Army of Two (Xbox 360)

I bought this game purely because it is of those rare breed of games especially designed to be played as a co-op. I always find games whether they be PES or Halo etc are so much more fun when played with a mate. There's nothing quite like celebrating a quality goal or completing Halo on Legendary.

I now thats what Xbox live was designed for but you can't beat having the boys round and having a beer and a few games!

The game starts with various training senarios which do help when you've never played the game before but believe me, they get tedious when you decide to play the game again on a harder level and can't aviod the training.

Anyway, once you're past this the game develops into a quality game of cat and mouse. I first started playing it like Halo (Charge & Fire) but you'll soon find that this isn't the way to play it. You'll need to cover your team mate while he advances and then he'll supress the enemy while you flanck the enemy and take them out, It reminds me slightly of Brothers in Arms.

A nice touch is the ability to go weapon shopping at various parts of the game, don't worry there are plenty of opportunities.

This allows for more co-op in the way that your partner can specialise in short range weapons and you can go for long range weapons such as Sniper Rifles, Automatic Rifles etc.

This gives a great element of co-op as do the cut scenes.

The game does appear slightly shorter than it could have been but I don't think this is a downer.

To be honest I haven't played this game on Live but I may do when we've completed the game on the hardest level.

Weapon upgrades and use of objects for shields, that's about it to define it from other games.

Don't buy this game, don't rent it, if your friend bought it break it, eradicate this game from the earth, terrible and do not recommend Army of Two for the 360.
