I love gears of war and all of those games, i also have a eager friend who wants to play a good coop. game. So in your opinion is this game worth the 60 bucks?

I haven't played it yet, but have read people's reviews and seen a lot about the game. I looks like a great game to play with a friend.

its a good co-op game but in my opinion not as good as gears, also it really isn't like gears at all so if you like gears and want to get this game cause you think it will be similar youll be dissapointed.

Personally I got it last night, and I think it will be spending alot of time in my disc tray in the coming weeks(until R6V2). It is fun and addictive Co-Op. I jumped into a co-op story game last night with a guy, and we played from mission 1 through mission two and it took us about 2 hours. It was really fun. The cover system is somewat like gears, except that you are not "stuck" to a wall. you are more like in real life, ducking behind it. The aiming system isn't something to write home about, but it is decent. The AGGRO meter is extremely well done and very fun. Havn't played two v two yet, but will be soon If you get it HAVE FUN!!!

It's a really good game thus far.

To all of you dismissing it because the "evil EA" made it, don't worry. They did right by this game, as it turned it really good. I'm not going to say it's amazing, but with the great co-op, lots of guns to buy/upgrade, a great story, and cool characters, Army of Two is a very good game.

I have no regrets buying it at all, and I recommend it to anybody interested in it, especially fans of co-op play.

Got it yesterday.

This game is really good.

Only play it on Co-op, not single player.

Its tons of shooting and action, the enemy Ai is good too.

Do not pass on this game. EA has surpassed my every expectation for this game. Sure, my expectations were rather low since it's a new IP coming out of EA, but it truly is a great game.

I have a rule when it comes to shooter games.....don't buy anything made by EA. I sat with a friend of mine yesterday who bought Ao2 and played with him for a while. The word "stinker" comes to mind. Rent it if anything.

Heh, it definately is not a bad game, anybody that says it is obviously has played too much gears, or doesnt like TPS.

The cover system is okay, not amazing.

the AI is goodexcept when your ai partner drags you across the level trying to find cover to heal you.

I cant stand it when I get close to enemies it is very frustrating trying to shoot/melee them.

The whole customization thing is really cool, buy a new weapon, mod your muzzle, clip, grip, put a guard on it, w/e, you can buy new armour/weapons.

Bonus objectives to do to earn some extra cash.

Sometimes the controls are frustrating (Easily the most buttons used in a 360 game ever...Each button has like 3 different uses)

So far i'd give it an 8.0/10

Great game, but not spectacular.

I was going to go the same route but I just pre-ordered vegas 2 and gtaiv because I know I will play those games for many months to come.

Tough call. I recommend that you rent it. Personally, its not as good as I hoped, but it does have its good and bad points.

My good points are this.

1) I think the levels are done very well. They have some nice maps, with good objectives.

2) The visuals are nice

3) Overall the game is fun to play.

4) I like the idea of customizing your weapons and having to earn money to buy more guns.

My compliants are these.

1) Can't play online with people out of your region. This may not impact a lot of people, but I have friends in Europe that I always play with online and I can't in this game. So it really cuts out a lot of my friends.

2) The controls are a bit odd. I just can't seem to get the hang of it. This is most likely my issue and not the game. But I really prefer the layouts of games like COD4, GRAW2, and R6V. This is very odd in many ways.

3) The SP AI is STUPID. Your AI buddy will stand in the open and get mowed down all the time. He does not listen to your commands very well and you can't actually direct him where you want him ala GRAW or R6V. So this makes it almost necessary to buddy up online (which again is only good for friends in your region).

4) EA Servers keep going offline

5) If you and your buddy are winning in a versus match online and someone from the other team bails, the game ends and you get NOTHING for your win. No achievement, no cash, nothing.

So see if your local video store has it for rent or use one of the game rental services via the mail if you can to try the game out first.

i wouldn't say its the game to get. rihgt now that RSV2, but its a good pick up (rental) if you wanna play it.

I love gears of war and all of those games, i also have a eager friend who wants to play a good coop. game. So in your opinion is this game worth the 60 bucks?
