To nobody's surprise, Army of Two is apparently trash.

UK mag Xbox World had these kind words to say about the game, after having played what they call "a very complete beta":

As anyone who's read the Bible (or as is more likely, seen Governor Arnold's End of Days) will tell you, the Devil comes in many forms. Sometimes he's a little boy named Damien, sometimes he's a girl whose head can turn a full 360 degrees, and sometimes he's under deep, deep cover as a videogame.Xbox World

We're accustomed to being offended by bad games, but it's not often we find ourselves objecting on a moral level. Not even Manhunt's lead nutcase revels in murder to the extent of Army of Two's infantile high-fiving redneck jackasses whose every action is based on some right-wing idea of how great the war on terror is.Xbox World

And even kinder ones:

As it stands, Army of Two is a juvenile swear-fest with clumsy controls, a story apparently penned by a seven year old who hates them ay-rabs, laughable level design that tosses you into a cut-scene every thirty seconds, sub Perfect Dark Zero graphics and the two least likable characters in gaming history. We'd rather play as a Bubsy the Bobcat/Raiden from Metal Gear Solid tag-team than these two douchebags. The delay is a stay of execution. It has four months to get even vaguely good. Hope for a miracle.Xbox World

To the three or four people looking forward to Army of Two, don't.

The quotes about the game's Americanism are made even more awesome by the game being made in Canada.

Dice doesn't make bad games. Look at these new screens. The explosions rival the ones in Crysis.

Published AND developed by EA. This game looks to be 2008's Kane and Lynch.

Not surprising really...

Apparently they bumped it's release date because the early review copies they sent out got absolutely slammed. :lol:

*This is according to the Xmas issue of EGM...in the "Delayed" section or w.e.

I thought it looked like a mediocre game. The only people hyping this were the same people saying Stranglehold > Bioshock and other such nonsense.

I never put the two in the same category. HAZE is guaranteed to be good, we hope it's great, but it will at least be good.

Army of Two was a mystery.

Exactly it looks more like they are more offended from the cutscenes the characters and the games political stance rather than the actual gameplay

very unprofessional write up that is completely offensive to Americans who believe in freedom

slystallion26

no it didn't. It was biased against murderous redneck jackasses

most americans are cool

you got a problem with the heart and soul of the country? Or are you advocating a bunch of liberal lunatics who support communism and phony global warming scams??

i'm going to ask that you be modded for your redneck comment...very offensive

actaully i have to admit that "Army of Two's infantile high-fiving redneck jackasses whose every action is based on some right-wing idea of how great the war on terror is." was the funniest quote i have seen in awhile. It made me laugh because it is how i view most American's.

This game was getting some hype so this is a very big suprise to most me even being one of them. I dont think the characters could be hated more than Kane and Lynch.
