Army of Two

Halo fans (like myself) thought they knew all about the co-op. They thought the run-and-gun, "Chill at the Checkpoint!" action was the real deal. Well, it wasn't. It was a blast, blazing through that Legendary Halo 3 campaign - but nothing, and I mean nothing, in Halo 3's co-op campaign could possibly match up to the two-man experience that is Army of Two.

This better than average shooter is fun to play with a friend, but it's best not to think about the subject matter.

As a single player experience, Army of Two is a fine game -– one that manages to provide a fun, engaging time despite its length, AI issues and elements that don't seem fully implemented. However, it's really co-op play and multiplayer where the game stands out, and these two modes will most likely keep you playing for a long time. Considering that the game has been designed with this style of play in mind, it works very well, and players that want to take on the life of mercenaries will most likely enjoy its story and multiplayer battles.

"Army Of Two adds a lot to the coop shooter genre, and I hope future games take note of some of the additions made, especially something like the aggro meter."

"A great single player and co-op experience, made a lot better with a buddy but not spoiled by a fairly smart A.I chum either. The game isn’t overly long but you’ll certainly want to playthrough it again even if it’s just for the achievements. Online the game is spoiled by a lack of access to all available players and some poor matchmaking and lag. A game to be enjoyed rather than played strictly for points and certainly worth a punt."
