Ultimately, what you need to take away from this is that Army of Two is a co-op focused game, much more so than even Gears of War. If you pick this up, you absolutely need to be playing with a friend. It's borderline broken when playing alone, but if you are taking down tangos with a buddy, it becomes a much better and unique, experience.
Pros: Great co-op mechanics; decent customization options; looks pretty.
Cons: Atrocious partner AI; it can't decide whether it's serious or goofy; it essentially requires a friend who also has the game before being good.

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?"
I cant believe a game built for coop is being bashed for bad single player experience.
I have friends buying this game and a roommate that will play split screen. I wonder what they would rank it if they didnt have to fuss with single player
gametap needs to show some love to the game
I checked with a few friends before I decided to buy this, once we all agreed on a system I picked it up for the PS3.
Metacritic is falling by the minute now that reviews are hitting. Seems like it's adding up to a questionable buy. My problem is most reviews give very little replay value & it lasts less than 10 hours...
