The best in the series

Devil's Cartel is by far the best Army of Two game there is. It's improved in almost every way from the previous two games, and I have to say that I had a ton of fun playing the co-op campaign with a friend. It's a polished experience with lots of customization and explosions.
The campaign features over 40 missions, some longer than others, and you mostly play with a either live or NPC co-op partner. Sometimes it's Army of Four when the other dudes join in to spice up the variety. It was like a non-stop Michael Bay film, like Bad Boys but with way cooler than Will Smith protagonists. The variety is decent too, whether it's gunz blazin (95% of the time), or a chopper scene, or a getaway car chase manning a machine gun turret as you escape.
AI programming has improved, meaning it's much easier to command your NPC if you're playing solo. They are much smarter than before also. You can tag stuff, tell him to shoot or come near you, and use his Overkill mode when the meter is full. If you both decide to press the Overkill button, it's chaos with the most crazy exploding fire insta kill bullets. That's the coolest part of the gameplay.
Otherwise, it's still a bit strategic if you want it to be, offering more points for backstabs, flanks, co-op tag team kills, etc. So it's best to work as a team with 1 person guns blazing and the other to flank with silencers and killer assassination close encounter finishers.
Expect lots of action, hilarious one liners from over-the-top cliché tatted up military types. I actually thought the dialogue was pretty good and made me laugh at times like the guy saying "shoot the red barrels man!! Don't you know red barrels always explode in video games?" I also loved the huge variety of gear to wear, masks (which you can also custom design like CoD's emblem), guns, and tattoos. I would absolutely check this game out if you can get a friend to play it with, it's worth the time.
