This is vs. multiplayer or co-op campaign? The mulitplayer of Army of Two is ok, but the co-op campaign is where the game really shines.

Disregard the poor reviews, if you like co-op shooters you should at least try this game. Don't bother getting it for the single player or versus though.

its co-op online.
i thought this game sucked according to reviews... but playing the demo was actually pretty fun. but i can see how it could get old fast. plus im a fan of tons of gore... i was wishing for watermelon sounds when i got headshots, and fountains of blood. but hey, i guess you cant always get exactly what you want. fun none the less, hopefully its not one of those game that gets old fast.

You're not missing much, except maybe some teabagging.

Decap, I've played it through over twice with friends and I've almost played through it once by myself. It hasn't gotten old yet and there are new maps on the way.

Yeah, I've played it through once on my own and 4 times over with different friends. The MP is great if you have 3 other friends that have it, so that there won't be any quitting mid match.
Some reviewers didn't give the game a fair shake. I think if you completely ignore this game based off of that, you'll have missed out on a fun co-op experience.

The single player reminds me of Black. I enjoyed Black but it wasn't amazing. I would say the game is a solid 7 / 10. A good rental. The worst part for me is the cover system which isn't all that great.

To be honest, this is the only game I've purchased and immediately regretted it. Admittedly I was playing it on my own (as no-one else I knew would touch it), and I can see how the game would be fun in multiplayer, but it's a very cheap copy of Gears of War, even down to the trajectory guideline of throwing grenades. The put-put-put-poot-poot sounds of the guns become tiresome almost immediately, all the enemy AI seems to do is run around in circles around cover if you go anywhere near them, and none of the gun modifications seem to do anything. It also borrows from Crackdown in a lot of respects, but I can't remember for the life of me why it reminded me (as I took AOT back the following day).

The Co-op was fun, but I felt that the controls were cumbersome. Maybe I could have changed the analog stick sensitivity I don't know. But the game was still pretty fun to play with friends. It didnt really deserve the negative reviews it got, but then again I agree that it could get old fast, especially if this is not the type of game you'd generally play.

I actually enjoyed the demo. Played with a nice guy and we had fun. I probably wont be buying it anytime soon. But its definitely not as bad as everyone makes it out to be. So long as you play with a friend that is. =D

Good co-op fun, but I agree about the sensitivity. Between that and staring at my friend's half of the screen I spent most of my time strafing ceilings.
