Gamedaily writes: We've got enough experience with mercenary/military action games to make us think we're enlisted in the service. However, like any good dessert, there's always room for more, and Army of Two more than satisfies. Electronic Arts put together a finely tuned action opus, one that serves genuine purpose when to comes to team empowerment.
Visually, Army of Two scores with outstanding details. The soldiers look very intimidating with their custom mercenary gear (we love those skull helmets) and plenty of slick moves, such as the cover slide. The levels are great, varying in locale and providing lots of cover points and stuff to blow up. You'll love taking a ride on the aircraft carrier, with waves so realistic you may actually feel seasick. The display darkens a little bit quickly if you take too much damage, but it gives you this creepy feeling that you're seriously about to die, unless your partner can pull you out of harm's way. Overall, this is a marvelous looking game.
Then there's audio, which is in a league by itself. The music is decent, consisting of battle themes that are nowhere near as irritating as the rock tune in the recent TV ad. However, the voice work really shines, aggressive and humorous at the same time.

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?"
Again... tomorrow can not come fast enough!
They can't seem to get people excited about this - if the review scores stay in 8+ I don't see why they wouldn't put one out.
I was beginning to think that this would be a horrible game, only because with most games reviews come out a couple of days before release, but so far reviewers seem to like it.
i dont know what EA is smoking but they need to stay on it and keep making good games (cough madden cough)
"and these guys put up a hell of a dance"
Well your review score doesn't show a "hell of a dance". If 8 is a hell of a dance what in gods name is a 9.5!!!! I think this game is being underrated by many reviewers just because its an EA game. This game deserves a 9.0 easy.
I still dont support EA and Never will until they show me that they care about making games and bring new ideas instead of trying to satisfy shareholders and being repetitive.
