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

“Play Army of Two with a friend because your AI teammate is difficult to work with. Customizing weapons and armor is fun. The cover-based combat is centered around the Argo mechanic. It consists of drawing enemy fire while you teammate flanks them(another reason to play with a friend). Sounds good in theory, but gets repetitive.”

“A game to be picked up and played again after playing the 40thday. I can definitely say this is a better game than its sequel. Though the story is rather bland, the co-op makes up for it. Sounds and Music are so-so and graphics are great. However I can't say I got the shooting down, the camera view has to do with that, it just feels awkward. Overall, not such a bad game to pick up if you've got a friend to join.”

“A great co-op game, however the inability to pick up your enemies weapons, or choose which direction you like to shoot from cover take away from some of the appeal this game offers, however the gameplay is good, and really fun with a partner. I probably wouldn't of enjoyed this game if I had to have an AI teammate though. If you like co-op campaigns with friends, I recommend this.”

“A good co-op game. Teaches teamwork and values it over all else. Would've had 5 stars if there had been a more compelling story and a wider variety of weapons and customization.”
