Army of Two
GAME » Reviews
Army of Two sets players as two metal clad "mercs" in the modern day Iraq war. Co-op tactics, swift maneuvers and upgraded weapons are necessary to fulfill your contracts and get paid.

"If you're desperate for co-op play, Army of Two will satisfy. But the action is a bit too repetitive to keep you excited for a substantial length of time."

A Fun Romp!

Army of Two is a unique experience much akin to it's brother/sister game Gears of War in terms of playstyle. Army of Two is a game that carries it's own charm and for players who did enough homework o… Read more

Eh... it's one of *those* games

The market is flooded with shooters as everyone knows, but Army of Two isn’t just another Blacksite or Turok. Like a lot of games, Army of Two offers co-operative play, however what sets this game apa… Read more

One thing I love in a video game is it's stress on teamwork.

When army of two first was realeased, I was really dying to try it. In 2009 I finally did. I hate EA to the highest extent possible, but the teamwork stress and storyline made me forgive them for thos… Read more

A good co-op game with potential in future iterations.

Don't get me wrong. This is not a bad game what so ever. At the same time , as I was playing through the single player campaign , I couldn't help but feel that for everything this game seems to do rig… Read more

Well You Get To Kill Stuff...

This game suffers of mediocrity! RENT IT FIRST! In the months following up to Army of Two, this game appeared to be a solid third-person, "Gearsy" experience. However all that hype has been shot down… Read more

Co-op is no longer a mode its the game!

I picked this game up after seeing the trailer for it about 3 months back. I was glad to break away from the FPS's I had been playing for the last 2 months and with Army of Two I was not disappointed.… Read more

A Game With A Solid Premise That Needs Polish

It's taken me almost a year to pick up Army of Two and give it a try. Bad word of mouth and mediocre review scores kept me away until it dropped to a price where I didn't think I'd feel too cheated it… Read more

Gears-style coop and cheesy dialogue

The easiest way to describe Army Of Two is an ’80s action movie designed as a game. It features all the things you’d come to expect from a movie like Die Hard or Commando , but in a competent game tha… Read more

Army of Two

For many of us, some of our fondest memories of playing video games come from the times we spent playing co-operative games with our friends. I remember when I was younger, I’d head over to my friend’… Read more

Fun co-op gunplay, provided you have a friend

Army of Two is a pretty run-of-the-mill 3rd person shooter that doesn't try to stretch the boundaries of the genre, but nevertheless is a fun game if you have a friend. The game emphasizes cooperation… Read more

Army Of Two -Whats with the hate?

Yes I do admit, Army Of Two was not the greatest game in the world, but jeez, whats with all the hate? I thought this game (aside from a few bugs) was very well put out, and one of the most fun experi… Read more

Broken AI and a weak story keep AO2 from capturing your heart.

Salem and Rios, the main characters and army rangers, quickly learn that they could be making more money in privatized military, so they leave the army and and become mercenaries for hire. You play as… Read more

Definitely WAS going to be a classic...

Army of Two is a cooperative cover based shooter that was planned to come out before Christmas '07, but pushed back to polish it up a bit. At first, it was planned to include a variety of vehicles, vo… Read more

Army of ugh...

Army of Two is a game i have been waiting forever to play. Now that i have played it i must say i am a bit let down. What looked like it was going to be an amazing game is only subpar. First let me sa… Read more

The only way to truly enjoy army of two is to play co-op

army of badass

Now, this is worth playing, if just for the badass-ness (if you will). I played through the single player, since my co-op buddy (you know who you are!) is too busy playing Soul Sucker (WoW). The partn… Read more

Total one night stand

Got this game for the co-op. Played it with a friend for a whole night just upgrading guns and laughing at the hilariously inept writing and just how big a douche either character is. I learned among… Read more

Excellent co-op

Army of Two sets you in a modern time period and gives you missions that are sort of based on world events. The main characters are Rios and Salem. The storyline between these two is given in great co… Read more

This generic game fails where it tries to innovate.

Army of Two and a half stars.

Introduction Usually I’m smart enough not to purchase games made or published by E.A. However with the recent release of Army of Two I broke down. I have to admit a game completely centered on co-op g… Read more

It Does Take Two To Tango!

Halo 3 nailed it, Gears of War executed it, and heck even Crackdown did it. Did exactly what you say? Feature the ability to plough through the campaign with a friend over Xbox Live and even on the sa… Read more

Army of Two isn't all that bad.

If you're a person that takes great pride in the Iraq war and the people that serve there, stay away from Army of Two. The multiple jabs at the U.S. Army, and actually killing Iraqi suicide bombers is… Read more

A strong co-op game, with lack luster action.

Army of Two is an action game based on the adventures of two soldiers of fortune. Rios and Salem. These two mask wearing, bro talking bad-asses are not the greatest video game characters ever made, bu… Read more

There are some issues, but it's a fun Co-op game nonetheless.

So EA's Co-op shooter after some delay has finally came out. Was it worth the wait? Yes and no. It's a good game, of that you can be sure. As a Co-op fanatic, this game is heaven. That it can be playe… Read more

EA's latest endeavour tries to break new ground.

In Army of Two, you and a friend (or an AI buddy) take on the role of high risk, high reward soldiers Elliot Salem and Tyson Rios. You start out in the game as enlisted men, but quickly jettison your… Read more

One is the loneliest

Electronic Arts is mostly known for its sports games, so it's very unlikely that an action title coming from the powerhouse is looked forward to. Army of Two, a highly anticipated action title from EA… Read more

A game that tries a little too hard to focus on co-op

Army of Two is one reminds me of one of those B-rated action movies. You have Rios, a battle-hardened soldier who looks like he's seen enough death in his lifetime, and Salem, a young spunky kid who's… Read more
