A better version of Gears of War
User Rating: 6.5 | Army of Two X360
Army of two is a game that resembles gears of war at first glance. But after a while of playing it the differences really start to show, for example you character is no longer mangetized to cover when he is hiding against a wall to take cover, you just walk right up to the wall and your character just automaticaly hides up against the wall and takes cover. but that doesnt mean that you are fully protected from enemies, there are times when you take cover and enemies will shoot at you and you will still get hit. and the playtime during the maps are really short so when you are getting into the action you stare at a loading screen again. the sounds of the guns are as real as can be and feel realy tough. thebiggest flaw that gives Army of Two a really big hit to the face is the fact that its extremely short. like your playing the game and at the end yo ukill a guy and you think who was that. the driving in the main game involves you driving a hovercraft trying to get from one end of the map to the other, this part is really disapointing in the single player mode because you can ony drive the hovercraft not acually handle the mounted gun atached to it. in singe player the teamate AI for the most part does a fairly good job at playing the game but some of the bad qualities involve healing you at a clealy dangerous spot or not healing you at all, he dosnt pick up riot sheilds either. then there is the shop system in the game. throught levels you earn money wich you use at the shop. at the shop you buy weapons and upgrades for them whitch is actually really fun, seeing how much you can pimp out your weapons. all in all Army of two is basicaly an alternative two Gears of war with better mechanis but shorter gameplay. so if you played Gears of War and thought it wasnt that fun. give Army of Two a whurl.
