A WHOLE lotta Fun!

User Rating: 8.5 | Army of Two X360
You have to completely ignore Gamespot's scoring of this title. It is by NO means a 6.5 game. The whole point of the gameplay revolves around having a human co-op parter - hence the title "Army of Two." Seriously, I hate EA as much as the next guy, but they totally scored with this title. If HALO3 can be graded on it's Online component alone, why can't titles like this be graded the same way for consistency's sake?

The animation and gameplay is silky smooth. It's crazy over the top action that has you really appreciating your partner. Small gestures like the little "knuckle-bump" along with the "good job!" really do well to drive home the whole teamwork initiatives. The graphics and presentation are top notch (looks like a finished game) and the game-play is solid. If you're going to be playing this by yourself, a 7.5 might be warranted... but as it stands, played the way it was designed to be played, it is a solid 8.5. Think CONTRA of 2008.
