Army of Two (Xbox 360)

EA Games have grown a bit of a reputation with gamers. They have a stack of games with almost zero polish, they have a tendency to barely change yearly releases and they can come off as greedy, with them buying out Pandemic and Bioware and now are trying to buy Take 2. The attempt at Take 2 has really sparked hatred. Either way, they have taken a big risk with Army of Two. Games these days are including Co-op play as a bonus feature. Some have succeeded, like Gears of War yet some have failed like Kameo. But no game has focused on the co-op in almost all of its game types, but that what Army of Two does. It's a risky gameplay style, which pretty much needs another player ...  Read the complete review

It's the winter of 2007 and 360 gamers are perhaps being given the best winter line up of games of all time. From 'Bioshock' via 'Mass Effect', 'Halo 3', 'The Orange Box' and 'Call of Duty 4' you could hardly move for a game that screams must own. These five games alone are likely to set the average gamer back £200 so what will happen to the other 30 or so games released during the same period? The stupid will go out anyway and be killed of, whilst cleverer publishers may decide to hold off until the quieter start of the New Year. This is what EA did with 'Army of Two'. They were so close to a pre Christmas release that magazines had already reviewed it only for to ...  Read the complete review

Army Of Two is primarily a two player game (hence the title) in a first-person shooter battle mode, although it can be played by one player.

The game has an 18 rating which is understandable considering the content of strong bloody violence and offensive language throughout the game. Graphically, the game ...  Read the complete review

I enjoy playing games, like most people. In fact I have a number of consoles in my house. However what I enjoy most is being able to play wiht someone, to actually work through missions together. When your there playing a game on your own, sometimes you need an extra set of hands to complete a task, or help you beat overwhelming numbers of enemies. The problem is in these cases the game gives you a computer controlled character to assist you, this character is not more intelligent than the enemy, which means they are pretty much useless. What I love is getting games where a friend and I can work through CO-OP on it (split screen is just fine on a 46" TV ...  Read the complete review

Army of Two When I first heard about Army of Two I was so excited, me and my friends would download as many trailers as we could and discuss it quite frequently, then when the game actually came out only one of us got it and said the game was not worth buying, well a few weeks ago I came across it in the pre-owned section with a 2 for £30 sticker on, so I picked Circle of Doom up and Army of Two to try them out for myself and when I got home that was the first thing I did. Story In the very beginning you make your character selection of either Salem of Rios, on both times I have chosen Salem as he seems more like the cute and friendly and ...  Read the complete review
