Army of Two, which stars guns-for-hire chums Tyson Rios and Elliot Salem, revives a genre lain low since the heyday of Contra and Double Dragon and Bad Dudes: the two-buddy action game. No, this isn't some untapped reservoir of the infamous "liquid A.I." hyped in EA's late-'90s sports games-it's just human nature calling in a unique co-op third-person shooter not due to hit the PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360 until sometime in 2007. "In many games you see a character drink water, but then that guy never goes to pee," says Designer Vander Caballero. He flips you the bird when things go wrong. Sometimes you are better restarting a mission if you have picked the wrong loadout!įor a guy who could fit in as a cousin at a Terminator family reunion, the metal-masked mercenary sidekick in EA's ambitious Army of Two sure tries hard to be a real boy. This forces you to think about your loadout and some weapons are really quite unbalanced. The game lets you have a main weapon, special weapons and side in each mission, but you cannot change your loadout on the fly. The game has you earning money as you play and you can use this money to get new weapons. The progression in Army Of Two is really cool. Playing with a friend online is just awesome! The game is designed around you working as a team and one of the gimmicks is that one player can do cover fire which then makes the other invisible to enemies as they focus on the player shooting, you can use this to great tactical advantages and it is a lot of fun. This is the whole gimmick of the game and the game tries it really does try its best with the AI and to be fair it works more often than it does not, but it can still be frustrating from time to time when it does not do what you want it to do. Many of the situations that you will find yourself in the game are flat out impossible to get past with just one solider. This is a co-op shooter and you simply must play it with a friend.
The way that that they fist bump and do bro stuff is really amusing to me. It is loud, obnoxious and completely ridiculous, but it is also a great deal of fun as well. However, as a guy who loves the 80s and 90s action movies, I really dig what they did here. Look a game like Army Of Two is not going to win any awards for its story.
