Army of Two is a very good team shoot 'em up. It's reasonably realistic and the enemies are quite intelligent. Many weak-looking objects provide perfect cover, which is a bit odd. Army of Two is quite short, too. [March 2008]

The missions are terrific, action-packed stages where something is always happening. More multiplayer maps would've been nice, and the challenge might be too much for rookies. Otherwise, these Two wholeheartedly entertain.

Like dysfunctional characters in a buddy flick, Army of Two has some annoying problems, but if you just want a fun cooperative experience, it gets the job done and delivers sizeable thrills you won’t find anywhere else.

This cheesy "Gears of War"-like shooter is fun, but feels underdeveloped. Some co-op based mechanics are introduced, but are never used to their full potential. The story mode is very brief and not too difficult. In addition, the competitive multiplayer is composed of bland modes. And the controls don't feel tight, unlike in "Gears". Still, the action is fun, although it never rises to the epic level of "Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare". Overall, I'd rate this with a 7 out of 10.

Army of Two is all about gameplay. The story is completely forgettable, but It is a very fun co-op shooter that is worth a play through with a friend.

A little uncomfortable at times with the mercenary story and macho vibes, but the co-op gameplay is tight and fun.

The cooperative system that EA have put in place works, and looks superb in action. Add to that, the fact that the enemy AI is intelligent and is not just going to roll over and die, and the fact that you can spend just as much time modifying weapons as you can do playing the game.

Put simply, Army of Two is a great game to play with a friend whether that friend is local for split-screen or on Xbox Live for remote play.

One of the best games to play Split-screen with your family or friends the jokes in the game are also especially fun and laughable the whole dynamic of the game is friendship and that shows in the real world as well when you're playing it.

A bit too silly to be considered a serious shooter.

Whoever designed the levels in this game, clearly didn't bring a lot of effort or imagination into it.

It has its gimmick of two people being an army but it's not a very good one and quickly becomes tiresome. [Issue#31, p.78]

Army Of Two is relatively straightforward thirdperson shooter, focused on large-scale skirmishes and the dynamics of a two-man team. It’s serviceable enough in some regards. [Apr 2008, p.91]

If I used a computer AI to create a generic coop FPS game I imagine it would make something like "Army of Two." There's nothing here that rises above adequate. The only thing that is interesting is the aggro mechanic between you and your partner, and the way enemies fight using squad tactics, which adds an element of realism to these gunfights. Maybe if I had played this 10 years ago I would have a different opinion of it.

Short campaign, Pretty much no multiplayer interactment during campaign (which is the basis of the entire game, fail?), No replay value, and a poor multiplayer makes this game an epic failure.
SummaryArmy of Two throws gamers into hot spots ripped from current day headlines where they utilize unique TWO man strategies and tactics while seamlessly transitioning between playing with intelligent Partner AI (PAI) and a live player. When one man is not enough, it takes an army of two to fight through war, political turmoil and a conspirac... Read More
