Army of Two: Better than you thought?

The topic is about Army of Two. Did you think it was better than what reviewer's described it to be? Details and descriptions of why this game was underated are welcomed.

Army of Two's review by gamespot is already pointed out before, 6.5 is really really wrong. Other sites gave Ao2 like 7 + and I can live with that. The gameplay is solid with multiple choices of weapon with a excitement at every corner. Graphics, audio are just awesome. I don't think this game is a average shooter in anyway, but this game does have its flaws such as the incredibley short campaign and the multiplayer has some lag issues due to one person spoiling it for the rest.

I always thought this game was awesome, was not disappointed at all.

I enjoyed it, even though the game was short.

im renting it now, the day my gold ran out :"(

so i dont know about the multi but the single i dont like at all, 6-7 seems fair to me... i personaly would give it a 6. i just think the lvl s are uninspired.

Gamespots review was stupid. However this game doesnt deserve more than a 6 and thats being nice. The campaign is extremely short and full of f-bombs and all other sorts of colorful language. The multiplayer is like i said in mny posts before crappy from its conecept to its servers. This game had tons of potential and EA didnt fulfill. Now extra content is being released? for more money? This should have been included in the game.Nocturnal15

Are you kidding me, a 6 at most? From what you said it seems more like you're a 'EA Hater' who doesn't give anything they're involved with a chance. What games, in your opinion, deserve more then a 6 and why/what makes them better then AoT (and I mean aside from the usuals Cod4, Halo3, R6V2, Gears, etc...)

I cant wait for the damn sequel though!

I think the game deserves a 6 at the most too.. But it does sound like he's hating on the game for it being made by EA just like Game Spots hateing on it for it being made around the war and not taking it seriously.. Either way, both comment/review seemed bias.. Still, this game was a disapointment imo.

K well since I think he's off now, can I direct my question towards you?

Sure i can list plenty of games i think deserve more then a 6 and are better then AO2.. But i'll go with the game i've recently been playing.. Dark Sector!

Dark Sector offers innovating bosses that you actually have to use some tactic to beat.. Not only that the bosses are all very interesting, and most of the time different then one another.. While, AO2 bosses are all beatin the same way, by having one person distract them with the aggro and having the other flank them.. Not only that their pretty much almost all the same skin.. Dont get me wrong, there is some tactic in flanking someone, but there isnt much..

Also, Dark Sector offers the duck and cover system.. I think the duck and cover system will make and break games, especially those that have bullets being flung at you at every corner.. I actually dis-like COD4 because its without the duck and cover system.. But out of all games that i thought needed a duck and cover system the most and didnt use one was AO2.. What happened to me all the time in AO2 was i'd hide behind something thinking i'm save, but somehow the bullets would keep getting thru to me me.. There's also ton of AI in AO2, so it gets really annoying when i have to fully expose myself to all the AI's when im jus' trying to kill a certain AI and pick them off one by one..

Dark Sector's glaive is just awsome.. I dont think the glaive could be matched by any other weapon in any other game.. But besides the glaive you also have other weapons you can purchase from the black market and upgrade.. While AO2 might have upgraded weapons galore, Dark Sector has upgraded weapons AND the kick ass glaive!

One thing Dark Sector is lacking though is it's online play.. It only offers 2 modes, but they are still pretty fun.. But even Dark Sectors online is better then AO2.. Because AO2 only offers one mode, its 4v4, and it's pretty much doing all the same things you did in the singleplayer.. Not only that you're on servers where you cant match up with friends and play with people in europe..

All and all i really think it depends on someones taste.. But for me, AO2 did some things right, but did way more things wrong.. The whole experience felt broken.. And if you wanna know more about the "beefs" i had with this game i got a reveiw up here -

and i hope this dosnt make anyone "rage", it's just my 2cents..

Great co-op game but, short ...

fun, but gets old really fast.porky_ownsu

agreed

I liked a lot of the co-op mechanics (aggro, back-to-back), but this game had some of the most frustrating targeting issues in a shooter of the current generation of games. The shotgun in particular has no real similarity to the actual weapon. Point-blank shotty blasts don't require the spot-on precision of a handgun, for instance.

Otherwise, I don't really care about the MP issues, b/c there are so many other better games out there for playing on LIVE.

yea but not by much.

the cover mechanism isn't consistant enough and to often i find myself being shot from above.

apart from that though its a solid and fun game to play.

pimping your gun is a pleasure not meant for this world.:)
