Army of Two demo makes its way to the XBLM

by Dustin Burg { Apr 1st 2008 at 11:15AM }

Just as it was announced last week, a brand spanking new Army of Two demo is available on the Xbox Live Marketplace to all Live subscribers except those in Germany. After downloading this 1.32GB multiplayer demo you and a friend will be able to experience Army of Two co-op battle tactics, co-op camaraderie and lots of co-op killing. Grab the demo if your Army of Two interest is piqued and be sure to bring a friend along for the ride. Death and destruction is always more enjoyable in pairs.

I was too busy rocking to "Still Alive" this morning to notice it was multiplayer. Thanks for the heads up X3F.

This is vs. multiplayer or co-op campaign? The mulitplayer of Army of Two is ok, but the co-op campaign is where the game really shines.

Disregard the poor reviews, if you like co-op shooters you should at least try this game. Don't bother getting it for the single player or versus though.

its co-op online.

i thought this game sucked according to reviews... but playing the demo was actually pretty fun. but i can see how it could get old fast. plus im a fan of tons of gore... i was wishing for watermelon sounds when i got headshots, and fountains of blood. but hey, i guess you cant always get exactly what you want. fun none the less, hopefully its not one of those game that gets old fast.

Co-op campaign is a lot of fun. I never played the online multiplayer...rental was due back.

You're not missing much, except maybe some teabagging.

Digital Limit @ Apr 1st 2008 11:37AM

Hrm, I'll have to try this out.

Neuromancer @ Apr 1st 2008 11:41AM

Decap, I've played it through over twice with friends and I've almost played through it once by myself. It hasn't gotten old yet and there are new maps on the way.

Did anyone get this today?

Yeah, I've played it through once on my own and 4 times over with different friends. The MP is great if you have 3 other friends that have it, so that there won't be any quitting mid match.

Some reviewers didn't give the game a fair shake. I think if you completely ignore this game based off of that, you'll have missed out on a fun co-op experience.

I am going to download this as i am not going to spend £40 on shit .But come on what about condemnend 2? The PS3 network already has it...

@70Olds

Yeah I got it, very silly.

70 Olds @ Apr 1st 2008 12:06PM

@Neuromancer

Yeah, I totally wasted my time and looked at it too :)

Pretty neat game.

The single player reminds me of Black. I enjoyed Black but it wasn't amazing. I would say the game is a solid 7 / 10. A good rental. The worst part for me is the cover system which isn't all that great.

To be honest, this is the only game I've purchased and immediately regretted it. Admittedly I was playing it on my own (as no-one else I knew would touch it), and I can see how the game would be fun in multiplayer, but it's a very cheap copy of Gears of War, even down to the trajectory guideline of throwing grenades. The put-put-put-poot-poot sounds of the guns become tiresome almost immediately, all the enemy AI seems to do is run around in circles around cover if you go anywhere near them, and none of the gun modifications seem to do anything. It also borrows from Crackdown in a lot of respects, but I can't remember for the life of me why it reminded me (as I took AOT back the following day).

The Co-op was fun, but I felt that the controls were cumbersome. Maybe I could have changed the analog stick sensitivity I don't know. But the game was still pretty fun to play with friends. It didnt really deserve the negative reviews it got, but then again I agree that it could get old fast, especially if this is not the type of game you'd generally play.
