A great COOP game but laggy uninspired VERSUS multi-player

Army of Two is a third person shooter that looks and sounds great and plays very good. You get to play one of the two mercenaries thru 6 missions along with an AI partner (which you need to hold his hand) or with a real person. Playing this game with one of your friends over XBL is a lot of fun. You can even get matched with a stranger that wants to play the same level on the same difficulty level as you.

The story is forgettable but the dialogue and cut-scenes are very well done and should be enjoyable the first time you see them. The game is really short and should take you 6 to 7 hours to finish it with a friend. There's a little bit of replay value if you wish to get all the achievements but once you did everything there's no sense I doing the Campaign again.

The Versus mode basically groups you with another person against another team. The objective is to get more cash then the other team before the round ends. It's nice but there's only 4 maps and unlike the COOP campaign... there was a lot of lag for me.

The graphics are really good and the framerate holds up very nicely. The levels are big but there's only 6 of them.

Personally I don't think this game is worth purchasing until the lag in the Versus mode is fixed but it's a really solid rental.
