Good

Short and sweet

Army of Two sophomore year seems less exciting then the first and the multiplayer is far more cumbersome.

Co-op is great but controls are not as fluid, much more enjoyable in the original Ao2.

Multiplayer, dropped the ball here - should have been 2v2v2 at most, and man why is it so dark in these maps? Again the original felt much more fluid and more intense.

This game is 7 at best, its definitely not a solid 3rd person shooter, alot of changes and improvements need to be made before they even think of a third Ao2.

EA did a great job with this. Yes, it's different than the first, but isn't that the point. The expanded weapons customization feature is very cool, and accessable at any time while not in battle, which is very convenient. The graphics look terrific, the high action game play is really nice and challenging enough to still be fun without becoming fustrating. Vertical split screen takes a little getting used to but is actually kinda nice once you get used to it. I do miss the overkill mode, but the aggro is basically still the same. The online play is a lot of fun despite the occasional lag time that you may or may not have depending on the strength of your network. Lots of different game types on there and cutomizing your own mask is super cool. It may take some getting used to, but if you're playing with the same person you played the first game with and you work as a team, you will be successful. Overall a really great game and I couldn't be happier.

This would have been a great game if it were longer.
