"Here is a man who is alleged… to have taken money from a drug cartel. Are we not to be suspicious as to whether he may have been influenced by a video game industry which has even more money than the thugs of Medellin? If the video game industry wanted to assure the outcome of a Bar disciplinary against its chief critic, then the one person it would want to “get to” is the designated reviewer."

I hope this game doesn't suck. It's got a lot of potential.

This game is going to own
It is totally irreverent, hence its new age box art that gets IN YOUR FACE and shatters your FRAGILE, PRECONCEIVED IDEAS about box art!
It's like splinter cell coop without the sneaking, or the lambert, or the sticky cam, or the pdas. Otherwise its the same. Oh and more cursing and skulls
helll yeah this is the coolest co-op game since Two Crude Dudes for the Genesis (anyone who played this knows what I mean)

Funny that you say that. Reid Schneider, the producer of AO2, was actually also the producer on the first Splinter Cell game: http://www.mobygames.com/developer/sheet/view/developerId,67535/

I'm impressed to see a new game with seemingly innovative game play coming out of EA.

This game is just two 'Army of One's duct-tapped together.

The graphic designer should go back to typography
So if this game get's a (inevitable) sequel, will it be called Army of Two-two? It would be clever if there was a train involved.

Awesome! I love co-op oriented games. Now if Bungie only would help us out in that department.....

I can't believe you guys don't like that box art. I think it's one of the more original covers out there. I will agree the copy is sub par, but the artwork is sweet.

Again,do these developers get a discount on calendars since they only have 3 months on them??

That boxart makes the Orange Box look like the Mona Lisa.

buildings on the boxart looks almost exactly like the ones found on the saintsrow box art.

360 boxart isn't so nice (colors clash) but PS3 is really good.

I'm totally not gonna buy this game cause it has ugly box art. That's all that matters when you buy a game is the art on the cover guys.
