Closing comments from the review by IGN AU's Cam Shea:
"Army of Two really doesn't get much right. The concepts that we were most excited about turned out to be all glitz, no substance, while even the core elements – the settings, the level design, the basic act of shooting your fellow man, left us cold. Not only that, but the dev team has taken a short game and stretched it to breaking point. I believe 'artificially protracted shoot-outs' is the expression I'm looking for. You're either trying to take out some guy hiding behind a sandbag a hundred metres away or the game is throwing wave after wave of enemies at you. Either way it's dull. It's also worth reiterating again that co-op is really the only way to play this game – whether online or splitscreen. The game may not have many redeeming features, but at least with a friend you can laugh together at the AI or attempt to make your own fun. Army of Two isn't terrible, but we're hard pressed to find a decent reason to recommend it."
Neil writes: "Each and every week a great deal of cash is saved with Xbox gamers purchasing some of the very best games at cut-price rates. Guess what? Yep, we're doing that again this week with the multitude of Xbox One and Xbox 360 bargains found in the Xbox Deals With Gold and Spotlight Sale for 18th-24th August 2020. And it's helped that the Ultimate Game Sale is included too."
Neil writes: "With the delay of many AAA titles, and the move into the summer period, it is still a little quiet on the new games front. But that in turn at least gives us the chance to crack on with knuckling down with our huge list of older games that we've been meaning to play. It does however also mean that in order to keep that backlog list topped up, even more Xbox games will need to be purchased - and that is where the latest Xbox Deals With Gold and Spotlight Sale comes in. The latest one - that working between the 7th-13th July 2020 - offers plenty of great discounts on numerous Xbox One and Xbox 360 titles."
Neil writes: "It doesn't matter how many games you have in your digital library nor how large your backlog of shame is - when the opportunity comes around to get access to new cheap gaming experiences, it's hard to say no. And that is what is happening again this week as hot on the heels of one great sale, comes another, with the Xbox Deals With Gold and Spotlight Sale for 9th-15th June 2020 providing many stunning Xbox One and Xbox 360 games at heavily discounted prices. The question is, what will you be picking up this week?"
