Army of Two (PS3)

Army of Two (AOT) is a very good third person shooter that is definitely best played with a friend. It has two characters who work together as Rios (the scar faced one) and Salem (the handsome one, looks a bit like me lol!) taking on "contracts" in different trouble spots around the world in the present day. The main strength and originality of the game is the two player co-operation and teamwork which makes it more enjoyable and a cut above a lot of the games out there. Your completed contracts and side missions pay ( though not that well ), money that you can put towards bigger and better weapons to help you on your ...  Read the complete review

I didn't so much choose this game so much as have it randomly included in a package deal when I bought my PS3 just a few days ago. Admittedly war games are not generally my first choice; especially those following the story of arrogant and stereotypical American soldiers who believe themselves to be heroes in their own war movie who proceed by killing pretty much anything that moves. However, as this was pretty much the only game that I had for the first few days, I was more-or-less forced to stick with it. Unfortunately I have been unable, as of yet, to experience the online gameplay, so I can't provide much feedback as of that ...  Read the complete review

= Introduction = Bought this game on the first day it was out. I still remember vividly all the hype the game was generating, all the overwhelmingly positive previews gamesites were reporting on the game. = The Good = To begin with, I thought the game had a tonne of potential to be a really good one. The basic idea behind the game is an interesting one - two characters teaming up, co-op all the way through the campaign and beyond. The aggro feature was very fun - basically, the more a character fires at the enemy, the more aggro he would attain, with his partner becoming invisible and able to sneak past and around the ...  Read the complete review

Army of Two is a third person shooting game on the Playstation 3. The premise is fairly simple, you are one (or two if playing coop) member of a Private Military Company and you are considered the elite of the elite. You come equipped with the best armour and weaponry that money can buy. You start off on a fairly routine mission which ultimately becomes less than routine...but the story is for you to play and find out yourself, not for me to spoil. The gameplay mechanics are rather interesting. Your weapon choices aren't massively exciting, there's certainly nothing revolutionary about the weapons available to you, they're pretty standard fare, pistols, ...  Read the complete review

Don't get me wrong, Army of Two has it's moments but it's just not a great game. This was for a while one of PlayStation 3's great hypes and unfortunately, it just didn't deliver. We have a water weak story line about power and corruption seen from the perspective of two guys that we really don't care to much about. Put it this way, if this was a teen slasher, these lads would be the first to get the chop. The system of using the two characters works ok, but i felt that my AI controlled assistant was pretty much there to take the heat off of me whenever i got into hot water. He'd run off at times leaving me with a shower of bullets and nothing but disgruntlement at his ...  Read the complete review
