can be extremely annoying, but ultimatley fun never the less.
I haven't played single player campagin yet and to be honest doesn't really appeal to me, will probably only do it foe the achievements.
The graphics and animation on the main characters are good and well executed, the enemy are simpler. The enviroments are very simple and the textures look as if off the original xbox.
The weapons are varied and animated god on the characters, not like many games when you change weapons they dissapere on the characters. Strangley i found the pistols to be the most effective weapons, strange. Sniping is the biggest waste of time going. you can't move when your zoomed in. i really could swear at this point.
In all a good arcadey stocking filler. However not everybodies cup of tes
best adivce for this would either to be buy it second hand or rent it first. don't pay full price, you could be dissapointed.
