 Disapointment March 15, 2008

After watching the commercials on TV I thought this game looked great. However After playing it through I was very disappointed. The game didn't look to bad visually, but other than that there isn't a lot to be excited about. The thing that was very annoying was that the aiming seemed like it was unresponsive even when I put it on the highest setting. The campaign was short and I beat it in under 6 hours. The online multiplayer has an interesting concept in working co-operatively with a partner to complete various objectives, but it's hampered by the slow gameplay. If you really have your heart set on buying this game , I strongly, STRONGLY suggest renting it before hand.

I thought this would be so much better. Don't watch the ads because that is not what the game is like. There are far to many load screens that take an eternity. People have said this is like gears of war. It is not even close!!!!!!! It steals ideas from there and them makes them bad. Terrible interface and many glitches!! What is the deal with the melee attacks. It is the same button as shoot so you never know what it is going to do.
This is fun if you have someone to play with. Other wise forget it, this is a waste of money and an insult to the name Gears of War. They tried far to hard to add cool little things like congratulating your partner, and videos with awesome graphics.
Story is very bad does not flow at all and very abrupt ending. You can hardly even tell that you are fighting the last guy until he is dead.
DO NOT WASTE YOUR MONEY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
 Wait and get it on clearance for $20 in 6 months March 14, 2008

Finished this on "professional" (the highest level) with my 14 yr old son in about 5 hours. After about a week of messing around with it and trying it on-line (the connection often drops or lags in the middle of the game) we are back to playing Call of Duty 4 on-line. If you don't have COD4 definitely get that first.
As the name implies it is meant to be played by two people. If you get dropped, your partner can revive you as with Gears of War. But, if you get dropped in a bad spot, your teammate can drag you to cover and revive you there.
You get paid for completing objectives and taking out bad guys. You get to use the money to buy weapons or upgrade the ones you have with new barrels, stocks, grenade launchers, silencers, etc. You can even get your guns "pimped out" with gold plating. My son really likes customizing his weapon set.
The games is built around teamwork. One of you gets the bad guy's attention blind firing a big loud gun (pimped guns get more aggro too) and your partner sneaks up on their flanks and takes them out. You even get a meter which measures how much attention you are getting (the game calls this "aggro"). The more aggro you aquire makes your character actually glow read and your partner gets a little transparent. Get the aggro meter way up and you get something called "overkill" which puts everything in slow motion and gives you unlimited ammo and 2x damage. There's a couple of other teamwork things like coop sniping (sniping two simultaneous targets) and "back-to-back" which is alot like the overkill thing except you and your partner take out bad guys while standing back-to-back.
Story and movies (that you can't skip) are above average. The graphics don't come close to COD4 or Gears.
The language is very graphic and not just an occasional S**T or D**N as in COD4. This game makes frequent use of F*** and M*****F***ER. Violence level is actually kind of tame compared to something like Gears or COD4. For example, there is no limb or head removal (as with Gears) or blood splats on the walls (as in COD4).
 As fun as i expect but lacking in replayability March 6, 2008

I had high expectations for this game. It looked like lots of fun and had some original ideas. The gameplay turned out to be what i expected and i didn't want to stop playing. The graphics are great and the 2 player interaction makes it very interesting.
The couple downfalls that i have noticed is that it took me 4 hours with a friend to get halfway through the game. If you dont mind spending $60 for 8 hours of entertainment, i guess you can ignore this point. The single player is designed so that you get money for your missions and you spend that money to upgrade your guns (or a face mask that is pointless except for looks). The problem is that you have to buy each gun just to try it out. It would be impossible to build up an arsenal that you can pick and choose from at the end of the game. Instead, you basically get to build up towards one good fat setup and have it for the end of the game. If you want to try out all of the weapons, you will have to play the campaign many times.
Multi player seemed like it could be lots of fun also. I only tried a few games so i didn't get to try out everything. The biggest flaw is that there aren't really any rewards to playing online. You earn cash which is ONLY used as rank. I dont know about everyone else, but that isn't too much motivation to bring me back to the game. If you could build up your character like you do in single player mode (or even if you could just use your single player character in multi-player that way your guys is someone custom) it would make it a lot better. Starting with the same premade guy that everone else has is kinda bland.
It is a very fun game that made me laugh and i hard a hard time putting it down at the end of the night. I dont regret buying it, but i have a hard time recommending it to friends.
Great CO-OP March 11, 2008

A great game to play with a buddy (or wife:-) for co-op play. Playing solo with the AI is okay, but not nearly as enjoyable as with a *real* partner. The AI does a good job, but the dialog variety is a little weak and doesn't provide you with any game feedback, i.e., "Watch out on your left." Also, avoid using your GPS; it's too much hand-holding. It's more fun to explore and figure out your route and objectives on your own. The game is fairly linear, so what's the need for the yellow-blinking brick road?
Things that would've given it a higher rating in my book:
1. more AI instructions, i.e., go left, right, forward, etc.
2. more levels! Too short going solo. Good length for co-op though.
3. customizable armor, i.e., speed versus protecting, custom paint to match the masks, etc.
4. more innovative co-op moments
We're looking forward to Army of Two... er... uh... 2!
