Army Of Two

Moiph

I didnt know this was out already, has anyone got it? Whats it like?? Details people!!!

Mr E

Not out until the 7th (Friday) as far as I know....

Moiph

Ah right ok. Its on sale on play.com already so I thought it was out!

ShaneU

It's out in 3 days and there's no reviews yet, not a good sign.

I've heard from some people who've playe it that it's only alright, nothing special. You get some mileage out of the co-op, but not much. It's more of a game to rent than to buy.

i liked it to begin with but after i seen more videos, it looks bad.
i hope im wrong!

Out today in the US and theres no reviews at all around, not looking good.

mise

Theres one review on metacritic, Finnish magazine Pelit, giving it 87%...

A very good co-op shooter with reasonably intelligent enemies. Team aspects are emphasised at every turn. It's nothing too special as a single player experience, though.

nevaeh-2die-4

not even a demo on xbl so it must me a stinker.

Fringe

Looks like another overhyped game. Reminds me exactly of Kane and Lynch. Not really interested in it.

FuzzyWuzzyWazza

Ah I was hoping this was going to be a good game, might rent before I buy

mise

Seems to be getting decent reviews, 80% on metacritic after 6 reviews isnt so bad

The Freeman

really had high hopes for this one, reminds me of kane & lynch too, shame..



Reviews have been mostly positive, with most people giving it above average scores.

X-Play gave it 4 out of 5 stars
IGN gave it 7.9 out of 10
Game Informer gave it 7.5 out of 10
GameDaily gave it 4 out of 5

Got this yesterday. Played a bit on single player and found myself getting a bit bored very early on. I see the promise in co-op though and will giving it a bash with a mate tomorrow. So I'd say avoid it unless you have someone to play through the campaign with

event

where'd you get it?

nevaeh-2die-4

tell, were did ya get it

davidtobin100

Ign's review seems pretty positive despite the negative vibes I'd been getting from their coverage. It's one I wouldn't mind d/ling a demo for to help me make my mind up.

Sorry lads I acquired it in a way that providing details would lead to a banning.

omalleyTown

The entire game built around co-op with no local play. Not interested.

If by local play you mean co-op on the same machine it has that. Splitscreen. And 2v2 online with splitscreen.

If it was region free I'd pick it up but apparently it isn't. Not really worth 60 odd euro by the sound of it.

im waiting on play asia to see if its region free

Well the US and NTSC-J are already confirmed by play asia to not be region free. There's only the separate Japanese release and based on the other 2 regions I highly doubt it will be.

Of course I hope I'm wrong!

Just got back from the store with two copies of Army of Two, my mind already blossoming with mercenary exploits, when it suddely became clear that the game has no LAN option.

So it does have splitscreen.

nevaeh-2die-4

im thinking of buying it later any1 one up for some co-op later tonight?

ciano1

Whats up with it coming up as Army of two (EU) in the friends list???? are they naming and shaming importers or something??

anyone know if its region free??

Got 7.2 on GT review

ShaneU

It's not region free. rented it today, it's better than I expected

Zapp Brannigan

Loadsa fun. Can't see myself ever playing it on it's own though. Love the interaction between the 2 characters!

xo_CHEWY_ox

its stupid the way EU copies of the game can only be played online with other EU copies. i cant play with my American friends on Live. what was the point of doing this?

when playing with another player, on live or split screen its really engaging and rewarding. Excellent cover system too and the waepons and upgrades are great. Also the player interaction is very funny, expecially when the guys start air playing the guitar and scream "LADIES LIFT YOUR SHIRTS!!" hehe.
Its different and everyone won't like it but im really enjoying it so far.

btw my add on xbox live is Mikeh500500 (don't ask about weird name)

dazftw

bought this and I thought it was worth every penny! I was worried it would be bad but its turned out to be good fun!
