DESCRIPTION

Two former U.S. Army Rangers, Elliot Salem and Tyson Rios, have turned to the lucrative yet deadly business of mercenary work in EA's Army of Two. As hired guns for a private military corporation, players must utilize teamwork and tactics to survive while behind enemy lines. In addition to traditional co-op moves such as providing cover fire or lifting up a partner to reach higher ground, players will throw guns or ammo clips to their partner, administer first aid, and even link body armor together for defensive maneuvers. The cooperative element is further enhanced with the shared "aggro meter," allowing more aggressive players to attract the enemy's focus or "hate" while the other is free to perform support maneuvers. Dozens of weapons can be customized, enhanced, and shared, from attachments such as laser scopes and silencers to detailing like chrome and gold plating.

Army of Two features multiple international locales, including China, Somalia, and even Miami. Vehicles such as jeeps, tanks, and hovercrafts are also available throughout each mission, with one mercenary driving and the other shooting. Solo players can issue voice commands directly to their AI-controlled teammate via headset. Teammates can be ordered to advance, hold position, regroup, and more, with both aggressive and defensive stances available as well. Online support is included for both cooperative play and for multiplayer-specific games. The latter supports four players (two teams of two) in competitive matches that involve eliminating terrorists, rescuing hostages, or destroying specific items. The goal is to complete the objective before the rival team, earning cash along the way to spend on both weapon and armor upgrades. ~ Scott Alan Marriott, All Game Guide

“so I decide to finally put in Army of Two. I go through the stupid training part and get to the first mission. I can see where this could be an awesome game if it was polished a bit more and then...”

“@KillerTwilight - I love my 360 but if I don't have to play it I'll skip it to avoid the RROD. Besides Saint's Row and Fable 2 both on the 360 also have frozen on me multiple times. -_-;;”

“Another great online coop game. It is very short but if you knock up the difficulty level it makes the game that little bit more fun and challanging. Recommended for any online coop multiplayer fan”

“This was just a really bad game. Whoever made it probably shouldn't try to make any more shooting games. Considering this is on the same console as MGS4, it's makers should be embarrassed. Goldeneye on N64 had a better engine. So did Quake.”
