Good: Good voice work, great music, fun coop.
Bad: Some textures look washed, Really short, Not that great online.

Army of Two is a new game by EA. It places you as either Tyson Rios or
Elliot Salem. Both characters with unique personality. The story will
start you off in 1993 in Somalia, you are US Army Rangers, who have
grow tired of being bossed around by their country. After completing
their mission they leave the military and join the Security and
Strategy Corporation.
You complete 5 missions after joining SSC. You will be faced with Betrayal and will have to fight to make things right.
The gameplay in Ao2 is actually pretty solid. The game focuses on this
thing called "aggro". Its simple you shoot - the enemy shoots at you.
If both you and your friend shoot - whoever has the bigger gun will be
shot at more. Who ever has full Aggro will be a bullet magnet and your
partner will be pretty much invisible.
The game is a cover based game. Much like gears. But instead of having
to push a button to enter cover, you just stand beside it and you will
be able to blind fire or preform accurate shots from there.
Theres is a shop system in the game. Where you can buy masks, and
weapons for you character. But you can fully "pimp" out your weapons.
This is the most addicting part of the game.
The game supports 2 player coop. This is where the game really shins.
Get one of your buddies to run through this game with you and its like
a whole new game.
The multiplayer is sadly 4 players online. Its limited by a few maps.
It can be fun when you are teamed up with a smart person and you are
going against a good team. But its really not something that will out
do Call of Duty 4.
The graphics in the game are pretty good. The character models all look
great. The only down part of it is, All enemies look the same
(depending on class). The environments don't always look to great, but
get the job done.
The sound in the game is fantastic. The music is really well done. The
guns sound like they pack a punch. And the voice acting is really great.
The achievements in this game are really well done. They range from
single player, coop, multiplayer, and weapon kills. This is a game you
can get a ton of gamer points on if you take the time, and enjoy it.
Overall Ao2 is a very enjoyable game. And should be checked out by any shooter fan.
