    Provides co-op fun in its purest form. But the game not only scores with its fantastic co-op mode, but also with the variety of playable weapons, the sound and its thrilling atmosphere. The only minor disappointment comes from its visual realization, which appears a little bit antiquated. Nevertheless this is another superb entry in the Army of Two franchise.

    The game sticks too close to its inspiration at times, but it still offers a meaty campaign loaded with non-stop action. If you enjoy Gears, you will enjoy this.

    Surprisingly fun, this Army of Two is likely to go unnoticed because of all the games launched these weeks. However, it delivers what it promises: loads of fun.

    The Devil's Cartel takes what made the original Army of Two intriguing and replaces it with quick and simple gameplay that doesn't require much skill. Together with a weak script, this shallow experience is only for the most devoted of fans and trophy hunters desperate for another Platinum.

  1. great game, graphics, destructible areas, awesome design 4 lvls, like a methlab n grow warehouse, realistic explosions decent campaign lenght 8hours, i'd give it 8,5 but since some are giving it low, i think it deeserves a lil high, most important this game is fun Expand
  2. Say whatever you want: Army of Two TDC is a solid 3rd person shooter and a more mature, evolved entry in the franchise. Honestly? I think this is the best one so far. I loved the first AoT, thought the 40th day was a bit boring (though it did bring some new features) but the Devil`s Cartel, in my opinion, is more polished and committed to the sole purpose of being a game all about testosterone: irrelevant story and the chance to blow s**t sky high. The "Overkill" feature is a awesome and I really like that they brought 2 new heroes, Alpha and Bravo, to replace Rios and Salem (who do appear in the game, by the way). In the end, although a bit generic and not bringing anything new to the table, the franchise keeps its soul and stands out as a game that is always a blast to play, either solo or with a friend. Totally recommend it. Expand
  3. okay the graphics arent great your doing the same every time but the action is awesome as the shooting is cool yes that is what you wound from a shooter ride you can upgrade your weapons that is a litle small but how you can custumase your mask is cool even for men that hate shopping or somthing the story is pretty only in every missions some won inportent dieds afteral its a cool game not that good looking but pretty fun Expand
  4. EA is at it again. This game requires that you sign in to Origin before you are allowed to play it. If you have lousy internet you will not be able to play this mediocre title, so maybe that's actually a good thing (unless you already paid for the damn thing). Gameplay is always linear; AI is watered down, even on the hardest difficulty. The only way to enjoy this game is with a friend and while you both are intoxicated. Otherwise the game is unchallenging, unimagintive, and the repetitive. Oh and did I mention the story was written by a 12 year old. Skip this one and invest the money you save on a worthier title.
