Overall this is a great game simply because it is amazing the only bad thing is that the story line is sort of predictable but the weapon customization is good

Not a bad game...It was different which was what I liked about it...While you control one guy to take out some terrorists, you make your partner stand the ground and distract the bad guys so you can sneak around....Graphics were great...The only negative thing I found were the buttons on the controller...There were too many buttons within the game and on the controller it was difficult to remember what to press at what time...All and all...good game

This game is definitly one of my favorites, mainly for the Co-op concept. Basically it's two mercenaries uncovering a plot to take over the government. It takes place in an alternate reality where private armies are a regular part of the landscape. The story is really good and the charcters are well written, but the co-op is where it's at. Even though the game is short, clocking in at about 10 hours or so, it's so much fun when you can play with a friend oinline and beat the game. Me and my buddy popped it in and beat it in under 4 days, including going to school. We both enjoyed it very much and he probably wouldn't have played it if it wasn't for the two player. Haven't tried multiplayer yet but this is definatly an awesome two player experience. Very challenging too, we played it on normal and had a ton of trouble, but now are trying it on difficult. Overall I'd say if you're a fan of the third person shooter genre then you should pick it up, if not then a rent may be better for you.
Also weapons customization is by far the best I've seen in awhile as well.

The storymode is great. Single player is great fun but at times your AI partner gets artificially UNintelligent. If you are not dying because of your AI partner not helping you, then most of the time it's funny. Gameplay is great...you don't stick to cover like Gears but you can still blindfire. AWESOME Online Coop Story Mode play!!! Versus online play is kinda cool.
Matchmaking really needs a patch soon if this game wants to stay alive in the next few months. It's like you don't know who is online, if anyone is at all. There's no list of rooms you can join....you just automatically join 1 room. In Versus mode...two teams of two go head-to-head completing different types of objectives like kill the target or rescue a prisoner and many others. You are against each other and NPC's are trying to kill both teams. Vehicles are on the MP maps but the tank on one of the maps is kinda strange since there's really nowhere to drive it.
GREAT GAME. Fun to play over and over again in story mode. Pimping out your weapons gets addictive. Please hurry up with a MP patch soon!!! Army of Two is one of those games you must have if you love Coop. Can't wait for Army of Two 2

This is one of those games you go back and forth on; One minute you are totally involved, the next totally frustrated. I enjoyed much of this game, especially some of the levels and graphics. The back to back shooting was a cool new trick, and your partner actually seems to help you in the single player mode. My problem was with the seemingly constant on screen prompts that come up right in the middle of the action; I also found some of the 'command' buttons to be a chore when you were under heavy fire. I suppose you could eventually master them, but someone just picking the game up to play would have some difficulties. My major problem w/this game is that it's not always user friendly. Perhaps a control scheme similar to the Tom Clancy games in terms of dealing w/your 'better half' would have been more suiting. Don't dumb it down, but make it a little more logical. Very good graphics and controls well overall, but commanding your 'computer partner' can be a pain. I should note this review is based solely on the single player mode w/out an actual person playing Rios. Also, I thought the single player campaign was too short. A rental at best.
